Archon 9mm

Anyone shoot one yet ?
Or what do you think about gun

Never heard of it. Went to their website and had a good laugh at all the ridiculous buzzwords and tacticool phrases all over it.

Most of their boasts ring hollow, such as this:

The Company's flagship pistol, the TYPE B, is based on its ground breaking AF-Speedlock technology which represents the company’s commitment to redefining industry standards by driving a new level of technology, performance, ergonomics, and functionality never seen before.

So I search for this majikal AF-Speedlock technology and end up at the Arsenal Firearms website looking at a pistol that looks identical to it:
https://arsenalfirearms.eu/en/strykb/ and figure out that AF-Speedlock is basically a rotating lockup barrel. Gee, something Beretta has been doing for decades.....so much for ground breaking.

I think I'm gonna pass until this thing sets the USPSA or IPSC worlds on fire. Which means I'll likely never buy one.

From what I understand, the Arsenal Stryke B became the Archon Type B in the US. Same gun. Before that, it was the Strike One.

What does this offer against, say, a Glock 17?

Not sure where you're getting a rotating barrel from, but the Archon Type B doesn't have a rotating barrel at all, neither does the Stryk.

I've shot it, but only with a few silencers on the front. It ran with no malfunctions over the course of 500rds of 5 different ammo types. Pretty accurate with a decent trigger, the sights aren't my type but they use the standard Glock dovetail so they're easy to switch out. I like that it comes with 4 Mec Gar magazines and the way the checkering pattern is done on the grip.

Whatever, their technical description isn't very clear anyway. Not that I care that much. It's dumb vaporware that won't go far in this country.

Their technical description is very clear if you would have bothered to look into it at all. And it's not vaporware either, they're available if you were to want one. It seems like you care an awful lot for a guy that claims not to care.

Do you sell them? To people who actually shoot?

What does this offer against, say, a Glock 17?

For starters, a $849 price tag on Rainier. It has my curiosity up, but I will not be an early adopter.

At that price I'll be a never-adopter
