Frequently Asked Questions

What was the main issue with the Honor Guard pistol in the initial review?

The primary issue was a trigger reset problem where the trigger would not reset after firing a shot. This required physically pushing the trigger back into place to reset it, and it only occurred during live fire, not dry firing.

How did Honor Guard's customer service handle the trigger reset issue?

Honor Guard's customer service was highly praised. An owner of the company responded professionally, apologized, and promptly arranged for the pistol to be shipped back for repair, demonstrating excellent responsiveness.

What caused the trigger reset problem on the Honor Guard pistol?

The problem was identified as a small burr on the trigger bar. This burr prevented the trigger mechanism from resetting correctly during the cycling of the firearm.

Does the Honor Guard pistol's trigger reset properly now?

Yes, after the repair, the trigger now resets properly. However, the reviewer notes that the reset still has a slight hesitation or 'pause' before it fully resets, though it is no longer a functional issue.

How does the Honor Guard pistol compare to other single-stack concealed carry options?

While Honor Guard's customer service is excellent, the reviewer feels that established models like the S&W M&P Shield and the Springfield Armory Hellcat (or PPS) offer a more refined shooting experience and trigger reset, making them preferred choices for now.
