Product Description

Weihrauch HW45 Air Pistol: Power, Precision, and Heritage

The Weihrauch HW45 is widely regarded as one of the finest spring-powered air pistols ever made. This superb model combines raw power with german quality hand finishing, resulting in a pistol that is as beautiful to behold as it is satisfying to shoot. It is accurate, robust, and holds the distinction of being one of the few pistols on the market truly capable of being an effective vermin hunter at close range. For those who demand the very best in engineering and performance, the HW45 stands in a league of its own.

Unrivalled Power and Performance

One of the standout features of the Weihrauch HW45 is its sheer power. It produces around 5ft/lbs of muzzle energy, placing it firmly among the most powerful air pistols available in the UK without requiring a firearms certificate. This high power output is not only ideal for responsible pest control but also provides laser-flat trajectories. The fired pellets are far less susceptible to crosswinds and other environmental conditions, ensuring that your point of aim remains true. This inherent stability leads to higher accuracy, making the HW45 a more than capable target shooter for serious enthusiasts.

Innovative Dual Power System

A unique feature that sets the HW45 apart from other weihrauch air pistols is its two-stage cocking system. This clever design offers two power levels, giving you greater versatility. You can cock the pistol to the first stage for reduced power, which is perfect for relaxed indoor target practice or training where full power isn't necessary. Continue the cocking effort to the second click, and you engage full power, unleashing the pistol's maximum potential. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for shooters who want one gun that can do it all.

Classic Design and Robust Build

The Weihrauch HW45 has been loosely modelled on the Colt Government 1911's shape for improved aesthetics and handling. This classic design feels substantial in the hand, with a weight and balance that mimics a real firearm. The over lever cocking mechanism is easy to use as well as being reliable, eliminating the need for the extra purchasing of CO2 or gas. You simply unclip the hammer, lift the top strap (which acts as the barrel housing), and crank it forward to compress the spring. This self-contained

power source means you can shoot all day without worrying about running out of propellant.

Precision Sighting and Optics

Accuracy is nothing without good sights, and the HW45 excels here. It features fully adjustable rear sights and a front sight with fibre optic enhanced inserts. These high-visibility sights make target acquisition fast and intuitive in various lighting conditions. The rear sight is fully adjustable for both windage and elevation, allowing you to fine-tune the pistol to your specific pellet choice. For those who prefer optical aids, the top strap features a 13mm dovetail rail. While it doesn't feature standard picatinny rails, this dovetail allows for the easy attachment of external optics like a red dot sight or a pistol scope. Please note you will require the specialist 13mm mounts to fit these additional optics.

Trigger and Safety Features

Weihrauch is famous for its triggers, and the HW45 is no exception. It boasts a two stage match design trigger that is fully adjustable. You can tune the weight and travel to suit your personal preference, ensuring a crisp, clean break every time you shoot. This level of control is essential for achieving tight groups on your targets. Safety is also paramount; the pistol features an ambidextrous safety catch that is easily accessible with your thumb. Additionally, the pistol has a dry firing facility, allowing you to practice your trigger pull and hold without discharging a pellet, saving your barrels from wear.

A Range of Stunning Finishes

The Weihrauch HW45 is available in several distinct styles to suit your taste. The standard model features a walnut grip and black action. However, the design models add a new level of visual appeal. The Black Star features a striking black action with a laminate grip. The Silver Star combines a stainless-look action with laminate grips, while the Bronze Star offers a unique bronze finish. These grip finishes not only look fantastic but are also anatomically shaped to fit a wide range of hands, from large to small. Some variants might be a special order, so check stock availability.
