WHAT's IN YOUR FEDEX/UPS TRUCK?

HW 45 in Black Star trim... landing scheduled for tomorrow.  ... Been waiting a year for this score

Congrats and good for you.

Where did you find a HW 45 in stock?

[WyoMan]

Airguns of Arizona has the HW 45 - but the Black Star was a special order. To be honest, I had given up about 6 months ago but they didn't forget me 
It just arrived... adjusted the lawyer trigger setting... now it's a short, crisp, and light break off the second stage... going to cancel all the scheduled activities for the day and just shoot it

It took 2 hours to scope it? Man your slipping a little.   . Very nice shooter for sure.

That is a real beauty. I wish that I was rich and famous like you, then I could buy one too. Nice gun.

You're right... I couldn't remember where I put the scope

Thanks guys

I'll shoot to that!

What a nice looking pistol.  Are you just going to shoot it?  Or do you have "plans" for it?

[arkmaker †]

That looks like a keeper Wyo!! 

[Ken]

That's a nice score and definitely a keeper.   

[RC1947]

That was worth waiting for.  Very nice!  RC

Didn't have any plans, but now that you mention it, hmmm.... uh-oh 

Well the first hundred (or so) shots were an adventure... lots of smoke, detonation, barrel fouling and spiraling pellets.
It's starting to settle down - group size went from don't-let-anyone-in-the-same-room-while-you're-shooting, to somewhat airy looking 1" to 2". The OM says it may need several hundred shots to break-in. I can believe that.

Recoil is noticeable but not the horror stories I've heard. The extra weight (nose heavy) scope may help? It's getting close to chrony time.
Thanks again guys!!

Ran across these advertised on the web..... good reviews for shooting convinced me to try it.  There are a few other makers of dual bifocals.
