Weihrauch HW44 Reviews

Tell us what you think
It may not be pretty in some eyes but the beauty is in the accuracy and quietness. I am able to get near one hole accuracy with a red dot 4x at 10 yards. I am 83 yrs. old with not so good vision and if I can do this damn near anyone should. Expensive, yes but worth it.
Nothing.
Shot count in 22 is about 15 before topping off.
are the smooth trigger and the accuracy for 10m shooting is decent.
are that it would get more shots per fill, the gun itself is made of tons of plastic so it doesn't feel as durable as my Crosman Silhouette that is mainly metal and the HW44 is an odd shape which makes shipping more tricky
Not worth the money. For $1,000+ gun, it is shipped in a thin cardboard box with a few pieces of Styrofoam to minimize it moving around in the box. Our first order arrived damaged and had to be replaced. Crosman Silhouette is a far better value for 1/2 the price of this.

Accurate, well-made, quiet
Expensive (but you do get what you pay for)
I was hesitant to buy the HW44 due to the price (an air gun almost as expensive as my Tanfoglio Witness Hunter 10mm), but since I rarely shoot centerfire anymore due to ammo cost, I went for it. I do not regret it at all.
Since I received it, I have put at least 40 rounds through it every day (2 fills). I installed a Vortex Sparc II red dot and sighted it in for a 12 yard zero. I get 20 shots per fill (it is just barely touching the yellow after the 20th). I generally shoot this at a steel gong at 25 to 50 yards distance.
Today, I finally was able to test off of a rest at several different ranges 10 to 50 yards. Up to 30 yards, the small groups were less than 1" above/below the target. At 40 it drops 1.25 inches. At 50, it drops 4.25 inches, but the group was still barely over 1". This is very impressive for a pistol with a 1x red dot fired by a 55-year-old with bad eyes using cheap Crosman .22 14.3gr domed ammo.
Quality build and accurate
It would be nice if the safety could be engaged at any time
Had to shop around for a fill probe that actually worked
Delivered expeditiously and as advertised.
Quality
Fantastic Trigger, Accuracy, energy, fit & finish, magazine, slide cocking action and overall feel of quality.
Can't think of anything other than make less expensive! Lol
I don't own this but my buddy does (in .177) and I shot it enough to know I'm really impressed. If you're looking for a good quality pcp pistol and this is in your price range, I don't think you can be disappointed. FYI, I only used with a red dot, so can't comment on the sights.
It is also VERY quiet. Shot it alot in a garage where sound echos...this is quiet. In a tight neighborhood, neighbors won't even hear it outside. My buddies had it a year now with no issues.

I Also Recommend the Weihrauch HW45 Pistol and the Weihrauch HW98 Rifle
This is my first pcp pistol. It was a significant investment, and absolutely proved its value. I used to practice with spring or gas piston, resetting my stance on every shot. This pistol allows me to study and adjust body position with greater effect- just pull the side lever and go again. I use a red dot since my eyes are old. The rails are a wonderful feature.
Nothing really. Pyramid was totally helpful with any concerns I had.
Use the fill adapters that pyramid recommends. I thought they were redundant but I got leaks if I didnt use them.

It took me acouple of hours to switch to a "Lefty" gun but it was well worth it. I wont suggest doing this for the "un mechanically inclined" But! Once done it's the best pistol I have ever owned. It is sheer perfection. I want to upload my videos but it doesn't look like they don't want you to know how I really feel about my new companion . Its a shame.
I bought the Weihrauch HW44 pistol for pest control. I wanted the .22 caliber but settled for the .177 due to lack of inventory. Squirrels are digging up my yard, eating my door frames, getting into my chimney and attempting to get in the attic. I live in the city house to house and cannot use any loud pest control methods. I have already been able to eliminate quite a number of these rodents with this pistol in just one week. The silencer makes the HW44 so quiet that I have been able to get second shots on different pests during the same set. The HW44 is very accurate at 15 yards and probably will be when I start going further out to 25 and 50 yards. I found that the .177 caliber has sufficient head knocking power for squirrels and other pests of that size. The revolver style 10 shot clips are easy to load and insert into the pistol. I get 25-30 shots on one 2900 psi fill up. I really like this pistol because it is solving my problem.
I wish that there was a shoulder brace that i could add to the pistol for greater stability.
A red dot site works very well with this pistol.
great
nothing

It comes moderated so it is incredibly quiet. It is pretty accurate and one of my favorite guns to shoot.
A case would be nice. Especially since it is 19" long so it falls between a normal pistol case and a carbine case.
You will drain its tank fast. It has one of the best magazines in airguns. I was worried it wouldn't hold the pellets securely but it does and the pellets won't fall out. Bring a tank our portable compressor you will want to shoot several fills when you go out shooting.
