Hi guys i have both versions of the hw45 ive had one since 1991 .177 twin power nickel i do like them and wouldn't part with them i do agree it doesn't suit all its big and a little or depending on perspective a lot top heavy! the standard grips don't really support the gun in hand very well houge replacements are a good cheap option tho they are a bit of a hand cannon!
i tend to use the 45s for a bit of target shooting if iam wanting tighter groups i use a gamo compact if i want to plink i use record jumbo if i want police swat team to turn up i get the makarov out and start cracking away
