Single-stroke pneumatic, accurate, easy to cock, truly ambidextrous. Ideal for plinking, spinners and more!
Solid construction, accurate, light trigger-pull, easy to cock, fun to shoot! That's just about everything you could ever want in an air pistol. The HW 40 PCA is a single-stroke pneumatic, which means it requires just one cocking stroke of the overlever. Because it doesn't have a mainspring, it can also be dry-fired. If you want to increase your accuracy and trigger control, dry-firing can help you do that.
Unlike many production pistols, the HW 40 is made of quality materials. Manufactured by the legendary German Weihrauch factory, this air pistol has a rifled steel barrel. In fact, all critical mechanisms are made of ordnance steel, while the exterior shell is made of tough, durable polymers.
Whether you shoot righthanded, lefthanded, single-handed or two-handed, the HW 40 PCA can accommodate you! The ambidextrous design and the functionality of the cocking mechanism are convenient no matter what style of shooting you enjoy.
Accuracy is 0.20" center-to-center. You won't find too many pistols in this price range that can brag about that kind of accuracy! This pistol is perfect for shooting 10-meter targets, but you'll end up doing a lot more with it. Plinking, shooting spinners, and popping tin cans are loads of fun, and the HW 40 is up to the challenge!

Things I liked:Trigger from the factory set at 11 oz. As accurate my colt match target .22,great sights, fits your hand like a glove Things I would have changed:Needs more power What others should know:You need to own this pistol

Things I liked:Finely crafted. The cocking mechanism is robust and easy to use with a little practice as is the loading routine. The trigger is a marvel with just enough take up to allow a relaxed aim and sure let off. The lack of recoil adds to the precision.
I have fired some 500 rounds of various types and weight and have had no problems

I have fired some 500 rounds of various types and weight and have had no problems. The FPS is low but this is a target/plinker not a hunter arm. Money well spent. A very respectable, accurate pistol. Enjoy the optic sights. Automatic safety is a good thing with a trigger this light. Things I would have changed:The gun is a bit light in the front for me. Some added weight might be nice. Some have concerns with polymer construction but it seems well done and there is metal where it is necessary. What others should know:I have fired precision pellets (RWS), Chinese pellets, Daisy pellets and about everything else I had on the shelf with no problems and remarkably not much variation in accuracy though wad cutters seem the best. For just plinking even the less expensive Daisy pellets work fine

Things I liked:Very comfortable grip; superb, predictable trigger; sights are easy to pick up in any light; pretty quiet (I shoot off my deck with neighbors 250 feet away); accurate right out of the box; virtually no recoil which can be a little disconcerting at first. Great pistol for casual shooting and teaching kids/new shooters how to shoot

Read MoreThings I liked:Very comfortable grip; superb, predictable trigger; sights are easy to pick up in any light; pretty quiet (I shoot off my deck with neighbors 250 feet away); accurate right out of the box; virtually no recoil which can be a little disconcerting at first. Great pistol for casual shooting and teaching kids/new shooters how to shoot because there's no real noise and no recoil. They can concentrate on sighting and smooth trigger pulls. Very well constructed with no burrs anywhere. Things I would have changed:Loading pellets takes a little getting used to because the breech is recessed under the cocking lever. Easy once you do it a few times. I found holding the barrel vertical with my left hand and loading with my right to be the best way. What others should know:Cocking also needs to be "learned." Again, very easy once you get it down right. Just be sure you use the heel of your hand to compress the cocking lever its last few inches. That way nothing gets caught (like skin!).

Things I liked:Well made, good quality. Very accurate but an 'ugly' duckling. Also, it needs more power especially in .22. Pyramid is simply the best ! Great service. Thank you ! Things I would have changed:It needs to be heavier. Less plastic but well made all-in-all. What others should know:I have a Beeman R7 and a

THE ABSOLUTE BEST TRIGGER on a pistol available today. Things I would have changed:The screw for securing/adjusting the rear sight is too loose, and does not provide enough travel for a lot of adjustment. The pistol is pretty light and would benefit from another 6-8 ounces, especially up front.
Sights could be better, the "rail" for attaching optics is not up to the task and could have been left off. What others should know:This is my THIRD try with "this" pistol.
I originally bought the Marksman clone for $40-$50, and it was such a piece of garbage I took it back within 12 hours. I considered keeping it (for about an hour) because the ergonomics were so nice, but MARKSMAN's engineering ended up pi$$ing me off and I took it back.
The second one I bought (immediately after returning the Marksman) was the "BEEMAN" clone. Again, GARBAGE! The Beeman upper receiver (which you use to pump the gun and cock the sear, over-lever fashion) "humped" up in the middle when you locked it back in place after the pumping stroke. I fired the BEEMAN 100 times in about 90 minutes, and got velocities between 350 FPS and 120 FPS ... yeah, "nice work", BEEMAN. Sent that one back, and had a hell of a time getting my money back from Beeman...I will never waste money with Beeman again.
I really hesitated on buying the HW40PCA, because I had been burned with the clones, but I had several HW products, and shot many, many more when I lived in Germany, so I figured I would trust them a little longer -- excellent decision!
My wife and I have a 10 meter range in our back yard, and we use the HW40PCA to shoot at paintballs, offhand. There are more than enough regular hits to make it a rewarding exercise.
