    If you must spoil it with a scope - Please note that HW decided to be awkward by making the HW45 dovetail wider (13mm IIRC) than any other post 1976 HW dovetail, so that most of your spare mounts won't fit on there.

    Hi
    Try simple Hawk RD25 red dot.
    I have 4 Hw45's and tried various low powered pistol scopes but the RD25 has been the best and a bargain.
    It comes with mounts which centralise the scope and have never shifted.
    No magnification but not needed at pistol ranges.
    It's small too and doesn't affect balance.
    Highly recommended.
    Cheers

    I stand to be corrected but I think the Black/silver star now has an 11mm dovetail rail.
    I fitted a Weaver 11mm red dot onto my B/S, no issues.

    Good luck, Phil
