is the guard fastened on tightly

The guard is on securely. As long as you're not misusing it, it'll be fine.

Yes, in fact it is glued on and the only way to remove it is to saw it off on all sides or take a rubber mallet and repeatedly whack it till it craks off. In short, yep, it's on there securely! The other answer you received is incorrect. I own two of these currently and the guard is already on the sword when you receive it.

You mean Tsuba ( hand guard)? It is fastened tightly. But It will be loose after years of use as they are bonded. But not likely for a brand new one.

The guard is fastened well enough. The problems we had were 1. The blade broke on the first day when my son tried to beat up a cardboard box, 2. The magnet for the scabbard came off easily.

It sits securely, but does not seem to lock into place how it should no matter how hard you try.

It is a tight fit, but the lid does close. If you are nervous about using force I would not get it

The rail was initially a bit loose on my GSG. I put two small pieces of electrical tape along the inside edges of the mount. With the tape in place, it tightened up snug.

I would say yes, the guards have springs... making them adjustable to an extent.

Hello,The guards are secured by a singular velcro strap in the middle of the guard. See my review for help securing the strap, and I previously answered a question on this item regarding size.. There will be a link in that answer. Good luck!

Yes the pin that comes with it is a nice tight fit, it keeps it from wobbling. We bought the locking pin which is separate.

The mount doesn't lock but it remains in the fold up position until put down. It is easily tightened if necessary. We are very pleased with the quality of the mount.

The strap is secured by Velcro. Being Velcro there is a small degree of adjustment, assuring a tight fit.

The light part has groves that you push the guard into. Then turn to stay in place. Can't have the bare light without the guard because that's what holds the glass in place. Not cheaply made, I had the same concern, but I like it and haven't had a problem with it.

Yes, though it is a bit of a snug fit. It was hard to get on straight the first time but after I re-situated it there was no problem.

Yes. They buckle around it, but they get a little loose and need to be tightened at times

It doesn't snap in place, but it is held by the two screw like things on the sides. It should be pretty secure. Yours might be defective.

I am just guessing but I don't see any reason why the guard would not stay in place (especially if it has an adjustable collar)

I believe the guard is adjustable , for use from front or either side . I haven't use this tool for sometime , but I believe this is the case.

yes, the sword is held by two leather loops that are snapped closed. The sword guard (the wide part between the handle and the blade) should keep the sword from sliding through the loops. Please note that this belt is very stiff and sized for an adult or teen.

Yes, mine does. The Velcro straps let you make it as tight or loose as you want. I make mine really tight and it doesn't slip.
