HW45 and HW75 Alert

I ordered the HW75 from them earlier today.

One's easy to cock going one way...the other is easy to cock, going the other way !

I have the 45, "Bronze Star" with the wrap around grip, in .177.
Nice gun. Two position cocking (low and high power), accurate, not too loud. Feels nice in the hand. Had it about a year and a half now, with no problems. Although, I did do some grip modifications to better fir my hand. Have to finish stippling the grip !

I also have the Beeman P1. It's basically the same as the standard, HW45 with the standard Government grip panels. I put rubber, "palm swell" grips on it.

Both guns are well done, and should outlast...me !

If you have learnt to handle a springer pistol across many years of practice….repeatable hold perfection every time, buy the P1/45. If not, you require the much more forgiving recoilless nature of the 75.
Even then, having become a pistol marksman with springers, i can sill whip the P1 with a 75, quartering the group size, but at 350/385 fps territory, the 75 is too low for the occasional rat should the opportunity arise….you need 500 fps. You are also limited to 10 yard targets as wind effects and curve trajectory become an issue beyond that range.

I have the HW75, compared to my Beeman P17, it's easy to cock. Very accurate and quiet with no recoil. I like the molded grip as well. My understanding is that the HW45 is more powerful with more recoil. I only punch paper in the 10-15 yard range.

Max -
Don't let this "recoil" thing worry you.

Hmm, this, (in red, above) comment is highly subjective.
Neither my P1 or my HW45 produce enough "recoil" to be felt as overly detrimental. As in, not, hardly felt at all.

I guess it's a matter of hand / wrist strength. My 72 year old limbs do a perfectly fine (easy) job at controlling my two guns noted.
I also just shoot paper targets at similar distances to the above noted.

I'm five years ahead of you and agree.

I agree with the 2 posters here. Once mastered its fine….its hardly a full bore firearm recoil…and if you can master it, it will have much more uses than the 75 which is really limited to paper targets at 10 yds.

I agree from all I’ve read. The pure purpose of my HW75 is garage use at 25 feet. I shoot 1911 .45’s at the range. Recoil is a non issue for me. Simply having the weight and practicing trigger pull during those winter months is what I was looking for.

I ordered from them last month and they didn't charge me VAT. But I didn't look at the charge until after it had cleared. I thought someone said in another thread that it would drop off? But yeah, just ask them. They were responsive to questions I had, just took a day or two due to time differences. Also, they were prepping to move warehouses at that time, which is complete now.

I texted them and am waiting for a response. I don’t recall seeing it.

The email that showed the VAT charge had the title of "[Mundilar Airguns] Order confirmation"

And had "The Total Tax Paid" listed for 72.92

Check your email.

that shows on mine also. What status does your order show?

I purchased the HW75 for 10 meter practice.

This is exactly what I wanted it for. I also like that you can dry fire it (not opening all the way) as well for practice.

I received a response from Mundilar saying they are refunding the VAT charged. Makes a good deal even better. Mine is at the same status.
