Frequently Asked Questions

What are common reasons a firearm owner might not repurchase a gun?

Common reasons include reliability issues like failure to feed or reset, poor ergonomics leading to discomfort or reduced accuracy, difficulty in maintenance or disassembly, and a general lack of personal 'feel' or resonance with the firearm's design and performance.

Why is the Ruger LCP 2 not recommended by Hegshot87 for repurchase?

While acknowledging the Ruger LCP 2's excellent concealability, Hegshot87 prefers firearms that are more enjoyable to shoot. He suggests that if a gun isn't fun to take to the range, owners are less likely to practice, making slightly larger, more shootable options like the Glock 42 a better choice for carry.

What issues did Hegshot87 encounter with the Honor Guard pistol?

The primary issue with the Honor Guard pistol was a trigger reset problem, requiring manual manipulation to reset the trigger. Although the company reportedly fixed the gun, the initial experience led to the decision not to buy it again.

What makes the FNX-45 Tactical a firearm Hegshot87 wouldn't buy again?

Despite its high capacity (.45 ACP, 15 rounds) and suppressor-ready features, Hegshot87 finds the FNX-45 Tactical gets dirty quickly and he personally doesn't shoot it as well as other firearms. He keeps it for its unique features but wouldn't repurchase it.
