Weihrauch HW95
Hermann Weihrauch Sportwaffen GmbH & Co. KG · Rifle · In Production · 1994
Also known as: Beeman R9, HW95K, HW95 Luxus
Overview
The Weihrauch HW95 is a break-barrel, spring-piston air rifle chambered in .177 caliber, introduced in the mid-1990s as a lighter, sportier alternative to the larger HW80 and HW85. It pairs a slim break-barrel cocking action with Weihrauch's famed two-stage adjustable Rekord match trigger, an ambidextrous checkered beech stock, interchangeable front sight inserts and a fully adjustable rear sight. Its slender barrel is threaded at the muzzle to accept a moderator, and the rifle is also sold in North America as the Beeman HW95 / R9. It is widely used for sport shooting, plinking and small-game hunting.

Background
Marketed in the American market by Beeman as the R9, the HW95 became a favourite among air rifle enthusiasts for combining the smooth Rekord trigger with a lighter, handier profile than its HW80 and HW85 stablemates.
