    People getting rid of PT Honcho ?

    in Open Pistols

    Posted · Edited by smoker 01

    Hello I am a IPSC shooter from the Netherlands

    I have my Honcho for almost 2 years now and I think I am the only one In Europe as far as I can tell

    Tiffany did a great job helping me with ordering and helping me with all the details and questions I had

    I always read the Brain Enos forum it is a great way to keep myself informed about IPSC and pistols

    I never given a responce on the good and bad reviews that I have been reading but I think it is time to tell afther almost 2 years

    So my PT Honcho is a pistol with great accuracy and the slide to frame fit is the best I ever had or have seen before (exactly what I like and want)

    What can I say it is a great pistol I shoot 9major and I shoot all the matches I can with it

    The pistol never but also never let me down it is shooting beyond perfect belief me it got me to Dutch Open Champion last year

    I have been reading al kinds of stories the last two years but again I never had one issue with it

    It is easy to talk about something most never have experienced but from my side and have experienced with the Honcho it is just a great pistol

    I hope to shoot many more matches with my PT Honcho....

    Thanks to Phoenix Trinity

     

     

     

    People still waiting on Honchos...

    I am also on the waiting list but Ido understand the situation at this moment for sure

    And I know erverybody has a waiting list but listen I rather prefer a quality build gun then a rushed product

    I come from the other side of the ocean Europe I mean and yes we do also have this Corana problem overhere

    And the paperwork will take forever overhere at this moment because nobody is at his work at this moment and ofcourse nobody is interested in this paperwork for me to get this pistol to me

    That does not mean that I understand some people's situation but I do know one thing , never rush a gunsmith or gun company

    I shoot for about 25 years IPSC and I believe that the gun makers/smith  and I do not mean a factory will always try do there best to deliver the best quality they can otherwise they will loose customers and stop making pistols very soon in other words better have some patience and for sure in this terrible times

    So yes I am waiting but understand the situation and as said before I rather have a quality build pistol then a rushed one

    I had different brands but there is always a waiting time and 3-4-5 month's that is nothing believe me I am suprised that they can deliver a top quality build pistol , this ofcourse from what I heard in that time for so many people

    By the way I did not get a option or mail to change colors because of the situation with the silver color ??

    I quess they have a solution now or will have as soon as possible otherwise I quess they will inform me asap of changing the colors

    Ok

    I did load my 30 rounds mags up and left these for 2 days

    Also made the bolt as wet as it could be with good oil

    And......

    No more problems with the big 30 rounds mags

    PF range from 128 to 148 no problems anymore and bolt locking back with all PF

    PF 133-135 is by far the best to shoot and yes the 115  are better to shoot then the 124

    I gonna try the 145 and let all know

    Thanks for all the response !!!

    Thanks for the response my Sig is the new model MPX PCC with 16" barrel

    My load is Vitavuori N350 (slow burning powder) and I put 5 grains in there with a 124 bullit and I also loaded 115 with the same load , with the 124 was PF 146 and the 115 was 133PF

    All and everything is working fine in the 20 rounds magazine (I loaded to 126PF and this magazine still works with no problem at all)  but not in the 30 rounds magazine that's what I do not understand

    I really like this load so....(115grains with 133PF is great)

    And also with this load the bolt does lock back (with all loads I made the bolt does lock back so I think this should be oke)

    I do not know how a blowback rifle shoots but I do know there 's a difference between shooting PF 133 or 146 the 133PF is much faster on targets

    The 30rounds magazine ONLY works fine with factory ammo ??? (factory ammo is 124 Geco and was 146PF)

    I quess that load the 30 round magazine up with 30rounds and let it lay down for a few days maybe that helps

    And yes the Sig is brand new only had 600 to 700 round true the rifle now

    Is it true that 145ish+ power factor still feels softer than 125-130pf stuff in a blowback gun

    Thanks again for response and I hope answers keep coming because when the MPX runs it runs great and would hate it to sell it

    Hello I recently got myself a Sig MPX PCC

    I do reloading at 130 to 135 power factor

    Does sombody know why I do not get the 30rounds magazines running (I got 2)

    The 20 rounds magazine are no problem at all they run all day smoothly without any problems....

    All magazines are the new models so 2e generation

    I really do not understand why the big ones are not running without any problems

    If I take standard 9mm factory they will run oke but why not with reloaded ammo , the 20 rounds stick runs without any problems at all

    I also made ammo with the same factor as factory ammo but they also do not run decent

    Reloaded ammo is loaded perfect one time fired brass (they run in the 20 rounds stick perfect so ???)

    I hope someone can help me I really like the Sig and certainly the recoil wich is making me very happy 🙂

    I have some more questions about the Honcho please

    If I order the Honcho race ready model are there magazines included if I look at the movie it looks like that they are included in the case

    If I order at the Honcho race shop I can order the Honcho and build it like I want but are there also magazines included

    Can I use a Aftec extractor in the Honcho

    Is the gun compleet stainless or not (slide and frame ? )

    I do not understand the two colours thing..... compleet Dlc  I understand but I see many pictures and movies the Honcho's uncoated are they not coated (just stainless)

    If I want it nitrited or so is that posible or must I order it uncoated ( uncoated stainless) and do it myself

    Hope some one can help me....

    Can somebody tell me how the slide to frame fittings are

    A friend off me is shooting a new DVC-O and the frame to slide fitting are top/great can I assume they are the same or are these less with the Honcho

    Another question is : what caliber is  Chris Keen shooting the pistol seems really soft in his hands and is 9mm major also so soft shooting with the Honcho

    Also is it possible to make pop holes in the barrel or is it not needed
