Honor Guard 9mm fail

[Hoss]

I've seen these little 9mm's in a few local shops lately. Apparently, they suck as much as I assumed they would...

It sucks and I hate to be this way. But i just can’t bring myself to buy a new gun from such a new company. These small companies either don’t want to or don’t have the funds to perform proper testing. I hate not being able to support new companies and help grow the industry but I can’t afford to have a gun that has so much potential for problems.

Was just watching youtube on this!

Very unsafe! Just imagine if it doesn't take much, you could pop off a round just getting into the car while holstered!

I'd feel safer appendix carrying a single action 45 with no safety or trigger guard & a one pound trigger

The name alone and the billboard sized logo are enough to dissuade me.

Next pistol...Arex Rex Zero.

we must guard this honor.

sorry but that's all you could come up with for a company name?

Looks like a Sig P226/228

Kinda, but better. I wish the bore axis was lower though.

Didn't realize anyone actually bought those.

i think one of these was the first to pass military arms channel's gauntlet. not sure if that's the best test or not, but it is something i guess.

Shot one of these at the IV8888 shoot this year. That gun was horrible. The guy saw me putting a few rounds through my LCP II so he came up to me and handed me the Honor Guard. I literally shot 3 rounds out of it, dropped the mag, emptied the chamber and handed it back to him. He said "you can empty the mag, we have plenty of ammo." I politely declined. The 2nd worst shooting pistol I've ever shot just behind the S&W Bodyguard .380.

Was it from an Honor Guard rep?

He had an Honor Guard shirt on, I don't recall seeing a booth of theirs at the show though. That's not to say that they didn't have one or that he didn't come with another company though.

I had the Arex Zero one. It's heavy, and the trigger sucks. Well made, but it's not in any way shape or form better than a P226 or P229 it is based on.
