Not familiar with that model but.
" will it shoot 30 to 40 yards without hold over Sighting in @ 25 yards "
No. You will have something like .40 inch drop at 40 but hey just deal with it. Just how small are you targets? The free chairgun program is your friend.

If I really thought it was worth the money (when buying new) then I would already have bought one by now specifically in 177 because it is a multi shot. Reason I haven't bought one yet is that I own the Crosman 1701P modified to 10-11fpe and a stock Crosman 1720T which shoot with extreme precision and get more shots out of these single shot target pistols and were significantly less costly and are not all covered in plastic so it is hard to justify the cost of the new HW44 IMHO. I would probably never buy one in 22 because I have a few P-Rods already which get more shots.

I also have a p rod and I agree with what you said lots of shots but I was looking for something for a little bit longer distance

Lothar Walther barrel replacement. 50 yards 1/2 inch groups and minute of egg accurate at 75 yards and tennis ball accurate at 100 yards.
You can also get the proven Marmot Militia hammer forged for $170 from WAR for a DIY install.

i have never shot it at 40 yards. i have a dot sight on mine and its not as precise as a scope. mine is a .22 cal and at 17 FPE you are most likely getting a 1 dot drop at that distance with jsb 15.89g but i can't say for sure. as for a pistol, the ataman is the most powerful i think. but it is much louder than the weihrach.

Rangur1 Overall what do you think of the pistol ? I’m looking for something for target shooting multi shots On target shots at 30/ 40 yards

It will be cheaper than spending $899 for an HW44. You already have a Marauder to start so at least you don't need to buy a new pistol.
The replacement drop in barrel is $170.00. You will probably look forward to shooting your P-Rod more after that upgrade and its 22 and not 177.
What I am not impressed about the HW44 is the price and also the low shot count and seen them on the classifieds for $125 less
than a new one and I still didn't consider buying it because I have a P-Rod that gets more shots and can hit things out to 100 yards.

That’s good food for thought I’m checking out a new barrel as I speak I also was looking at a used HW 44 $899 is a lot of money if I can get something that shoots out 40/50 yards in a Pistol That would be sweet

I am going with the Weihrauch HW 44 because of .177 flat trajectory I want a pistol that will be on target from 25 yards to 45 yards I know that the Prod well not fit the bill After watching YouTube I think the HW44.will. Any thoughts Don’t give me wrong I like the marauder pistol I have it set up with the stock great shot count

Let everyone know how it does at long distance. I think if it weren't for the price, more people would own one.

Just an update I’ve owned this pistol for six months shot over 2000 pellet through it (The second one ) The first one went back for low feet per second I was getting like 40 shots with the first one but in the low 600s new one 20 shots really accurate at 40 yards quiet I love it thinking about selling all my other air rifles keeping this one & the wildcat all I need !!!

I just got done zeroing my brand new HW44 at 25M (I use 25M zero for all my AG's) Shooting the JSB 10.34 (fav pellet for all my 1.77's) using a Burris 2-7x scope.
I am impressed with the accuracy of this pistol, I am sure if I had higher magnification my group size would be even tighter. Wanted a Leshi, but this HW44 is a keeper.
Just a heads up Crowman, there is now a Pistol section.

I have an HW44 in .177 cal. It is exceptionally accurate and functions extremely well. I don't commonly shoot pistols at 40 yards so I cannot comment on that aspect. Price is high but so is an Impact or a Daystate. You usually get what you pay for.
