This review analyzes five handguns from 2018 that failed to achieve market success despite their quality. The Sig Sauer P365 is excluded due to strong sales despite initial issues. The list includes the Smith & Wesson 686 variants for aesthetic and capacity reasons, the Archon Type B due to production delays, the Walther PPQ Subcompact for its market underperformance, the Bond Arms Bullpup for consumer resistance to its design, and the Hudson H9 for its rushed market entry and technical issues.
This video reviews five handguns released in 2018 that failed to gain market traction. The Ruger Security 9 underperformed despite its low price, while the Kimber K6s 3-inch missed the mark by omitting an external hammer. The Auto Mag's high MSRP made it inaccessible, and the Springfield Armory XDE suffered from political controversy. The Glock 19X was criticized for being a solution to a non-existent problem.
