Did they make a .25 HW45?

Hi!
Just been asked a question, and I was shure you would know the answer!

Did Weihrauch make a .25 cal, HW45 pistol?

No not to my knowledge. I'm pretty sure that it would be woefully underpowered.

for what i understand beeman commisioned the p1 with all 4 calibers in mind. i have seen online a box containing the pistol, 4 barrels and the shoulder stock. so I imagine it must have been available. And a .25 17 gr pellet at say 370 fps (about what jsb 18.1 gr shoot out of a .22) is nothing to snicker about. If used for ratting out to 15 yards it should be adequate. that is still about 5.5 fpe

Thanks guys, can go back now with these answers.
Thought you could answer that question.
You all seem to know your stuff!

Well there you go, they did. I never heard of that Beeman 4 caliber combo. Must be rare indeed.

Let me go back on that... I have been going over the beeman catalogues from yesteryear, and i can not find mention of a .25. I am sure weirauch did not offer a .25 cal hw45, so it would have been a beeman p1 that may have had it. (remember that hw45 is not available in .20 either, yet i am looking at one at the moment in my gun cabinet. it is a 2 power setting hw45 in .20 called the hw45 sport... box and all paperwork here, but not in the catalogue). The P1 was offered in .177, .20 and .22. Now the box set i saw was a luxurious set that might have been put together by a collector, as the P1 was not offered with the stock, which you had to purchase separately. looking at the simplicity of barrel changing on that gun, and the size of the breech O-ring it is very plausible that a .25 barrel may have been made as a custom order. And that was probably what i saw at that show. But I am absolutely sure that there were 4 barrels in that box, and the bottom one had a small sticker reading .25 calibre.
and now looking at my barrel i am sure my local gunsmith could get me a .25 caliber straw and machine it to fit... But my weird .20 cal shoots good enough so it will stay 5 mm. Now i wish a shoulder stock was put up for sale...
