Im actually not too unhappy about the way my hw45's fire to be honest. I'm getting a five shot grouping at ten yards that can be covered by a two pence piece and as for plinking I'm dropping tins, cans, bottles etc at 20-25 yards without a problem. they are tricky guns indeed but they are so worth the perseverance. I have around 9 pistols and the 45's are my favourite. I also have an hw 75 pneumatic with is amazingly accurate but has non of the excitement of the 45's
