The pistol is described as a sporter and is available in three different calibres: .177, .20 and .22. The HW 45 is used for target shooting and plinking. Its design is based on the cartridge pistol M1911, except that it has a greatly enlarged slide to accommodate the powerplant.

The HW 45 has a self-contained powerplant in the form of a compressed spring. The compression is achieved via an over arm cocking lever incorporated into the barrel. The HW 45 features a precision adjustable two stage trigger and a micrometer rear sight adjustable for windage and elevation. There is also a grooved dovetail rail for accessories.
