    Mines the same except that I haven’t pushed the sticker in.
    Looks like it’s the way they are made.
    The marks appear to form a circle continued under the sticker.

    I assume that removing the sticker gives access to a bolt for grip removal.

    The base of the grip is convex.

    Thanks for checking. I do find this disappointing as I thought Weihrauch were famed for their build quality, their HW110's don't have any moulding marks, why do the pistols?

    Look, please don't take this personally but I really think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. When I first saw announcements for this pistol I thought it was a lot of money for a PCP pistol but when I was given a few shots with one by a club member it felt lovely and oozed quality. I had to hand it back quickly as it was making my wallet twitch!
    If you are really finding fault with the issues noted then my advice would be don't buy it, if it bugs you now it will bug you more when you have spent a shed load on it. I still think it is your sub conscious looking for a reason, any reason not to buy

    I'm beginning to think you're right Rich, thanks for your insight

    To be honest it does sound like a little thing to get wound up over but I can understand where you are coming from. I have a couple of stickers on my HW100 that annoy me, a Green triangular one I have got rid of, I think was a pressurised warning and the 2 left I think show if the rifle has been tampered with if they are damaged. As it is at the bottom of the grips it's not as if you are going to spend that much time looking at it, it's not as if it's on the barrel.
    Besides I was always told, it's not how a gun looks that matters, it's how it shoots that counts.

    Thanks Ade, as you say the true test is how it shoots & from what I've read they shoot really, really well. Decisions, decisions. I'm thinking now about going for an HW110 which is only £50 -£60 more & has more uses going for it.

    Hi mate, I will check mine after work.
    I also tend to over think issues and I must say I felt sick when I bought mine due to the cost. However, after loads of sessions I am still absolutely over the moon with mine. I over scrutinise everything but I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Hope whatever you decide on works out for you. 👍🏽
