About the Gun

Archon’s Type B pistol is the successor to the Strike One introduced in 2012 by the Russian-Italian joint venture Arsenal Firearms. It is a striker-fired, polymer-gripped gun featuring a novel non-tilting-barrel action, in our opinion somewhat similar to the Beretta 92 where the barrel itself moves horizontally during recoil while a breech locking block moves up and down engaging and disengaging the slide. The gun is manufactured at RUAG Ammotec's plants in Germany and Hungary. Features include unique grip stippling, integrated flared magwell, a flat-faced aluminum trigger and a low-bore axis.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was introduced along with the Luger semi-automatic pistol. The pistol and cartridge was first adopted by the German Navy in 1904 and then by the German Army in 1908. This cartridge has since been adopted by the military of practically every non-Communist power. It has become the most popular and widely-used handgun cartridge in the world. Performance wise, the 9 mm cartridge has somewhat more power than the .38 Special but falls well short of the .357 Magnum.
