Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main reasons the Honest Outlaw dislikes shooting the Colt King Cobra?

The Colt King Cobra is disliked for its gritty double-action trigger, a trough sight system hindering accuracy, and a grip that can painfully bump the shooter's hand. Its quality control and shootability are considered lacking compared to alternatives.

Why is the Beretta Cheetah 80X considered a poor choice by the Honest Outlaw?

The Beretta Cheetah 80X has sharp recoil due to its blowback operation in .380 ACP. More critically, its downward-angled beaver tail digs into the hand, causing injury, making it inferior to modern micro-compacts.

What issues does the Taurus PT 1911 have according to the Honest Outlaw?

The Taurus PT 1911 suffers from a heavy 9lb trigger pull, which is unacceptable for a single-action pistol. It also experiences reliability issues and poor ergonomics with its grip and manual safeties.

What makes the Standard Manufacturing S333 Thunderstruck difficult to shoot?

The S333 Thunderstruck has a massive 20lb+ double-finger trigger pull and poor ergonomics that force an awkward grip. It is also noted for extreme inaccuracy and frequent lock-up issues.
