Hw45 accuracy problem ?

[Trumpetier]

45,s are very hard to master in my experience . But it could be just me

[Marc of France]

Yes have read here and there difficult to manage but I m surprise with very poor group.

Dirty barrel would be my best guess, chronograph it, and if power is consistent that rules out broken spring/guide (which would be next best guess)

Or.... loose rear sight blade? They are prone to being bumped or moved due to the over lever cocking action

[Cannon Fodder]

If they were made by anyone else they'd be a pig to shoot but as it's a hw it's just hard to master.

I expect that sort of answer from Tony L

[Shed tuner]

is the piston crashing / slamming when shot, ie very harsh cycle ? Ausie seal helps a lot. Also push a pellet through the barrel and check it's not coming out deformed ? Breach seal making good contact ? crap in the barrel ?

if it's mechanically OK... you need to hold it softly - when "resting" hold the pistol and rest your forearms on the rest, not the gun.

I'd put a stock on it.

Exactly this!

Spring pistols generally cant be "rested", but you can rest your arms, being careful to have your wrists and hands free.
Then you need to develop a consistent soft hold that lets the gun recoil naturally. It it just like with spring rifles, only more critical.
