I had one many,many years ago, I remember it being so dreadful that I burned it!

I have one I got secondhand. I don't know if it was short from the factory or shortened at a later date, but it fits me like a glove! It came with the front sight extension, but I have a little WTC on it.
Coupled with a guide mod the gun is virtually recoiless and was great fun (and effective) on the bell target at the boinger bash.
My ignore list: <Hidden information>
Never owned one, but it's the air pistol equivalent of the Mauser C96, Artillery Luger, or Inglis Browning GP-35.
What's not to like?

Here's the one I made out of a broken walnut Rapid 7 stock: http://i.imgur.com/gdiWXFa.jpg http://i.imgur.com/BW7NXYQ.jpg
Tinbum mercilessly took the piss out of the second example.

Don't forget that with the stock fitted the rear sight will be too close to your eye and will appear blurred (that's why the stock is so long to try and reduce the effect a little) and since recoil is such a key element to the firing cycle you will find that the pistol with stock fitted shoots very high. There was a front sight extension that fitted over the front sight and lifted it up a few mm. I have never seen one of these in the flesh.
In my HW45 days I did acquire a stock but quickly realised its limitations. By all means get one as part of a collection but don't get excited about the prospect....
