Honor Defense Rolls Out Ambi Safeties

There are a lot of things to consider when purchasing a firearm. A feature important to some shooters is an ambidextrous safety. Those people will be interested to hear about the Honor Defense Honor Guard Line —they're pistols are, they tell us,  100% Made in the USA and assembled by Veterans.

Here’s some more about it.

Honor Defense Rolls Out Ambi Safeties

Honor Defense has added even more features to the Honor Guard line of single stack 9mm pistols.

“Ambidextrous safeties are now available in both Sub-Compact and Long Slide weapons” said Gary Ramey with Honor Defense. “They are perfect for people that prefer having a Manual Safety on their firearm. Ambidextrous safeties are perfect for LE and firearm owners that train both left-handed and right-handed.”

They are priced the same as other Honor Guard pistols during the launch period with an MSRP of $499. All Honor Defense firearms are available through the Distributor network.

Launched earlier this year, the All-American Made Honor Defense carry pistols all feature:

– Modular stainless steel chassis system
– Ambidextrous slide catch
– Ambidextrous magazine release
– Striker-fired design that can handle 9MM +P loads
– Snag-free sights
– Crisp 7 lb pull and short re-set
– Custom texture design to provide a better grip in all situations
– Two back straps for custom grip

More about Honor Defense in their own words.

We started with design input from military and government professionals that carried firearms for a living, as well as those that train civilians in firearm safety. Using that as our base, we developed a family of firearms and with key features that are superior to other products available.

We use only American Craftsmen and specify domestic steel. We are 100% manufactured in the USA and dedicated to keeping it that way. Honor Defense will not purchase parts from USA based subsidiaries for foreign firms that then manufacture the parts overseas. We support American craftsmen and manufacturing. And we don't apologize for that.

Our Designs

The China-Burma-India Theater (CBI) has been referred to as “The Forgotten Theater of World War II”. Flying over the Himalayas was also known as “The Skyway to Hell” and “The Aluminum Trail”. Many pilots would also call it “Operation Vomit”.

Our logo is designed after the shoulder patch worn by American soldiers based there.  This patch helped MP's identify American personnel during the frequent “issues” with British personnel. Although morale was low and the challenges were difficult, these American heroes served with bravery and honor.

Our logo pays homage to these brave Americans and all those that serve our country. We thank them for their service and have not forgotten their sacrifice.
