Arsenal Strike One Pistol Login/Join

I heard three or four years ago that this pistol was poised to take the handgun world by storm, much like the Glock did decades earlier. Strangely, I don't hear a lot about it. Does anybody own one/know someone who does, and if so, what are your/their thoughts on it? Anybody know why it hasn't really taken off?

Think they are made overseas and were looking for a distribution deal that fell through and later they were bought out by someone else.

Many companies reach a sweet spot in time. a few years ago may have been theirs. Mid '90s Sigs. Magnum research before they were bought out by Khar... Depends on who you ask.

Cassian had one in John Wick 2.

I've never seen one, but they have a hefty price tag

Thanks for the replies. I was just wondering if they were "the greatest thing since sliced bread" that they were purported to be when they went into production.

They were nice but Arsenal got sued for patent infringement IIRC and pulled them from the market. My local shop had several and I considered buying one.

Ah ha! I was RO'ing a match a month or so ago and someone was shooting one. I couldn't put a name with the face at the time. I was standing there thinking... "damn it, I know what that is..." but I'd be damned if I could think of it, total brain fart.

Wasn't this the one that was designed in Russia or Bulgaria but manufactured in Italy?

Either Russia or it was a joint Italian-Russian team. It was supposed to be the next world-beater of a Russian service pistol and Tanfoglio was going to sell them to the civilian market. That was back when you saw what I guess were the equivalent of 'concept vehicles' with 15" barrels and bipods.

I was looking for something else, and came across this over at TFB.

I thought salient bought them and was going to sell them under a different name.

From their website it looks like they bought the last of the "Strike One" branded versions to sell as slicked-up custom specials.

At over $2600 they can call it anything they want. I will brand it 'hideously overpriced'.

Well if Salient bought it, it's certainly not going to get any cheaper! LMAO

(though it might get uglier)

Unfortunately I don't think the pistol will ever see full importation or production in the US, it's been tossed around from company to company and even if it did so I doubt that will gain enough support. A good example is the CZ p10c that was marketed as the Glock killer and to this day its yet to make a dent on taking a large bite on the other striker fire handguns.

Still for sale up here for less than a grand Can$ (or about a buck fifty US lol) for the "regular" Strike One model, from a number of retailers. A more expensive version, Strike 1 Speed, as well as a compact version "Strike B", are also available - both for a couple hundred more. A relative has the older model and it's a heavy pistol with a decent, if long, trigger, soft shooting and seems accurate enough.

I have one of the Strike One's. It is very accurate and soft shooting. The trigger takes some getting used to. My problem is with the design of the magazine latch system. Every once in a while the magazine latch has to be adjusted or the magazines fall out. I am waiting on the next version called Archon Stryk B.

There is a less than great gun store near me that seems to always have a few in stock...along with every color of the rainbow LCP and SCCY...any kind of chromed or gold plated desert eagle you could want..you get the idea..l

I held one once....it’s interesting....not double the cost of a Glock 19 interesting
