    The latest HW45 has corrected my only complaint with the open sights as now faster to sight in darker conditions.
    The power for the UK is perfect with good accuracy,the safety can loosen up but regular checks prevents loss of the retaining screw.
    Ensure pellet is fully home or you will damage the O ring but it is a simple job to replace it.
    Built to last and very reliable, pleased with my purchase.

    decided to buy the hw45, price tag a little heavy!! good build quality, few niggles of course. open sights not the best i ever used. own a cometa indian and find more accurate but hey the hw45 packs a punch for a pistol. im sure if i use a laser sight or scope may be astonished with the accuracy. spent lots of money on pistols, bit the bullet bought the daddy .NO REGRETS...

    Bought this Weihrauch HW45 or Beeman P1 .22 pistol in 1995 for £115 second hand, still own it today, and it still going strong, I have a pistol scope mounted the dove tail rails, a lazer sight attached to the trigger guard and an official hw45 wood shoulder stock. Nice set up overall but still looking for the silencer...

    The Weihrauch HW45 or Beeman P1(67) is the best pellet pistol you can buy. Durable, powerful and accurate. It goes everywhere with me. I use the largest shoulder rig, and it sits comfortably. It may be considered by some to be a little heavy, however, a pistol of this quality could not be made with less weight without loosing its quality.

    superbly built, well engineered,nice to shoot with pach mayer rubber grips fitted,priced as a serious spring air pistol...if you want a recoilless pistol tho go for the HW75 or the HW40 pneumatic pistol..highly recommended
    nice two stage trigger,walnut grips are a nice touch,well engineered german air pistol ,particularly like the two different selectable power levels, cock it to 9o degrees and you've got a 3.5ft lbs target plinker , cock to 140degrees and its a full power 5.2 ft lbs hunter pist ...

    I think this gun could be made smaller and compact without making it weaker powerwise also could be made with a better kind of metal i think the body is aluminium alloy it should be steel. also this gun is way over priced it is not worth 200 + pounds. only thing i can say is that it has good power and accuracy. if it was priced at £150 then i would say that its a good buy.

    For years I have debated about buying a P1/HW45. My main deterrant was price, @ $400+ msrp I just could not justify spending that much on a pistol. Recently a NIB used P1/.177 with extras appeared and I decided to take the plunge. Not to spoil the ending, but I am really happy with the gun.
    Over the years I've read a number of posts on various forums that state the P1 is difficult to shoot. The other half always raves about the accuracy and how "easy" these guns are to shoot. I will align mysel ...

    Have owned mine for 15 years originally started off a standard pistol but have added the shoulder stock scope and laser and foot long silencer giving the weapon rifle like shooting. It is now an awesome weapon to rabbit or vermin shoot with. Comfortable well weighted and very powerful. Excellent knock down and it looks superb.

    I bought this pistol after several months target shooting with my BSA Lightning XL Tactical .22 (a great rifle) in the garden. This was a second hand purchase from a gun shop and on initial inspection I was more than impressed with the look, feel and quality of the gun in person than internet images can manage.My choice was also a .22 in the standard black finish as I have big hands and find the larger pellet size easier to manage and of no detriment in accuracy out to 35ish yds.I have previous ...

    despite bad point niggles of which problem concerning piston seal could be easily overcome I still rate the HW45 as one of the best pistols in its category I have ever used in my 60 odd years of shooting air guns and firearms

    The Weihrauch HW45 or Beeman P1's extra barrel length is approximately one and quarter inch and makes the power level more acceptable without exceeding the legal limit in the UK or altering the pistol's looks

    A very cheaply built gun if you looking power performance and accuracy i would recommend the SMK S2 spring pistol I'd give that 10/10.

    I have had my Beeman version since 1989 and it is just as powerful now as it was then and it still looks new,I think this should rank with the classic Webley Premier's etc. I think it will be around for a long time to come.

    This pistol is for somebody who likes the challenge of shooting a spring piston pistol with recoil.
    I got my HW 45 STL .20 just over 3 weeks ago and I am just starting to put all my shots inside a one inch target at 33 feet in a offhands standing position shooting position.
    Here is more info and pictures of my HW 45 STL .20 on this link:

    I have had the good fortune to own 2 Weihrauch HW45's (at different times). Although I was warned each time that .177 or .22 was the way to go; I have bought .20 versions each time. I find that there is sufficient selection of pellets in .20 to give me all the ammo I need; and I find that at about 495 fps; it is a very powerful air pistol.

    I add rubber Hogue grips to give it a better feel; but other than that I don't need to add anything else to allow me full enjoyment of this great air gun! ...

    This is an amazing gun. It may be expensive but you do get what you pay for here. Some of the other reviewers have given it low marks because they don't like how it handles or whatever, but the gun its self is almost perfect. The power is a bit under the claim but it is very accurate and you still wont really find another pistol thats more powerful. It looks great and the quality is top class.
    The pistol is a bit heavy but this isn't really a bad point as it helps to cut down on the recoil a ...

    This is argueably one of the best all round [spring] air pistols.
    Specs include checkered walnut grips .2 stage trigger tension. Left or
    right hand grips available length 278mm, rail for scope, micrometer adj open sights.
    This is a full power air pistol rated at just under the legal limit about 5ft lbs a target version is also avilable at 2ft lbs in nickel.
    As mentioned this is a big air pistol at 278 o/a but at the highpower
    rating meant that greater weight and length were needed to negate ...
