    Absolutely, Mikey.. The point of impact can vary by as much as a good few inches, so definitely worth settling at one power level and zeroing accordingly. The strike point is actually LOWER at high power due to the piston travelling towards the shooter, forcing the muzzle down on the piston's compression stroke. Obviously, at longer ranges, those impact points might crossover due to the flatter trajectory with the higher velocity, though, but I haven't ever tested this out as mine only tend to get used at short range.

    The '45 is addictive and I don't want sessions to end quickly.

    And another bonus.....they smell fantastic.

    The real question is, how long before the sales thread?

    It was the low impact point at high power that surprised me all those years ago when i purchased my first 45.

    Indeed.

    Group sizes don't seem to differ much though, don't you think? I must do more scientific testing back to back, though.

    The HW pistol missing from my menagerie, though, is the '75, as you have. Lovely. I have the '40 and 70. Love 'em all, but they'd love it if the '75 came to live with them.

    Pistols are ace for short range use at hone. So wieldy and easy to grab. And you can stuff loads of them in a drawer!

    Doesn't the 45 have a Beeman clone? I remember looking at one a while back as I loved the appearance but could not love the price tag.

    Fair enough, I do get a bit muddled with the numbers but I'm slowly understanding them

    Not so much a clone, but the same thing, I think. A bit like the US get the Beeman R1 and we get the HW80, the States get the P1 and we get the HW45.

    Intresting, seems it'd be a similar weight to my Reckord but probably a more effective pistol (although not hard currently as I've still not sorted it)
