Honor Defense was getting sued out of business last time I checked. Kind of a bummer. I think it was a cop who dropped the gun and shot himself. I kind of liked the Honor Guard and was waiting for a second gen version. I try to support new American startup gun manufacturers even if they start a little rough.
These new little Savage 9mms may be all right..... Just kind of boring. The Mossberg isnt a bad little pistol. The Savage looks to be modular... thats good. Ported slide????? I guess thats so dust and dirt can enter the gun easier? Smart move there....looks really Savage! Single stack isnt the end of the world. No double strike capability is a big turn off for me. If they can get the street price 250 and below it will probably sell.... if it works. I might be willing to try one for $200 or so because I like modular pistols. Factory needs to offer spare parts though.
I guess they could cut the slide for an optic, thread the barrel, call it tactical super duper whatever and throw some zombie paint on it if they cant attract any movement in the market.
I apologize for the snarky tone. My son and I were at the Gun shop the other day looking and he told me everything looks the same......he is 8. I said yup! I had to let him look up the new Automags when we got home to get him excited about pistols again.
