doug24's Review of Walther NightHawk

Good Points

Cool looking, feels like an extension of your arm after getting used to the long trigger pull,
Red dot is perfect for the pistol
The light is a nice addition and has suprising power for the compact size
Compensator helps the asthstetics as it would look to bulky without
The sound (many complaints from others) I rather enjoy it's loudness.


Bad Points

Very long trigger pull
Safety--as I am left handed and the safety is on the right side only
thus it is a bit combersome in my opionion
Single action only
Somewhat under powered at 360 FPS


General Comments

I am so pleased to have purchased my Walther NightHawk, not only is it the coolest looking pistol on the market, it has the added vaue of the red dot and flashlight mounted with room for other goodies.
Mine was purchased for the sole purpose of shooting rabbits from our garden and flower beds at night. Backyard daylight shooting is done with Gamo 890 .22 for the squirrels and my sons BEEMAN SH1000H .177 on the rabbits and starlings. But it is such a joy to shoot and has been very accurate groups within an 1" @ 20 yards

I've experienced no problems jambing or loading the CO2 which is neatly enclosed in the grip like a true semi-auto magazine nor have I had any trouble with pellets falling out of the 8 shot clips.

All in all this is the most fun a father and son can have with a air gun in the dark. Although a bit more power for humane kills would benefit the pistol only 360 (fps) head shots in the range of 10 to 15 yards usually does the trick and if by chance you don't get the head shot you've got 7 other pellets without the hassle of reloading.

After getting accustomed to the trigger it's not that bad, you simply
take up the slack prior to taking your last breath and zeroing in on a target.
If your looking for a pistol that can kill beyond 25 yards this probably isn't the best choice but if you want a cool looking ,great feeling gun with neat accessories you will not be disappointed.

Plan on getting another one or the Beretta XXTREME this way both my son and I can patrol our gardens together.
