I guess Wednesday is the day you reset your Division Of The Week counter? “I’m shooting a Glcok in Production for the rest of this year, because I’m done switching guns. Or until Wednesday. Whichever comes sooner.” I knew when I posted this, you'd see it and say something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) In a day filled with guns displaying 38 ports, shark gills, and Limcat’s “we have a huge fetish for the ball endmill” aesthetic... ...This slab-sided look is pretty cool. It’s the same reason I like the Atlas Titan. All business. It says “We want you to be able to rack the gun easily, both front and rear. We got the slide weight right. But we skipped the window dressing.” Edited April 17, 2019 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I have the 3-Gun model and so far I really like it! I haven’t done a ton of swapping around, but did a trial run of 9mm Open to .40 limited in 300-some seconds. It seems to shoot nice and soft/flat (most of my shooting has been in 9-limited configuration, but a few rounds of .40 seemed nicer to shoot than my Edge), and the slide is buttery-smooth. I think I’m drinking the Flavor-aid on the locking-block method reducing felt recoil, then combine that with the Evo grip... I was looking at other custom shops, and really don’t think you can compare the Honcho for value, and quality seems to be on par from what I’ve seen. I think you’ll be very happy!

93notch Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 ya the weight of the gun is crazy from what i have read which my guess is helping with the recoil impluse. I am getting anxious for it to get here...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93notch Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 If i read it correctly but cant find it now they weight somewhere in the neighborhood of 59 ounces? for some reason that number sticks in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 3n37 in 9mm major and , it feels just like my 38 super comp loads, which are either 3n37 or AA7. What is the advantage of shooting major matches with the .38 SC ? Why not just shoot the 9mm in local and major matches ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a tick over 56 oz. which does help mitigate the recoil. But the really awesome part is the slide only weighs 10.1 oz. Combine all of the above with the 6# recoil spring that the Honchos are shipping with and you've got a really flat shooting gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently only using range pickup 9 brass, and that works great for for local matches, but I just don't trust that brass for a major match. But I suppose I could. Or at least buy some once fired 9 brass for majors. But that's the great part about the Honcho, lots of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avastcosmicarena Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Wish they offered a version that could switch back and forth between a frame mounted optic (open major) and a slide mounted optic (3 gun, open minor, more general purpose gun). Not too interested in having extra barrels for .40 S&W or .38 super. It's actually a little weird that they offer both .38 and 9mm. Most people don't switch back and forth between these too often, right? It seems 9mm is much more popular nowadays. Would be cool to see an island comp on the 3 gun minor 9mm barrel, like the STI Omni/DVC-P and the Atlas Erebus. Also wish they made it easier to mount other optics, like the Holosun 510C, on the open major version.

MemphisMechanic Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 @avastcosmicarena this is pretty clearly aimed specifically at the shooter who wants to utilize the gun in Open and Limited divisions - exclusively in USPSA. That’s a logical first step with a product like this. Perhaps if it succeeds they’ll market to the 3 gun and/or outlaw guys. I doubt you’ll ever see a slide m-ride dot; there’s not enough demand or places it fits into a competitive division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you’ll ever see a slide m-ride dot; there’s not enough demand or places it fits into a competitive division. What do you mean? They already have a "3 gun open" version that accepts a slide mounted optic. https://ptrinity.com/product/the-honcho-3-gun-model/ And it already comes with the comp'd open 9mm barrel. It would just require drilling out the receiver for the frame mounted optic & including the mount in the package. Then, it would be able to switch back and forth between open major and 3 gun open minor easily, just like the open major version can switch back and forth between open & the limited configuration. Some people just use open major style guns in 3 gun, but there is a new-ish trend of people using slide mounted optic guns with island compensators for 3 gun because they are lighter, easier to holster, etc... See: Atlas Erebus & STI Omni/DVC. Being able to have both in one gun would be really cool. Edited April 27, 2019 by avastcosmicarena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
