Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Glock 47 a disappointing firearm in 2023?

The Glock 47 is considered disappointing because it offers little over the existing Glock 17 and 19 models. It retains the same basic sights and trigger, leading reviewers to label it a 'lazy' release that doesn't advance the platform.

Why is the Beretta 80X Cheetah criticized in the Honest Outlaw review?

The Beretta 80X Cheetah faces criticism for its high price ($800-$1000) and substantial weight (25 oz) for a .380 ACP pistol. Additionally, its ergonomics were found to be uncomfortable, causing injury during testing.

What are the main issues with the Henry Homesteader 9mm carbine?

The Henry Homesteader is the top disappointment due to severe reliability problems from the start, even after factory repair. At nearly $1000, it also lacks essential modern features like M-LOK rails or easy optic mounting solutions.

Which firearms were mentioned as honorable mentions for disappointment?

Honorable mentions for disappointing firearms included the Sig P210 Carry for lacking modern features relative to its price, the Arsenal Firearms Strike One for poor reliability, and the Colt King Cobra for its harsh recoil compared to the Python.
