Got word just before Christmas that the base of my build was close to being together and complete, ready to serialize and send to coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK66 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 admcd, I hope you get it in time! I got to put the first 150 rounds through mine last weekend. I think its gonna be a great gun!

I'm really excited about being able to finally order one. Hoping I have it in hand before some of the bigger matches in my part of the country.

ULshooter2491 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I think this is the route I’ve decided to go when I make the move to open. I like the fact I can drop the 40 barrel in and have the same ergos as my open gun. Might change once the chaos 2.0 is out and about but I’m pretty much just waiting for a mid summer 2 barrels free sale to order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbrussell Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 How are owners of Honchos finding their accuracy? Thinking of getting a 40 & 9 site block gun. Curious if they are accurate? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpYoursPal Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 The 9mm major barrel doesn't hold a group as well as my other open gun, but it's the difference of like 1/3rd of an inch at 15 yards. The supercomp barrel is just as accurate as my friend's Akai with the same ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sti2861 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Anyone received a Honcho ordered since mid August? I ordered mine then, paid the full amount in Sept when it was [going to finishing]. At that time, it was expected to be 10-15 days before shipping. Haven't heard much from PT on where things are. Just trying of figure out where I am in the queue. Thanks!

adrone Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) I understand the allure of the honcho great product and invention but I just cant see the weight as reasonable. I mean the wait is bad but wouldn't the weight be worse? What does a Honcho open setup with SS grip weigh? Edited March 18, 2022 by adrone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shoot very nice If you get used to using different guns the weight is extremely important. I like around 43-47 oz guns. Tried shorties in the high 30's but they are too wild for me. 50+ oz guns feel sluggish on draws and transitions. If you dont believe me try a much lighter one and time yourself. I guess it depends what you do though. Im speaking with regard to USPSA use. Edited March 18, 2022 by adrone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a PT frame and slide on one of my current open guns now and we kept cutting on it over and over until the dust cover was short and took alot of steel out where we could to get it down to 45oz or so with a plastic grip. If we add the SS evo grip back too heavy again. For me anyway. Thats my preference. To each his own but a lighter gun handles quicker imo. That being said the steel quality on both the slide and frame PT makes is excellent quality. Better steel than others we have messed with.

No matter how big you are......the stronger you are the more likely you will be able to handle and control a lighter open gun better than someone who isnt.

I guess you are right in that its preference though. Try each and see. Years ago heavy was popular. Then shorties light was popular. Then back to mid full lengths. Now heavy is becoming more popular with Atlas and Honchos. Honcho seems like a dream by design. It would be great to get away from custom everything....I just wish they would make it lighter.

MikeyScuba Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I’m always taking my guns off and my belt a lot of the time. It hurts toward the end of the day. I never weighted my revo and open gun but they are both heavy and I’m never above 151 in the summer at 5’7”. Maybe the heavy gun helps with my lack of mass? Compared to the giants above! it might explain why I sucked at limited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
engineerjet Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Ordered mine black friday. Was quoted the standard 24 weeks. Touched base two weeks ago and they said they just got some honchos back from coating that were ordered Sept-Oct. Unfortunately 50% of them had to be sent back for rework due to quality issues. It sounds like the biggest holdup is the coating process. I don't know whats going on, but if the coating company messed up half an order, they'd better address their QC or PT should find another vendor.

SergioSF Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I’m currently at 30 weeks. And I was just informed that mine may take another couple months, as my order is in the next batch waiting for coating. It’s been “at the coater” since late Oct last year. They said they’re now working with 3 different coating companies, and that guns having to be stripped and recoated is one of the biggest causes for their delay issues.
