The 240 Magnum has more character and I think looks better than the HW45. Comparing the HW45 and BSA 240 Magnum is like comparing an E-type jaguar to a BMW M3, the M3 might be more powerful and technically better but people will still love the E-type in preference.
They can be accurate with practice, they are more hold-sensitive than some pistols but more challenging and satisfying to shoot because of it.
