I hold the pistol in my right hand by the grip with the muzzle pointing down.
Pop it open then twist my left hand around and place my palm in the gap. Then push outwards and down.
Find this easier than trying to pull it open
it's not as bad as initially thought, looking forward to getting a few pellets through it. may i add on full power !!!!
THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- May 2025.........BOING!!
When I was a wee guy. I used to cock my webley across my stomach.. all well and good till it pinches you OUCH!
It's worth practising your cocking technique , and developing it in a way that doesnt introduce sideways leverage... hence the reason webleys turn into wobblys 😁

I've only had one hw45... I wasnt a fan.. I grew up with webleys so I guess it was a bit of favouritism.
One thing about the hw45 I didnt like was the rattly, scrapy, noises it made. But this can easily be solved with a sheet of 0.5mm ptfe. I made washers to fit everywhere it seemed to make noise and I sleeved the piston as well. What a difference! Made the pistol much more solid feeling and smoother to cock and shoot.
