I have one I bought simply for collecting purposes. Never fired it.
I have a photocopy of the manual and a sheet from the company showing that 70 grains was the recommended max charge.
There have been some rumblings that the guns have a defect and when I posted pictures of mine on a forum, I received a pm advising me not to shoot it. But the warning did not advise what this alleged problem is. (an unreliable safety wouldn't bother me for range shooting, but a gun that could blow up is another problem)
I tried several times to contact the company (in any of it's reincarnations) for some word on it and all my efforts were fruitless.
The Hawkeye pistols sure seem to bring a lot on the internet auctions. One in the box with all literature in unfired condition recently brought just over $650.00

I recently picked one up locally just because it looked so cool, but haven't fired it yet.
Mine is Stainless with a Gray Laminate Stock & overall length is 20".
I did get the original manual and tools. The Manual lists the recommended load as between 50 and 70 grains of FFFg or Pyrodex 'P'
It has an adjustable trigger and is supposed to be factory set at 2.5 lbs
I have also heard a "Rumor" that they are not safe but never have heard of a specific defect nor seen any official Knight statement of such.
