On January 21st, Honor Defense will announce full details of its Honor Guard pistol voluntary upgrade program. For the time being, it sounds like changes to the striker assembly inside the slide are expected to resolve the drop safety vulnerability. Honor Defense’s press release follows . . .
Honor Defense offers Voluntary Upgrade for Honor Guard Pistols
Gainesville, GA (January 18, 2017) – All Honor Defense pistols meet or exceed industry and U.S.A standards for safety. These include the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Sporting Arms Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. (SAAMI®), and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) test protocols. Abusive handling (drop tests and jar off tests) have been conducted internally and confirmed by an outside laboratory recognized by the State of California.
Recent events indicate that handling an Honor Guard pistol beyond U.S.A. safety standards by dropping or striking the firearm with a hammer may cause an unintentional discharge. As a result, Honor Defense has developed an upgrade to the Honor Guard striker assembly (within the slide).
To receive the upgrade, go the Honor Defense website and follow the directions outlined in the Honor Guard Upgrade section. Once received, Honor Defense will upgrade your slide unit and promptly return it to you.
This upgrade will provide increased drop performance beyond U.S.A safety standards and is available to all owners of an Honor Guard pistol.
Details of this program will be available on www.honordefense.com on January 21, 2018.
Honor Defense is committed to providing the best single stack pistols for personal protection and using only American craftsmanship and parts for our firearms. Honor Defense pistols have been designed utilizing 100% USA parts, materials with every firearm assembled by Veterans.
Honor Defense is also committed to safety and ensuring we produce the finest possible firearms. For example, in addition to exceeding industry standards, the Honor Guard is designed for disassembly without pulling the trigger, or the use of tools. This is part of the Honor Defense commitment to safety and overcomes one of the major safety issues consumers have with striker-fired firearms. The added feature of a take-down lever eliminates a disassembly activity that could potentially lead to an accidental discharge.

Man, I haven’t seen a tap-dancing two-step like that in a *loooooong* time.
Why, I distinctly recall (dis) Honor Defense loudly proclaiming there was nothing wrong with their ‘perfect’ weapon.
Huh. Imagine that…
It never ceases to amaze me how, no matter how low an opinion these people have of the police, they maintain that civilians gun owners must be less skilled, and less responsible, pretty much axiomatically.
Bad guys will appreciate the artfully sculpted front end, especially since it’s the last thing they’ll ever see.
Hey, Jeremy – See if you can borrow Nick’s suppressed SBR 300 BLK and bolt that on it and let us know how it went…
Lets see lawbreaking, traffic blocking, store burning, assaultive little spoiled punks vs hard working Americans who have defended the nation, sacrificed and have jobs that provided economic support as well as families that make America great.
What was the question again?
lol now Mueller, who is as non-partisan and respected a law enforcement official as you can get at hight levels, is a “bad cop” because he’s investigating the politician you guys carry water for. Got it.
this is just idiotic
I was an adventurer. Until I took an arrow to the knee.
Hundreds of dollars to protect my vitals and the f*cker shoots me in the knee. With an arrow.
No more adventures for me. Anybody want to buy a vest that’s never been shot? Only been sweated in by a fat man. Anybody?
Getting killed by a HiPoint is demoralizing, getting gut shot with a $4000 gun makes you proud
Just got mine back from the “voluntary upgrade”. They didnt do a damn thing to fix the drop issue. Still does it 10/10 times from no more than 12-18 inches off the ground.
