I bought one a week ago. I took her to the ranges with six different types of ammo/makers (400 rounds) and different grain bullet weight, and the Archon shot as fast, flat and accurate as you can ever get out of the box. I have owned a plethora of guns over the years and carried many as a lawman and SWAT TEAM leader. I also participated in four SWAT Olympics, so I understand the coemption aspect. I don't think you need a bunch of work done to most pistols as back in the 1990's my department made us carry a "New York Trigger" in our Glocks. Was about 12 lbs. i can tell you when the shit hits the fan you will not notice. I think we get finicky with all the add ons which, turn a really good gun into something we really don't need as much as want. I have been in actual shootings and the trigger pull was not noted before, during or after. I do have two beefs, one, the take down pin gets a mite warm when firing 100 rounds fast fire and lastly, the mag release did kinda suck. Not a mood killer and I took her home and lubed the dog crap out of it and worked her a bit and now, back on track as a carry pistol. Shoots and fells better than any Glock i ever owned and I have owned a peck of them in every caliber and configuration and attended the Glock armorer's course four times over the years as well as Colt and Sig courses. I fired at a 2 inch target at 15 yards. I thought I was missing the target a time or two and turns out I was putting rounds into the same holes!!! I am impressed with the Archon.
Good shooting - I did use the previous model, the Arsenal Stryk B, in an IPSC match a couple of years ago. It ran fine without a hickup. Luckily I was able to use my Beretta APX Ghost hybrid holster for the Stryk B! Despite being manufactured in Germany and Hungary at the time spare mags were hard to come by, even more so any spare parts. And if you use a gun in dynamic competition sports you will eventually run into the need for new springs - recoil trigger hammer sear striker spring, something might even break, and without such a support level any good-gun-design will unfortunately fail. Walther for example is selling boatloads of PDPs here but spare parts are really hard to come by. This support level is also a main reason for the success of CZ here (in Europe) because you get mags and any spare part almost overnight. Next comes Glock. Beretta offers good parts support through its Estore.
Nowadays Arsenal of Italy, a subsidiary of Tanfoglio, makes the Strike One and Ergal versions. At least in Italy spare parts, mags. etc. are available. So this particular gun's lock-up design for barrel and slide and its flat shooting characteristics will stay available some time longer.
Good job. Love the stick figures
Reloads solid indeed
Like mine, I had some pros and cons I listed for this gun in my videos.
I’ve seen several reviews of people saying the mag release was insanely stiff on these. Curious of your thoughts on this as it seems your reloads seem to be pretty on point.
My magazine release has not been stiff at all, however I initially found it to be kinda small and not very easy to depress without changing my grip. Those issues clearly turned out to not be significant problems though.
What safariland model holster was that? I didn't know they had one that fit the archon. Thanks in advance.
It is actually not a Safariland, it is a G-Code XSR Level 2.
