Page 5 of 7 - Weihrauch HW 75 Reviews

Everything that has already been said: fantastic trigger, excellent quality, beautiful appearance, exceptional accuracy. What I will add is that it arrived earlier in the week and yesterday (Saturday) was the first chance I had to shoot it and ended up doing so for most of the day. It was supposed to be yard work day and I got nothing done. It's that much fun to shoot.

Wish I would have gotten it sooner.

The specs on PA's website say loudness is medium, but it is very, very quiet. Cocking effort is much easier that what I expected after reading other reviews. I put two tins through it in a day and had no issues cocking it that many times. I hold The grip in my right hand just like I would hold it to shoot (keeping my finger away from the trigger, of course) and place the thick part of my left palm on the top just ahead of the rear sight and push my hands together and it is not a problem at all.

This pistol, like the other Weihrauch-made guns I own, exudes overall quality, both in engineering and function. It is nicely balanced, which is helped by the design of the comfortable grips. The accuracy is impressive. The trigger, which is adjustable, is superb. A scope, or red dot, fits nice and secure on the rail. Overall, a fine work of craftsmanship that is a pleasure to own and shoot. I haven't found it to be picky about the pellets used. A spare breech seal, and an Allen wrench for trigger adjustment are included.

Nada

It takes some effort to cock the gun, and you'll want to take care to not pinch a finger when closing...don't ask.

Quality of construction, it is an exceptionally nice pistol! Accuracy is top notch, I can quite easily shoot 22lr shell casings at 7 yards. The grip is VERY comfortable.

The trigger. The reason for 4 stars here is the trigger. Until this week I would have given 5 stars but now I have a HW40 (Beeman P3) and the trigger on it is much better. The HW75 uses the hammer in the trigger mechanism and this means that the trigger can only be so good. I have adjusted it to be more like the HW40, but its just not. The trigger is "squishier" and not as crisp as the HW40. It also could benefit from an over travel adjustment screw. The pistol could also be easier to cock. Its not God awful, but its a far cry from a breeze after a few hours.

Buy the HW40. Your paying twice as much for aluminum and wood. Don't get me wrong it is NICE! However, I find myself picking up the 40 over the 75 due to the trigger. If flash is important to you, the 75 wont disappoint and don't get me wrong, its a fantastic pistol with exceptional build quality, and superb accuracy, but it doesn't shoot any better than the 40 and the 40 has a much nicer trigger.

Beutifull!!!.... Acurate.... Quality.

More power... Cal. .22 as an option.

The trigger and accuracy will allow you to learn to shoot with a pitol.

This is the second most accurate air pistol I own after the IZH 46m. Excellent trigger, I like the exposed hammer, just an all around good handling and shooting air gun.

If you can only have one, save up for the Izzy. If however you want a more traditional looking air pistol, the HW75 will not disappoint.

Great gun! This is my favorite air pistol. Incredible trigger. Great sights. Excellent quality.

Nothing. Great gun.

This pistol is in my top gun drawer. It is my first choice for plinking at dime sized garage targets 15 feet away. My HW 75 is the perfect sports weapon on rainy days for hours of garage fun. Trigger pull and accuracy are perfect as well is the gun's weight and balence.

Not a thing.

Diablo Basic 7 grain pellets seem to be a perfect match for this target pistol and they are economically priced. I recommend wearing a glove to close the loaded barrel assembly to the frame. Repeated pressure on ones cocking hand while loading can get rather painful without wearing a glove. The grip is perfect for a medium hand size like mine, but may be too small for a larger one.

Well made. Feels and handles like a firearm. Simple operation. Accurate. More powerful than I expected.

I would like the safety to be located and operated more like a 1911

It is expensive but well worth the price. It strikes me as an heirloom piece that will be passed on( not many products today qualify in this regard). I am shooting my centerfire steel targets at 42 yards! It brings a smile to my face... very happy with this purchase.

We have an Izzy and a Steyr, but wanted something that had more of the feel of a conventional pistol in the hand. We did not, however, want to sacrifice quality or accuracy to get it. The HW 75 filled the bill, perfectly. It may not have the hair splitting accuracy of our match pistols, but it is quite capable of one hole groups at 10 meters. Ask me how I know.

Really have to dig to find a negative. Might be nice to have the option of switching out front sights, but we do quite well with the HW 75, as is.

You won't be satisfied with anything less after using this pistol. Buy it.

There's little not to like about this air pistol. Very accurate, wonderful trigger, good sights, easy to load and cock, beautiful fit and finish. It's large but well balanced. Looks heavier than it actually is but has enough heft to make it feel like a real target pistol. I agree with Neil's review below favorably comparing the HW 75 to the S&W Model 41, a gem of a .22. A quality casual target/plinker you can shoot in your garage or backyard. Perfect!

Nothing really. The stippling on the grip looks like it might be a bit of a dirt magnet but a soft, nylon brush cleans it up.

On my journey to relieving my addiction to expensive CO2 and finding a fun, accurate target shooter, I had a love/hate relationship with the Beeman P17 (actually three of them). After realizing I enjoy shooting airguns more than fixing them I decided to bite the pellet and go for quality, the HW 75. Well worth every dollar.
