HW40 PCA .177 review Bought one of these a few weeks back as a cheap way back into air pistol shooting. It is many years since I shot a pistol of any kind but this one is simply great fun. The HW40 is a single stroke pneumatic air pistol i.e. you charge it with air each time you open it to load a pellet. With a Hawke red dot atop the rail it shoots accurately and pro vides all the enjoyment I could want. Pellets in use atm are H &N FTT's which I had left over from the riles but will try...

They say dont hunt with any air pistol but out to 15 yards this pistol is lethal on squirrels, wood pigeon and crows (headshots only of course). Linked with a Hawke SportDot and AirArms Field Diablo in .177 it's an awesome pice of kit. This gun wil group sub half inch at 15 yards therefore I have no hesitation in using it for short range pest control. (read more)

This is a stylish single stroke;pneumatic
Good points;it's German and it's built steel and polymer.A great goodlooking dynamic pistol.(Careful for chinese imitations.'Made in Germany'is underneath the top part of gun when you open it).
Clever loading system;you 'cock'the hammer and it opens up with a gentle hiss.
Accuracy is also outstanding and it's quiet.
Target pistols can be so expensive but this is High quality at low price around £130.
Bad points;none.This is a pistol for those who want...

Written on: 18/09/2009 by Dehouser (11 reviews written)
I recently picked up an older HW40, the version sans tru-glo sights. The gun would not hold air for any length of time and was a trifle anemic in terms of velocity. It needed a new piston seal and a breech seal, both of which are easy to source through a hydraulic shop (nitrile o-rings are all they are). I cleaned up the piston head and compression chamber, coated the new seals with silicon oil, and installed them. Much better: no leaks and a noticeably crisper contact sound on my paper...

When weighed up, I think that the Weihrauch is the best air pistol money can buy. Spend on this and you won't be disappointed.
Lastly I would like to say that there are other guns similar to this (The Beeman P-1, The Beeman P-3) but they aren't made with the same materials and while they are decent pistols for plinking etc., they cannot keep up to the level of accuracy the HW 40 provides.

Written on: 29/08/2008 by cole5169 (19 reviews written)
The Weihrauch HW 40 PCA is a single-stroke pneumatic over-lever air pistol. The "hammer" is actually a latch, holding the back of the receiver in place. Pulling back on the hammer releases the top half of the receiver, which can then be rotated forward. This action fills the compression tube with air.
When the receiver is levered back into position - which takes considerable force - this air is compressed and stored for the next shot.
While open, a .177 pellet is fed manually directly...

Written on: 24/05/2008
At first I was impressed; the HW40 PCA shoots pretty much as well as my Walther LP53, and FWB 65 & 80.
After some more testing, I found that the elevation screw is moving by itself and that the grooves to stop it are cut too shallow. Checking on some other airgun sites, this seems to be a common problem.
It is not the quality that I expected for three times the money that the chinese copies cost!!!!

I have a webley Nemisis which is also a pneumatic air pistol, but the two don't compare, the weihrauch handles much better although i would say the power is about the same.
The tru-glow sights are not to everybodys taste but i like them.
unfortunately the rear sight elevation screw is slightly faulty, i have e.mailed Weihrauch and asked them to post me a replacement, i will let you know what their customer service is like in due course.

Written on: 19/01/2008 by QuickDrawJim (1 review written)
I bought this pistol on a whim, being mainly into air rifle shooting, but must say that for what it is designed for, it does it perfectly well. Weihrauch don't claim that it is an all-round air pistol, and rightly so. They designed it for informal target shooting and that?s exactly what it does - and does very well in fact.
If you want an air pistol with the power to shred some coke cans, or shoot objects out to 45 yards, then may I suggest that the HW45 would be the gun that you need...

I wanted a reliable gun which would allow all year outdoor shooting, my co2 pistols' performance has waned with the onset of Winter weather, and this one made me curious after a lengthy handling in the gun shop. I'd gone in there to look at true target air pistols, but this became an attractive and far less costly step to take.
Starting with the negative, that handling session was necessary because on first glances the gun is difficult to take seriously. There's been some attempt at jazzing...

Overall, this pistol is very accurate, very well built, and generally easy to use. The only problems some people may experience are difficulty in cocking until they get used to it. And loading pellets may be difficult for some people.
The only other thing to mention is that the trigger is very light, some people might like this, some might not, but it could easily be adjusted if you know what you're doing.

I wanted an air pistol for rats that have invaded my garden and think 10 yards is a reasonable shot for rats so not a lot of power is required. and settled on the HW 40 PCA since all I would ever get was a one shot effort before the rat took off. I took the HW 40 PCA out of the box, placed a target at 10m in the garden loaded a fiddly .177 and fired off a 5 shot group covered by a 1 pence coin. The pellets were Dynamit Nobel from Troisdorf Germany and seem to fit the pistol well. Others... (read more)

I have finally adjusted the sights in the vertical alignment on my HW40 .177 and tonight shot a baby rat at 8 metres in failing light dead centre though the head, sighted through those beautiful true -glo sights.
<br/>It dropped out of the bush it was climbing like a stone. After a few twitches it lay still. A very good short range Garden Rat pistol at 2.8 ft.lbs of energy. More than enough for a head shot rat.

Very accurate and powerful. Shoots like I have had it for years. I used some Bisley Flathead pellets and could group within half an inch, with not too much practice. Even my young boys can hit the target. A pleasure to shoot and highly addictive. Might even join a pistol club and try my hand at 10m. Beautiful trigger and sights. In a nutshell, mint! (read more)

The HW40 PCA is one of the best pistols I have owned, compared to my Feinwekbaus and my other pistols, there is hardly any difference in accuracy. I find the '40 to be good to handle, easy to sight up, not pellet fussy and after you get used to the sometimes stiff cocking mechanism, easy to load.
I can only fault this pistol on 1 point, which is easily rectified, the grips are too shiny for my liking and need roughening up, this I did in about 10 minutes with my Dremel and the sanding...

I paid just £89 for this wonderful pistol which is made in Germany rather than the Beeman clone which is made in China.
It is a very well weighted, recoiless pistol which is extremely accurate. It is fitted with fibre optis sights which are good for short range but not so good for longer ranges but seeing that I will only use it on the 10 metre range that isnt a problem.
The lever cocking system is a little stiff at first but after a couple of hundred shots it gets much, much easier.

I've had this pistol now for 2 weeks having owned a number of air rifles, I decided to dip into pistol shooting. My primary purpose was to use the pistol for target work but also do dispatch any rabbits quickly when out hunting if my shot with the rifle had not killed them outright. The pistol is rated at 410 fps so I assumed this would be powerful enough for the job.
As a target pistol, it is excellent. The comments made elsewhere about it's trigger are absolutely correct. The newest...

I bought the Weihrauch HW 40 PCA .22 for a week now. It's great so far and I'm sure it will be great down the road. This is a totally GREAT target gun. It was offered at a good price and to clarify, I just think this has a built-in compensator. If not a full compensator, the thing at the muzzle is there to release excess air from each shot, making the pistol more accurate. The long barrel length gives it a lot of power and accuracy also. My .22 model shoots at 360 fps. The gun fires... (read more)

I also bought a HW40 in .22 calibre, but I certainly don't get 360 fps. What's your secret? Even using Hobby pellets (the lightest I know of at 0.77g) I get 330 fps maximum. Stripping, relubing and changing the piston and breech seals hasn't changed anything. I also find the velocity varies quite a bit from shot to shot, no matter what pellet I use (up to 30 fps range).

I've chronoed the gun using 14.2g Gamo Match .22-caliber wadcutters in nominal conditions (still wind, dry and sunny). The gun stays a consistent 282 fps. I guess 360 is only a sales gimmick. But, the gun is very consistent. Each shot only differed by 2-3 fps. I shoot only intermittently.

Bishreyn's Response to trantAmerica's Review
Written on: 02/09/2008
Okay - so the 360 fps figure comes from sales material? In Europe Weihrauch specifies the ,22 at 93 metres/sec (305 fps) which is what I get with Umarex brand pellets (0.9g/13.9 grain). I wish mine was as consistent as yours, though! I even tried shimming the front of the barrel 0.5mm to compress the breech washer, but the gun is still inconsistent. Maybe my chrono is the culprit. Thanks for your comments.

Wow - the Weihrauch HW 40 PCA /Beeman P3 is an amazing air pistol! I shoot it as well or sometimes better than my 22lr target pistols at the 50ft indoor range! Some of the other shooters chuckled at me for shooting an air gun instead of a "real" gun. That is until they saw the scores I was shooting! I shoot it one handed - bullseye style and the trigger makes it "easy" to do this.

I got the HW40/Beeman P3 just after Christmas '04 and I've already fired about 3000 pellets through it. I confess its almost an addiction. The accuracy is uncanny and that trigger; well I've never fired a gun with such a sweet trigger.

<br>I pinched myself once when I closed the gun's barrel and that really stung! I don't want to repeat that again.

This Weihrauch HW 40 PCA /Beeman P3 air pistol is the most addictivly shootable pistol I have ever encountered.
The first thing one notices however, is the plastic frame. Do not let this worry you! The plastic is supported internally with metal and is very tough.

The Weihrauch HW 40 PCA /Beeman P3 could almost be a "Nemesis" clone. The trigger is much better - light and breaks evenly with no creep. The sights are excellent and unlike the Nemesis the rear sight is not in a vulnerable location.
A standard scope rail runs along the top of the barrel. However with a scope fitted closing the pistol to complete the compression stroke can be tricky, one has to ensurE that you are pressing down over on of the mounts.

To add to the above I have fitted a Webley Speedpoint this is a light, and inexpensive (£ 15 GBP) red dot reflex sight, made by "Singlepoint" who used to supply similar sights to the army.
<br>
<br>It does not use batteries as it takes in ambient light. You have to keep both eyes open and your sighting eye mentally superimposes a red dot on your viewing eye - it works! The dot is visible long after it is too dark for open sights . It is adjustable for elevation and windage.

<br>It can be mounted right at the rear of the scope rail and still leave space to press on the REAR of the barrel on the compression stroke.

You're not going to like this, but I bought the BEEMAN P17 Chinese made equivalent of the WEIHRAUCH HW40 for 1/4 of the price & it'san exact copy, except for the sights which are the more standard rear notch fully adjustable type & are perfectly matched to this pistol.
Everything about this airgun apparently is the same otherwise & the performance matches also. I believe WEIHRAUCH buyers are being ripped off when comparing the two pistols & only those who want the 'snob' value of having the WEIHRAUCH name should buy one & I genuinely feel that those who believe the hype saying the Chinese version is rubbish should try them both & see for themselves. I want value, accuracy & performance & I've got it for the price.
Sincerely.

In responce to your comment on the HW40 having tried a number of new and second hand Beeman p17 copies I found them to have poor build quality and differing power levels over a crono.Up to 6 months old similar in power then it falls off very quickly At £54 at my local gun store yes I looked but still decided on the weihrauch try weighing the two together the chinese has lost a little weight I wonder where its in the quality of the materials used, My other Weihrauch rifle is 8 years old and looks and fires like it did after having its first tin of Accpels though its barrel.Everones entitled to there opinions but I felt it was mony well spent.Tell me in 5 years time about your Chinese copywill it still perform as well I don,t think so ,even I like a bargin but when It came to choice the Weihrauch won .Years ago you had only Webley or BSA even I had a early Beeman where is it know recycled unable to stand the test of time.Get back to me in a couple of years and let me know how yoyr Chinese Copy is still faring thanks for your comment and good luck with yor BEEMAN
