Not much to see - SSP I take it?
Looks like an extended HW40 or Beeman P17 copy. Longer barrel/frame could make it easier to cock?
What's people's thoughts on this?

Good deals with these members
Yes, I thought it looked like competition for the hw45 until I noticed a different picture on the web and it did look like a longer version of the hw40 clone.( and it was ssp)
Might be ok if it shoots as well as a hw40 but with a bit more power
Ah, not more power then

The HW40 has a 27 pound cocking effort, and quickly becomes unpleasant to cock.
This gun is considerably longer than the HW40. So they had a choice of going for more power or lower cocking effort.
If what the bloke in the video says is true ie. that the cocking effort is about 14 pounds, then they have gone for the second option.
And, if that is the case, IMO they have made the correct choice. I will certainly consider buying one. I would never buy another HW40.
Unfortunately it will not have the build quality of the Weihrauch, and we will have to see how long it lasts.

I don't think the hw40 is that hard to cock really. You just have to snap it shut quickly. Lower effort can only be a good thing though and the longer sight base will help accuracy
