Not so. Two simple allen screws loosened and it pops right off. I do this every time I clean it.

I've shot it, I don't own one. I think it's pretty easy to use can't complain. A buddy of mine had one, I enjoyed it

With attitude like that, you'll FIT RIGHT IN Bud.

Well i understand now why you’re trying to shoot a 10 shot 4.5 mm hole this thing is nuts! Just got it today sighting in with 10.34 AA @ 10 m 10 shots from a rest all in the same hole mabe not quite 4.5 mm but close enough for ft!!! Oh and yes 2 set screws and the mod comes right off makes it field target legal

I have a 3-12 power Bug Buster on mine - side parallax knob and wheel. Should be great for FT.

I have .22 HW44 with a Red dot, most of the time, occasionally it gets a scope. I use mine for pest control and plinking, love it

The HW44 is the first PCP I saw Steve do a video and I fell in love with the looks of it. I still don't own one, but will someday, I hope.
I have a .177 Neutron Star I'll trade for one ...

I miss using mine. AoA has a preowned at a good price. They really are incredible, lightweight, accurate and so very quiet. I couldn’t believe the first time using it, thought the pellet didn’t exit.

I think there was some confusion as to whether or not the moderator was removable. The HW44 moderator has two grub screws that hold it on the barrel. Loosening the grub screws allows the moderator to be removed. The pistol has a surprisingly large bark without the moderator.

Per my previous response in this thread to similar questions, a friend bought one specifically for FT only to realize the moderator makes it illegal. I'm not sure if he tried to remove the mod and couldn't, or wasn't comfortable with spending a grand on an FT pistol only to find he'd need to spend another hundred
to use it.But to answer your question, Weihrauch made the 44 illegal.
To the best of my knowledge, they haven't corrected that mistake.However, I think the asking prices have come down since then.

Don't own one, but have wanted one since the first time I saw one, I just cant figure out why I should.

I was the same way. I seen them and was just drawn to it with the WANT ONE. Well several years later. Last November, I traded for one in .22. Oh boy, they shoot great, awesome trigger, feels good in my hand. Wondering why I waited so long to try one. January I bought the .177. Now I’d really like to try the HW110. So now once I recoup some funds, maybe I will find one to try.

IT would be a flip for me between the 44 and prod but i still hold out and not buy either . the 44 is a wonderful gun and the prod is very modifiable .
I also have a Morini 162IE even more accurate but not powerful . So why would i need the 44 ? = because it is there .

Because it’s a very accurate and very powerful ( for a pistol) pistol! Lol. Truely something worth having!

To me, it's the perfect looking pistol. It's the first PCP I ever saw, too so I'm kind of like an imprinted duckling...
