Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Honest Outlaw no longer want to shoot the Arsenal Strike One?

The Arsenal Strike One is criticized for being unreliable and inaccurate, despite its innovative Bergman locking system and low bore axis. Its successor, the Archon Type B, reportedly fixed most of these issues.

What issues does the Honest Outlaw have with Beretta SAO pistols like the 92XI Corsa?

While aesthetically pleasing and reliable, the sharp safety levers on Beretta Single Action Only models physically injure the reviewer's hands during recoil, leading him to prefer the ergonomics of the standard M9 series.

How does the FN Reflex compare to other micro 9mm pistols?

The FN Reflex is considered a decent micro 9mm, but the reviewer finds its recoil snappy and trigger quality lacking compared to competitors such as the S&W Shield Plus and Sig P365, which offer a better shooting experience.

What are the main criticisms of the Sig Sauer P320 series?

The Sig P320, M17, and M18 are criticized for clunky recoil and the lack of a trigger safety. The reviewer also expresses dissatisfaction with Sig Sauer's corporate response to safety controversies and their treatment of critics.
