Way back I fancied a high score 177 cal pistol, the advert said the most powerful in the world. It was rated 500 fps and the same action as the HW45. Got a HW45 averages 525 fps with Wasp pellets. I recommend the HW45 springier.
Just bought a hw45 pistol secondhand off a m8 that didnt use it much. Its a .177, but waighs in a bit! Have to get used to it I spos. Got a HW90k rifle, and thats on the hefty side as well. Good review. You explain things well!
i have a Weihrauch HW 45 and i must say, its an excellent gun :D its very accurate and it has a great sight too. also, it has a lovely feel to it and it is very powerful :D Thank you Weihrauch for making such a masterpiece ;)
After many years ive never found an air pistol as well built as the HW45. The ergonomics are superb and the accuracy is great for a high powered recoiling pistol. Although expensive there actually a bargain in my book because they seem to last forever
@TheScouserkidda Yes it works real WELL I have used mine on rabbits and quite a few times on rats close up in barns. I carry my HW 80 rifle with scope and use the HW 45 for close back up. It also keeps the drit out of the HW 45 as the the way it is closed up when ready to shoot. Cheers have a good day and a better tomorrow.
I have found the exact opposite. In half power the recoil sets in whilst the pellet is still in the barrel and I have to radically adjust the sights between half and full power. On full power the pellet clears the barrel before the recoil sets in. I have fired off well over 5,000 shots each in both the .22 and .177 versions I have. I will give you an example, if I have sighted in the pistol for just five yards at full power, if I then switch to half power using the same point of aim the pellet goes a good two and a half inches high. The only thing I can attribute this to is that the barrel reacts to the recoil whilst the pellet is still in the barrel.
just got one today and agree in low power good few inches above target full power spot on so i guess its like you said , love the gun, it's full power all the way from now on lol
Amongst the very many air guns I have had (rifles & pistols) this was one of two that I wish I never sold! The only problem I had was that the safety worked loose all the time! It needed a small jewelers screwdriver to tighten it but I know I should have used some "Loctite" on the thread!
I’ve purchased a new hw45 in October 2012, and have to say I haven’t had a problem with it. Maybe you’ve encountered a dud or they’ve quietly changed the design following the problem you've mentioned.
Yeah Ive heard about the dieseling problem but not the cocking lever. Is it possible you just got a bad one? I hope you got a refund or replacement for the pistol?
I own 20 air guns, often shoot a few hundred pellets in one session. Sure would not enjoy cranking this pistol so many times. Also, I would suggest inserting the pellet BEFORE cranking, as a safety precuation. Best wishes.
@switchingtomac Hi mate, this gun is available in both .177 .22 and also .20, in north america it is marketed as the beeman p1 but its the same gun as the HW45. I have one of these and there awesome! I dunno how easy it would be to obtain the .177 one in Canada as they shoot over 500fps and with some pellets closer to 600fps.
They should make a version of this that is not intended to look like something that it is not(like the colt). I want a great quality sporting air pistol that does not look like a toy.
Nice! I was offered one by a friend ,for £250 but i refused his offer,And wouldn’t drop the price,And although I really wanted it ,As id owned two before this and had sold them on for some reason I don’t remember,But I stuck to my guns "Pun intended" but after about 3 months I asked him if he was still wanting to sell it? as i knew it was worth the money,But unfortunately he’d sold it so that was that,Until around almost 2 years since his initial offer when he called me and asked "Do you still want to buy my HW45? to which i said "didn’t you tell me that you had sold it for your original asking price ?" His reply was something like Oh that fell through! Interesting that it was almost 2 years ago! so obviously he was telling porky pies! so I asked him what he wanted for it? which was £150 but as he had lied about it i thought i"d try my luck and so i told him i was short of money but could perhaps manage to afford £100 and he excepted the offer, So i was happy as it’s one of the older Models and after a quick look online, I saw they were going for about £400/450 so it was worth the wait,Still you definitely got the better deal what with a case and two different barrels , Does that mean you have tree in total,As i know they did a 1.77/2.0 and a 2.2 which is what i have!
Mała sugestia. W pierwszej kolejności ładujemy śrut następnie naciągamy naciąg, tak jest bezpieczniej. Druga sprawa, zaraz po wyjęciu z pudełka pistolet strasznie diesluje co skutkuje dużymi odskokami energii pomiędzy kolejnymi strzałami. W związku z tym wiatrówka należy rozebrać umyć oraz prawidłowo przesmarować jeżeli nie posiada się wiedzy oraz odpowiednich smarów warto zlecić smarowanie w serwisie. Dodatkowo warto przełożyć prowadnice sprężyny na drugą stronę. Po tych drobnych zabiegach wiatrówka nie przekracza odskoków energii 3 m/s co przy sprężynie daje bdb. wynik. Do celnego strzelania trzeba jednak wprawy przede wszystkim wyrobienie powtarzalnego uchwytu oraz pracy na spuście. Dla początkujących polecam młodszego brata - model HW40 PCP na sprężone powietrze. Mam oba modele oba są świetne niemniej jednak na początek przygody brał bym HW40. Jest tańszy w eksploatacji, cichszy, bez odrzutu, prosta konstrukcja.
I bought one three years ago. After only 600 pellets I had to stop using it to dispatch squirrels for humane reasons . My gunsmith said it had lost forty to fifty percent power and needed a complete refurb. Very disappointed as everyone speaks well of this model.
Yes, but you will need MZ pellets, mutant zombie pellets have a special explosive tip which explodes on impact of mutant zombies, you can of course use regular pellets for regular zombies.
satın alabileceğim en pahalı ve en iyi tabanca bu mu ? ben de almışken en iyisini almak istiyorum bir kere alacağım sonuçta. En iyisi en pahalısı hangi model acaba ? teşekkürler.
tüplü tabancaların tüp masrafı var ayrıca güçlüde değiller.hw45 kurmalı ağır mükemmel bir tabanca,hedefleme içinde lazer pointer takıldı mı harika olur...evet,pahalı ama almaya değer ben yakında alacağım...
peki ben bunu aldım diyelim, yanımda taşısam sıkıntı olurmu ? polis yakalasa el koyarmı silahıma ? bi kaç kez saldırıya uğradığım için amacım birazda kendimi korumak ve karşı tarafı caydırmak.
18 yaş altı satışı yasaktır üstünüzde yakalanırsanız sorun olur.Hw45 yay kurmalı geri tepmesi çoktur,hw75 pnomatik yani pistonla hava sıkıştırmalıdır,daha zayıftır ancak hw45 göre daha isabetlidir.sebebi hw45 de geri tepmeden dolayı sapma olmasıdır..
You may be able to hit your zombie if u rest end of barrel on its head then fire iv got a brand new .22 hw45 collecting dust also with .177 barrel gonna sell it as my zoraki is the only pistol I use far better in every way lol
I like BB guns, airguns, what have you. But you guys in Europe need to get your right to own guns back, or get some rights. They are trying to take ours away here in the US. We have guns and our government still act like fascists. lol
Spring airguns are outdated in my book, and CO2 ones are incredibly wasteful I have a HW40 PCA, one of the best things i ever bought, even if the sights are not so serious
@ 3:00 yes the pistol has life in it, I just wish the reviewer had some life in him. This is the result of decades of consuming low grade, mercury tainted fish and chips.
I've shot a tuned one at it was simply amazing it had a titan and a tbt kit installed very smooth to shoot indeed
Way back I fancied a high score 177 cal pistol, the advert said the most powerful in the world.
It was rated 500 fps and the same action as the HW45. Got a HW45 averages 525 fps with Wasp pellets. I recommend the HW45 springier.
What's the maximum pellets does this gun can carry?
Just bought a hw45 pistol secondhand off a m8 that didnt use it much.
Its a .177, but waighs in a bit!
Have to get used to it I spos.
Got a HW90k rifle, and thats on the hefty side as well.
Good review.
You explain things well!
i have a Weihrauch HW 45 and i must say, its an excellent gun :D its very accurate and it has a great sight too. also, it has a lovely feel to it and it is very powerful :D Thank you Weihrauch for making such a masterpiece ;)
amen
It isn't about how many shots you can get out of a single load. It's about hitting what you want to hit, it's about sport.
After many years ive never found an air pistol as well built as the HW45. The ergonomics are superb and the accuracy is great for a high powered recoiling pistol. Although expensive there actually a bargain in my book because they seem to last forever
sold my hw45 a while ago realy miss it.
I've got it and it's a beast
IVE GOT ONE AND LOVE IT
Good job on the review, I just bought a P1 in the US yesterday, can't wait to get it. I learned a lot about the gun from this video, Thank you!
my first air pistols. great fun. well recommended
Hi which is better for accuracy 177 or 22....i want one of these but not sure about the barrel size... Thank you
Best air pistol ive ever owed !
The low power mode is great for indoor short range practice I would imagine.
So that's how you say 'Weihrauch' no wonder I got laughed at when I asked to see one a few years back.
Is the gun quieter on half power? Is it quiet enough for indoor shooting?
@TheScouserkidda Yes it works real WELL I have used mine on rabbits and quite a few times on rats close up in barns.
I carry my HW 80 rifle with scope and use the HW 45 for close back up.
It also keeps the drit out of the HW 45 as the the way it is closed up when ready to shoot.

Michael Nager n
I've got one of these and only shoot on full power with pellets. Half power if I'm sending a cleaning pellet down the barrel.
Amongst the very many air guns I have had (rifles & pistols) this was one of two that I wish I never sold!
The only problem I had was that the safety worked loose all the time!
It needed a small jewelers screwdriver to tighten it but I know I should have used some "Loctite" on the thread!
Greetings from the USA. Nice review. I have the Beeman P1 (same thing as HW45) and it is an excellent airgun. I subbed.
I’ve purchased a new hw45 in October 2012, and have to say I haven’t had a problem with it. Maybe you’ve encountered a dud or they’ve quietly changed the design following the problem you've mentioned.
Super, enfin une vidéo utile ! Thank you very much
Yeah Ive heard about the dieseling problem but not the cocking lever. Is it possible you just got a bad one? I hope you got a refund or replacement for the pistol?
What a Gun !
I'm between buying this pistol or the zoraki hp01, which one is better?
This range is about a mile from me, great review :D
I own 20 air guns, often shoot a few hundred pellets in one session. Sure would not enjoy cranking this pistol so many times. Also, I would suggest inserting the pellet BEFORE cranking, as a safety precuation. Best wishes.

I thought your not meant to dry fire springers, in case they get damaged?
How new are you talking? Ive got a second hand silver star coming I hope its old enough to have the better cocking rail.
Concentrating on a target and making sure that the POI is the same as the POA? And for your notice, that thingy called shooting is a sport actually ;)
this next pistol i'm getting i mostly buy co2 pistols but i want a air pistol.
i used to have one the o ring that connects the piston and barrel used to break so offten i sold it
Aparently Developed as a training pistol for the 1911!
Yes for the Germans when they pick up a 1911 off a fallen solder in the world war
@theairgunsource I thought I would answer this as I have one. With the correct technique it's very easy, I could do it when I was 12
They should make a version of this that is not intended to look like something that it is not(like the colt). I want a great quality sporting air pistol that does not look like a toy.
Also the half cock is a maintainance friendly option as it does not put much strain on the spring. cheers.
I picked up a mint one with two different calibration barrels for £100 in a case..shoots fantastic.
Nice! I was offered one by a friend ,for £250 but i refused his offer,And wouldn’t drop the price,And although I really wanted it ,As id owned two before this and had sold them on for some reason I don’t remember,But I stuck to my guns "Pun intended" but after about 3 months I asked him if he was still wanting to sell it? as i knew it was worth the money,But unfortunately he’d sold it so that was that,Until around almost 2 years since his initial offer when he called me and asked "Do you still want to buy my HW45? to which i said "didn’t you tell me that you had sold it for your original asking price ?"

thumbs up, nice review
A good review!
what is the best all round caliber for this gun?
why does this hw45 not have fibre optic sights? i thought they all do
gr8 review!
Do both calibrate have dual power settings?
no only the .177
Rolls royce of air pistols.....Apparently developed as a training pistol for the Colt 1911...

Michal Majkel a co sadzisz o HW 75? Miales z tym do czynienia? Nosze sie z zamiarem kupna.
@97dmosley The new ones do, this must have been an old model.
Strange he said hed used the pistol extensively yet when he fired it at full power it made him jump.
Big wuss, he jumped...Bless.
Lol you take the piss man
is the grip plastic or wood
The grip is made woodstock.
@@Olivierr2 thanks I already bought it, but it doesn't feel like wood. 🖖
Show what your shooting at
@jamesv2811 Good to know! Thanks!
We do we just cant carry them but you need a license and so on
@pmarchitect Thankyou !
I bought one three years ago. After only 600 pellets I had to stop using it to dispatch squirrels for humane reasons . My gunsmith said it had lost forty to fifty percent power and needed a complete refurb. Very disappointed as everyone speaks well of this model.
Nice
Do not dry fire this gun or you will damage the o ring.
ReneSerna you miss understand the mechanism, by opening the breech you only set the trigger the piston does not move and can not be smashed this way
2240 all the way more fun to customize more parts
They are fun to customise, I fully kitted my 2250 out, HPA and the works, costing me hundreds, but the quality just isn't the same.
can I borrow the hat mate?
Hi, would this be useful in the inevitable attack of mutant zombies?
No only regular zombies.
Yes, but you will need MZ pellets, mutant zombie pellets have a special explosive tip which explodes on impact of mutant zombies, you can of course use regular pellets for regular zombies.
@RJM1011 *owned.
Just wondering if the presenter here will do after dinner speaking!
Apart from Webley the Germans do make the best Pistols !👍😆
better than a shitty c02 gun that looses power after every shot
çok kaliteli tabanca ancak fiyatıda o derece tuzlu 1000tl gibi..
satın alabileceğim en pahalı ve en iyi tabanca bu mu ? ben de almışken en iyisini almak istiyorum bir kere alacağım sonuçta. En iyisi en pahalısı hangi model acaba ? teşekkürler.

HW 75 modeli var onu almak istiyorum açıkcası dostum. Acaba HW 45 ve HW 75 arasındaki farklar ne.
18 yaş altı satışı yasaktır üstünüzde yakalanırsanız sorun olur.Hw45 yay kurmalı geri tepmesi çoktur,hw75 pnomatik yani pistonla hava sıkıştırmalıdır,daha zayıftır ancak hw45 göre daha isabetlidir.sebebi hw45 de geri tepmeden dolayı sapma olmasıdır..
You may be able to hit your zombie if u rest end of barrel on its head then fire iv got a brand new .22 hw45 collecting dust also with .177 barrel gonna sell it as my zoraki is the only pistol I use far better in every way lol
There;s an annoying seagull I want to shoot near my house. This could do the job.
This gun lost me at 0:45
I like BB guns, airguns, what have you. But you guys in Europe need to get your right to own guns back, or get some rights. They are trying to take ours away here in the US. We have guns and our government still act like fascists. lol

@ 3:00 yes the pistol has life in it, I just wish the reviewer had some life in him.
This is the result of decades of consuming low grade, mercury tainted fish and chips.
looks too much work for one shot
You poor bastards..
hahaahah that jump for the recoil.... lol tell he gets paid to try and sell weiraunch haha
Is it capable of shooting rats
for the same price you can get a superior and more powerfull air rifle
These guns are a complete ripoff. If I am going to spend that much for it I will buy a real gun legally or if need be illegally.
