Just picked up one of these and it's a bit stiff to cock. Since it has what I take to be a plastic hooded front sight, I don't want to cup it with my palm, which leaves not much barrel to hang on to. As I have a bit of joint pain these days, is there a cocking aid, etc, that was made for these? (The old BSF and Walthers used to come with a wooden ball to slip over the muzzle and sight.)
Thanks in Advance!

My RWS Diana P5 Magnum`s front sight is just a red fiber optic so I also have to be careful when I go break the barrel. Nothing much I can do about it....at least the fiber optic is pretty thick.

I have the 800 mag which is the hatsan version of ur pistol which means urs might be heavy?I shot mines so much probaly 1500 shots maybe 2000 the cocking aide is in the trash lol I can do it by hand ur rws should be a better shooter than mine more acurate try rws hobbies or miesterkuglins and see what u get.

This is the older target version from the 80's.

I have one. I don't have a problem cocking but She does. I was thinking about slotting a length of 3/4" PVC irrigation pipe for the front sight, maybe carpeting the inside of a 1" piece, just for a cocking aid. I didn't try it, but I don't see how it would be much different than the ones they sell.
