s is surprisingly just around the corner and I wanted to take the last opportunity in this year to introduce you to a new product:
The H&N Hornet Pistol in .177 caliber
The H&N Hornet has enjoyed continued popularity among recreational shooters for several years. However, due to its length, it cannot be used in all airguns, especially not in the ever-popular CO2-operated pistols with rotary magazines. Moreover, the weight often prevents its use in relatively low-powered airguns.
This problem prompted us to revisit our drawing board and to make a shorter version. The body and tip both need to be adjusted so that the center of gravity is in the right place and the overall balance is right. In addition, the new pellet should continue to “work” in the target as usual. Finally, the smaller lead bodies and brass tips have to be fed flawlessly into the joining machine and put together.
With a maximum length of 5.35 mm, the new H&N Hornet Pistol fits seamlessly into any standard rotary magazine. The weight is reduced to 7.7 grains, making it suitable also for lower power airguns. And it is still a member of the Hornet family and thus packs a powerful punch with its brass tip and hollow point, ensuring easy penetration and controlled deformation on impact.
The first shops in Europe are already offering the H&N Hornet Pistol and there are more on a cargo ship halfway across the Atlantic.
That’s it from H&N for this year, dear airgun aficionados.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
