thank you for the responses.. I was going to upgrade and sell my HW44, but will probably skip.

I've been posting pictures of targets with 5 shot one hole groups all winter. My wife loves to shoot this pistol with me as well. I have the 3-12 power bug buster on mine.View attachment 340164View attachment 340165
I have a red dot and a scope and a diopter. For wasps the scope is the one.It would be great for what I have been doing with my Izzy which is picking off wasps.
a little red dot and this repeater would be a wasp killing beast.
Maybe need to turn down the power even 12 ft lbs would be way to much for this task.
I have just had an hour with the 44 carbine. Even at 6ftlbs its a remarkable little rifle. At that power level the shot count is huge. Mine is .177. It has the scope aboard at the moment. Choices are scope diopter or red dot. It rained for the whole hour. I cant resist showing it off sorry. The diopter set up was before I properly sorted the foresight.(see tape)I have been using a red dot on my IZH46 for the wasps, it is challenging but rewarding when you nail one.
I sat down at lunch one day and picked off 3 dozen of them.
It is a challenge as the water moves them and you are constantly ranging, moving the gun, and trying to hurry before they fly away.

So many nice accessories etc. produced and sold on web sites for airgunners in the UK that don't ship outside of the UK. Can be very time consuming and frustrating looking for US vendors only to come up with zero.Okay now it is even worse.
I found your Bob Pattenden "Custom grip target stock"
But he list it as UK only!
I guess that saves me from spending in the near future. Ha, ha.
Sending you a pmHW44 is an amazing pistol. I have had the opportunity to shoot 3 different ones one in .177 & two in .22 in the past few months. To say the least they are Accurate. I don't think that you can get a bad one. I have owned several pistols in the past and have hunted with pistols most of my life from muzzleloaders, revolvers, single shots, semi auto pistols taking mostly deer & squirrels. The HW44 is an amazing pistol. I have been shooting them from 10, 20, 36yds outside and consistently getting 10 shots within 1/4-1/2" groups all day. A lot of groups at 36yds you can cover with a nickel or less. They are super quiet, light weight, nice triggers. Loading mag into receiver is different, but easy to get used to. Shot count seems a little low compared to some of the other pistols I have had in past years. I get 2 mags per fill of 200bar from .177 or .22cal. I am really impressed with them and the accuracy. Great pistol! Squirrels are going to be hating me this fall in the tree stand.
