Phantom 631 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I am getting the HW45 now. having it for my birthday off OH . cant wait to try it out. I want to get a scope for it too You better get your other half to give you some "Wrist Excercise" then cus its a gun and a half in weight and in kick!! I would also suggest you get one of the 'Hogue' type grips to slip over the original grip as it will help with your hold consistancy Phantom Quote Link to post

Phantom 631 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Hey Jac They just slip around the wood and help greatly to improve your grip cosistancy. The best thing about the 'standard' side grip panels is that they are identical to the 1911 45 auto from Colt so you can buy mother of perl, slate, almost every kind of wood there is grips and rubber, but non of them have the finger spacing that the slip on Hogue will proved. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hogue-Handall-Universal-Pistol-Rifle-Grips-/130406934255?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&hash=item1e5cdbe6ef Phantom Quote Link to post

RiffRaff 5 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 ,other than that i find the trigger is naff compared to my Rhom,,tau 7,,bruno multishot. Niel But you and I both know we can not seriously compare the trigger of an alecto to the Rhom, Tau or Bruno can we That would be like comparing the Steyer trigger to a CP99 co2 job! Phantom same as the acuracy shooting the webley one handed it aint gonna happen dood its big its ugly,, just like them bloody edgar bros rifles Quote Link to post

I managed sub 1/2 inch groups one handed with the Alecto maybe cuz it wasnt in production at the time, but it sure was SWEEEEEEET Was even better after I'd put 50 or so down range.

I almost made the mistake of buying a Typhoon Everyone who I know that shoots pistols have all had a try with one (and I know a lot) and they all regret loosing their money. The hype was good, but in the real world a fully recoiling spring pistol such as the GAT is a far more accurate pistol. Its okay for bashing cans where accuracy is not essential but when it comes to paper punching :wallbash: Phantom Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Jac is the 45 .177 or .22? Nearly all my .177 pistols got fed D&N Geco's they all loved em. Although my HW40 got on better with the Eley Wasp and Webley Harrier (and apparently the Harrier are a crap pellet) If you log into the UBC and ask what pellet for a 45, most of the owners on there will give you their choices Phantom Quote Link to post
