    Hi Jim before buying a new pistol or adding wieght to your muzzle try this, get your self 12" of fishing line and a tub of lead fishing wieghts, loop and tie off the line and add wieghts to the line and loop over the muzzle so it pulls the end down, keep adding wieght until it shoots the way you want. it's a cheap option to find out the wieght required, once you know the wieght you can add it permanatley inside the muzzle.

    buying a heavier pistol doesn't mean you will hold it steady, and can even have the reverse affect IMHO

    Hmmm....never thought that more weight might have the reverse effect.

    A problem is that the pistol cocks from the top, hinges from the front: anything attached to the muzzle would probably have to be duct-taped to the lower part of the muzzle housing, or it would interfere with cocking.

    Thanks for the idea!

    How would I add weight permanently inside the muzzle?

    When you open the the pistol as if you are cocking it ,at the front of the pistols body where it pivots is several small square appertures,I put fishing weights in these held in with blu tacnot a very refined job but it worked in calming down the slight flip I got when shooting my HW40 which in all sense and purposes is the same pistol
