I have often wondered why there has never been an attempt (to my limited knowledge)to reduce the power on an HW45?

I know the fact that they´re full power has been an attraction, but surely most people use them for plinking, and don't try to take game with them.

Given their weight, and build quality, wouldn't there be a case for them having a slightly weaker spring so that they could be a little easier to shoot at inanimate targets.

Are there any instances of people detuning them to get better perfomance? If not, is that because they don't work well at reduced velocities, or because those who buy them insist on full power?

Are the 22 versions more forgiving than the 177?
