Regular readers know I’m a big fan of pistols with a limbo low bore axis. As our man Foghorn explained, “bore axis refers to the relationship between the barrel of the handgun and the shooter’s hand — ‘high’ bore axis means that the barrel is positioned well above the top of the hand and ‘low’ bore axis means that it’s closer.” The benefit: less muzzle flip. More easily achievable accuracy. Enter the new Arsenal Stryk B. Whoops . . .
I mean Archon Strike B.
Thanks to a trademark kerfuffle, Arsenal has changed their name to Archon, which they’d like you to pronounce [get your] Ark On. “Unfortunately, the rename does require manufacturing new slides with updated markings,” Archon Firearms CEO, Adrian Chavez admits, “as well as the reissue of an ATF-required marking variance, so some delay is inevitable and we now expect to launch in late spring.”
Well that sucks. As the proud former owner of the Stryk B — since sold to a competition shooter — I reckon the new pistol could be a major hit. Although the “lowest bore axis of any pistol in the world” claim in the video above becomes “one of the lowest bore axis in the modern pistol market” in the company’s ammoland.com press release. Which goes a little like this:
About the Archon Firearms Type B Pistol
Developed in Italy, manufactured in the European Union, and designed specifically to fulfill the preferences and highest expectations of the U.S. market, the Type B represents a new class of compact, polymer grip, striker-fired handgun, and features an extremely low bore axis and unique recoil-reducing mechanical design boasting improved accuracy over conventional pistols. A number of features preferred by American shooters—which would typically require expensive customization—have been integrated into the Type B’s design.
The main advantages for the buyer: First there is the straight trigger with shortened reset for precise shooting. But the main difference to all other polymer pistols is one of the lowest bore axis in the modern pistol market. The technical construction of the innovative STRYK B pistol is specifically designed for sport shooters, home defense or for duty and guarantees highest accuracy in a fast rate of fire. This model is also a good choice for concealed carry.
The STRYK B pistol is equipped with the unique AF-Speedlock, which ensures that the handgun’s 4.3-inch barrel cycles in a straight line from front to rear without tilting. The weapon is locked by vertical movement of the locking block, which is not firmly attached to the barrel. Advantages of the technical construction of the STRYK B pistol:
AF-Speedlock prevents tilting of the barrel
The pistol has a reduced recoil
The pistol produces less muzzle flip
Again, Good to know what your enemy’s up to, but “the bustle” is a liberal group that I think got it’s start, or now deals in lite pornography.
Moe women with guns will change the gun culture???
No. It’s not going to change why most people have / enjoy guns.
It might add a layer, but that would be saying it ain’t already done that.
I attribute this article to “writers gotta write sh_t” and to “stupid writers gotta write stupid sh_t”. This article is at least one of those two.
Did you forget the rest of the article somewhere?
“I have nothing to hide” is the dumbest statement any free man has ever made in his life. You may not have anything to hide, but you do have a lot to protect, among which is the United States Constitution. I had an FFL back before I found out where the bodies are buried, and I got out when I found out that contrary to what it says here, the ATF can and will demand to inspect your inventory any time day or night if you publish any information whatever critical of the most powerful illegal gun control organization in the world, the ATF. The federal government is not delegated the Constitutional authority to license firearm dealers, let alone demand customers waive their 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th, and 10th Amendment rights in order to receive revocable government permission to keep and bear arms. If you don’t believe that, look up the word SEARCH in the 4th Amendment and think about Forms 4473 and NICS. Look up the words DUE PROCESS in the 5th Amendment and think about your 2nd Amendment right being taken and converted to a government-issued privilege, and your private information on government databases (your ‘papers and effects’) being searched. Think about your right to be secure from being compelled to waive a right in order to exercise a right, protected by the 9th Amendment. Think about your 10th Amendment right to be secure from the federal exercise of authority not delegated to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, and your 10th Amendment right to be secure from State exercise of authority PROHIBITED by the U.,S. Constitution (e.g., violation of the above rights).
Some simple facts. The federal government has no authority to issue FFLs or run a taxpayer-funded gun control organization like the ATF. State governments have the Police Power to regulate the USE of arms in the interests of public safety; they have no authority whatever to regulate the RIGHT to keep and bear arms.
And lastly, the background check scam has never prevented criminal access to a firearm in the history of the planet and was never intended to. It’s intent is to sucker citizens into waiving their 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th, and 10th Amendment rights in order to receive government permission government has no authority to issue or deny, so that when a future liberal administration decides to REVOKE the bogus permission issued at the point of sale, the citizen will have no rights left to claim in their defense.
It’s a bogus leftist theory they hope you won’t notice: Government has no authority to scam citizens out of their rights, either. But we’d better abolish the bogus background check scam now before push comes to shove, because the middle of a firefight is not the place to plead legal issues.
Take your wife or girlfriend shooting to introduce her, but how do you get her hooked?
Converting women to pro-gun could have a “yuuuge” impact on gun rights because women who run school PTAs even include their anti-gun messages in their emails (for example “are there guns or prescription meds at your child’s friends house?”)
Young children are very moldable, and teachers and the PTA mold them. (My kid’s school has only 2 male teachers and the PTA is referred to as the “mom club”). Women listen to women and women make most educational decisions for their kids; How do you get more women to open their minds?
Bandwidth is expensive. Must have not paid for the fast lane speeds.
Well, I was interested and then the article stopped.
How is disassembly?
Trigger weight?
I think I see a fully adjustable rear sight?
Not enough information.
Whats with the Brown Chicken, Brown Cow music in the first 30 seconds of the video? I kinda half expected the Hedge Hog to introduce the “lowest bore axis of any pistol in the world”
that music kind of reminds me of this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tZ31c3KYRY
Not surprisingly, this sort of rhinoplasty is not just
inexpensive, but fast. Then write the way it appears like for you and
be aware when you lay the cards in the market to learn more about yourself watching the method that you will discover the hidden lesson. You will soon recognize
similar movement patterns for many currency pairs.
And yet plenty of competitive shooters use the XD line.
The mental illness of the left wing media is on high display.
My “oldie” safe-queens are two S&W 1 1/2’s, both nickel plated, both with the 2 1/2″ barrel, one from 1870-something, one from 1880-something (I don’t have them in front of me to check) – I have a grand total of 4 of the .32 rimfire rounds they use. They both look “rough”, maybe 60% at best, although mechanically they both hold timing quite well. I always keep my peepers peeled, but it’s seriously difficult to find any .32 rimfire, for some reason…
Recall to put a blade safety in the trigger after they start selling and someone does a drop-test.
Anything full auto and suppressed so it’s, “Nose glowed so bright! “

It makes sense that she is a rabid anti gun hobbit. Makes it safer for her to shuffle around looking for unsuspecting victims!
“Question of the Day: What Gun for Santa?”
H’mmm.
Considering the altitude he reportedly flies at, I’d say a German 88mm anti-aircraft artillery gun should do the trick.
And thanks to that scrawny Rudolph’s bright red nose, getting a proper lead on the sleigh should be a snap…
*Snicker*… 😉
There’s an old saying about guns like that. They kill toward the front and cripple toward the rear.

i wish it was a video
So… they got the drop on her, and she still rolled the dice and drew… then didn’t shoot and (supposedly) took the time to tell them she had a permit to carry and would they kindly reholster and fuck off.
And they did?
Gutsy.
“So… they got the drop on her, and she still rolled the dice and drew…”
Had one similar here in Tampa 3 days back.
Robber hopped over the counter of a pawnshop named ‘City Pawn’ with *two* handguns, the shop owner drew and blew that POS away.
Don’t we just *love* these happy endings?
(There’s supposedly shop video of the event, if it gets released I’l post a link to it.)

In their mind the Left is using women as a weapon to disarm men. To them females don’t have guns. But if more girls and women learn to use guns and keep them, the Left will loose the argument.
That is why they are so afraid of a pro 2A woman.

A Ghost gun, for an imaginary man. Or a Super Soaker , cause that ought to frost his balls. But in reality all Santa really needs is a fully charged cell phone, with speed dial 9-1-1. Support your Local Law Enforcement… NLM
During the 22lr before the drought slowly acquired a good supply. Have a Ruger SR 22lr pistol and Bersa Thunder , Ruger LCR 22lr
Probably still have around 5,000.00 rounds left.
All are fun to shoot as long as you keep feed ramp squeaky clean! With LCR 22lr revolver, not picky about brand and doesn’t require as much cleaning just make sure ejection rod & ammo chambers is reasonably clean.
Good to hear 22lr back in supply
My boss got me a box of American Eagle 9mm for Christmas. Well, kind of. The rounds weren’t in their original box, and it wasn’t a full box of 50. No, each round was individually wrapped in a Tootsie Roll wrapper, and then stuffed in some small, random box. He said I only got as many bullets as he had Tootsie Rolls. I haven’t counted yet, but I’d guess the number to be about 30.
Practically, this is where things like The Open Government initiative, and data.gov are useful. When we can see what’s actually going on, “cronyism” becomes an observation, rather than a claim.
You’ll never persuade the unpersuadables on gun control, any more than you’ll shift the public position of paid shills, or grifters who’ve stumbled on the best con they’ll ever have.
You can shift some people in the persuadable middle: the facts make the case more than gun rights people claiming what will happen. And when anti-gun folks pinky-swore this would never happen, the discredit themselves a bit (more.)
And this hollow point .223 round, is my “Thank you,” gift to “nature.”
You’re welcome, pest.
