Always wanted a... HW45
« on: April 27, 2010, 08:46:45 AM »


I have been wanting one of these for a long while, but the price has always been steep. Price and opportunity recently came together, though. This was a well-cared for but definitely used model that seemed just right.



You can call it a P1 if you want. I don't think they differed much?





I can't say much in the way of statistics yet, as I have been awfully sick since shortly after it got here (some gastroenteritis thing that turns you into a two-ended volcano).



I can tell you it shoots, and feels like a fistful of quality. They sure captured the John Browning feel. The trigger didn't seem quite as nice as the P3, but I haven't even started figuring the adjustments out yet. It's probably not fair to compare a springer to an SSP but that's what I'll be doing.





I will post some chrony numbers when I get a chance, hopefully followed by some plausible groups.

And just to keep the record straight: this clocks about 430 fps with Crosman Premiers (7.9 gr.).



This is the best springer pistol I have now, as far as shooting behavior. Quite amazing.
