I cannot comment on the design, but functionality wise, shoots very flat. So basically, when the barrel links down, nearly all the force is exerted on the forward tip of that arm in the center, which acts as a lever. That, in turn, transfers maximum force to the radius that's adjacent to the hole in the center, which is the thinnest, weakest point on the part.

I'm no engineer, however the design reminds me of a glock,, with the Honcho's locking block being physically larger than that of the glock. This arrangement seems to work OK for Glock. I'll keep an open mind until we start getting multiple reports of cracked Honcho locking blocks. Edited June 12, 2020 by muncie21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This arrangement seems to work OK for Glock. On the Glock, the ramped part that the barrel impacts is part of the frame block and is supported at the rear. It may function the same in terms of how it locks and unlocks, but the design of the parts is very different. Depending on the the force, the Honcho design might be fine. But seeing how that one in the photo cracked is not a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVPFc Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 2 hours ago, japarker82 said: Most of us had a quoted delivery way before covid kicked off. Your build is 8 weeks past the quoted lead time. COVID restrictions have been in place longer than that. I understand that it is frustrating. But please don’t spread false information. If you need to go a different direction, I completely understand. Feel free to give me a call on Monday to discuss options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Watson Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Neat looking outfit, but there is a corollary to Murphy's Law that states that a convertible firearm will be found to be in the configuration you did NOT want to shoot today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertwil18 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Current "quoted" lead time is around 22 weeks now. Someone asked on a FB post regarding the Father's Day sale. Not unexpected given the backlog and Covid-19 craziness. Looking forward to my next one being built and delivered. The Honcho really is a great pistol.

The Honcho really is a great pistol. I was quoted 12/14 weeks back in Dec 9, than Covid hit plus a the coating factory accident and things got extremely delayed... I remain hopeful, and I can't wait to get mine. 6 months and counting I was told 2 weeks and that my build is being sent to coating, but??? Who knows at this time~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
