- The Archon Type B. A gun I've wanted to get my hands on since it first came out. It's an odd beast, filled with lots of unique features. Some of the features I love and find very effective, and some, while I find cool, don't necessarily add a ton of value to the gun. Curious to hear your thoughts.

Sir you gotta put close up footage of these guns man, you know when youre describing it while lookin at the gun, we wanna look at it too. You know how you lean forward to look closer when youre in a gun store? Yeah like that. Great review by the way.
+1 on that! If not footage then just pictures but something more detailed.
Can confirm 👍
"Some mush, just very soft mush..."
Excellent description.
I know mush very well
Hey man I’m not sure why your channel doesn’t have more subscribers, you’re a very “real” reviewer and not trying to appease the masses. I wish you the best of luck and more subs cheers man keep making great videos 👍
Thanks man, channel is having nice growth over the last 6 months. Appreciate the support!
This trigger description is spot on. I don't feel or notice the tendin activator when I shot. The grip texture, honestly I wish it was more aggressive. I love this gun more than my glock and its my new carry. For now!
Yea man, the grip tendon I could live without. And that grip but more aggressive would be killer
Looks solid and at about the same price point as buying a Glock and fixing sights/trigger/stipling as you mentioned. I had no idea there was any exaggerated marketing, so whether or not it lives up to that hype isn't a factor. Thanks for the review!
You bet
I have both the Archon Type B and the Salient Arms Strike One Tier One and they are my two favorite guns !!!!!
Awesome
jerry evans what are the differences between Teheran two? I know they are almost/basically the same.
@@J.Young808 one is about the size of a Glock 19 the other is about the size of a Glock 17.
Good review. Have to respectfully disagree with the Glock comparison. I’ve found it to be flatter shooting, sights definitely track easier. Get the slide cut for a dot and your good to go.
And if we could all respectfully disagree imagine how great life would be right now haha
Idk. Dude kind of reminds me of Talon Sei. Constantly talks about how humble they are, but if you actually watch their videos, they’re pretty big gun snobs.
I soent some time with one of these and really like the way it shoots. The deal breaker for me is when running it fast I always pinch my palm when doing mag changes.
I rented one at TNT yesterday. Put 50 rounds through it, and didn't notice the tendon dig until after I was done shooting it. It was still pretty sweet to shoot.
Yep, and good range
Excellent review, absolutely the same way I fill about it!!
Right on
just a thought, perhaps show close ups so we can, you know, actually see the dam gun. also a black gun with a black back ground [ your black jacket ] not good, but that's just me.
I have the strike one, original Archon B and it is an amazing gun with low recoil and very accurate !! Great competition gun out of the box.
Yep
Thanks for the review been wanting this!!!
Then my day is complete
1911 Syndicate you sir is A+ in my books. Keep it up.
Once again. Very niiiiice
We're nice people
The only way to get a lower bore axis than this is to spend $ 5,000 on a Laugo Alien. So that 900 msrp doesnt look so bad now does it ?
I like fiber optic, in a night setting with a light your not going to see anything but the outline of the sight regardless. If your not using a light your not shooting at night. However in low light with no flashlight a tritium sight would be great.
All that and you never mentioned the AF speed lock system,the only thing that sets it apart!?!?
I’ve shot one before. They look dope, but that little protrusion on the back of the grip you mentioned...it digs into the web of my hand / thumb. For me and my grip, it made it painful to shoot. Thanks for the review.
Interesting, yea I'd be cool if it wasn't there
I have two archons and I’ve shot them for close to two years. I’v cut the beaver tail off on both, and one of them has talon pro grip on it. Both have red dots. I cut the beaver tail off because of the way I pull the gun from my holster beaver tails just get in the way for me. Aside from that I liked the beaver tail. I think personally it feels flatter than a Glock. The trigger does feel mushy but the trigger is great feeling. The safety built into the trigger works like a rocker rather than an extra thorn digging into your finger. The way the trigger works is my favorite part, the way the striker works is my least. The mag release being able to be reversed by inserting the magazine backwards is a gimmick and a flaw in my opinion. I’ve inserted a mag backwards once in a training course. I tried to correct the issue quickly and the release didn’t fall out it got logged and I couldn’t even insert a mag and hold it in place. I ended up needing to use a punch to get it un fked. Glocks are better for a multitude of reasons but I carry my archon because I shoot it better, like it more and it’s aesthetically pleasing. Another thing the archon has too many parts glocks are the superior gun in my opinion. But archon is doing something right, I love these guns and I’m hoping for a gen 2 with improvements. My first pistol, my main is nearing the 5k mark for rounds.
I'm not sure if it's in full production yet but the lougo alien is as far as I know the absolute lowest bore axis on a pistol. The recoil assembly is actually above the barrel. It was shown off at shot show.
Would love to get the chance to shoot one
@@1911syndicate me too
What advantages to Tritium sights give? I don't see much if any added value for the added cost and bulk. Fibers offer more benefit and tend to give you a narrower front sight.
cuz they glow in the dark
@@Noah-mk8wf Does you zero good if you can’t see what you’re shooting at. So, when you activate your light to see what your looking at the sights turn into black squares rendering the tritium useless.
@@Brayden-P I get what you’re saying but tritium sights could still be useful if you’re in a dark enough area to where you can see outlines fine enough, yet it’s not quite bright enough for your fiber optic to shine
@@Noah-mk8wf You can't and shouldn't shoot at an outline. If you can only see outlines, you need a source of light. We can't assume that it's going to be dark enough to see our tritium sights and yet light enough to see the threat. That total time accounts for less than 5% of the total day. The other 95% of the time the tritium is useless.
Hope you can get a Zev OZ9 in your hands!
Would love to, just a matter of if Zev would
Wish you could get it with a red dot mount and suppressor night height sights...
Rain 6 does that
You can get it with an rmr or aimpoint cut now but no suppressors sights you’d need to get them yourself.
Who’s the model in their videos?
Good review
Well thanks
If I could get my hands on any niche pistol on earth, it would be the Laugo Alien. I expect THAT would be a fairly different shooting experience.
They are yet to respond to my request lol
@@1911syndicate #shocked lol
It better be for 5 grand .
Wat caliber is this a 9 mm or ? If anyone can tell me
Hello 911Syndicate, what a review, what a review !
I wonder if that gorgeous blond model/ actress in the bikini swim suit was freezing out there while the Director was wearing Arc’Teryx $400.00 softshell jacket? Keep up the good work. Peace bro.
We do what we have to do
I think they moved production to Italy from Russia due to sanctions, then Germany with Hungarian sub contract for quality. Some shits like that.
Those were the older models I think, Hungary made the slide and the frame was made in Germany, and they had issues along the way they were mixed, but was still solid, as of now on their website it shows that the entire handgun is now made in Germany, the Baltimore on the bolt or on the slide is probably a distributor
No one like "night sights" because their inherent advantage comes from a very small time frame of the day and at a cost of less precise point of aim. If its actual pitch black shooting night sights will make zero difference as the biggest advantage you can have will be a good weapon light and you shouldn't be shooting without positive ID anyways. The people who like them the most are tactical goobers who need a placebo and won't just buy an outright pistol RDS.
Laugo Alien has the lowest bore axis but I’m not sure if it’s considered a production gun
Definitely not one many people can afford
Also costs $3k more than the Archon Type B.
So what you are saying is if under stress you jam the mag in backwards the mag release will fall out and make the gun useless
Not useless pick that magazine off the ground and hold it in with your hand. I own two archons and the mag release is gimmicky.
🇺🇸 4:58 You hurt the grip texture’s feelings!
Not my fault
Bore axis be low.
(Not so) funny thing is that you can’t buy this in Hungary, even though it has parts made here. Too bad as I was interested to try this one.
Ahhh bummer
When I saw this handgun I thought it was a German made futuristic Glock, the gun looks sick, I too am thinking about buying one and looking into it to make sure that I’m making a decent choice for this handgun
About the handgun, the handgun is fully made in Germany, the Hungarians just made the slide, but I think those were older models cause on their website as of now they show German on the frame and slide , the notch or what ever the fuck is called it still shows Baltimore, could be just the distributor who knows
Yeah, B-more marked because wver since the 1968 GCA imports gotta be marked with the importer- whether its a third party or the manufacturer's us branch.
Strike one > Stryke B but the stryke b is still cool. Wait time really gave the pistol a rough start.
Correct
I dry fired this thing. Very weird trigger... Is the trigger also weird in live fire?
Really? I loved it
I like my trigger too".
I've been trying to find one of these for so long. Cant find these things anywhere
Allegedly they’re releasing a new one
@@1911syndicate aren't they still in production, I don't know why they'd stop seeing how everyone wants one
CZ has a low bore axis for a DASA. Not in general. Glocks, M&P’s, and the like blow CZ 75’s out of the water on bore axis, and so does this gun.
Yeah but the triggers no where neat as nice as a CZ75 , not as accurate, and theyre much lighter so they recoilmore because pistolweight teumps bore axis in terms of felt recoil. I have shot an IMI Jericho 941 back to back with a glock the Jericho weighs 37 oz the glock was about 24 . The jericho felt like shooting a 22 in comparison
I forget Chris isn’t around yet Lol 😂
I got one of those. Favorite pistol to shoot. Would never carry it.
How come?
Yea why not?
@@chrispatterson8210 it dose nothing for me that the fat baby 26 can't do, and the beaver tail pokes me in the gut when I sit down
@@1911syndicate pokes my gut when I sit, g26 fat baby is still it. Factory burnt bronze slide, I'll take $750 for it
What part of Utah do you sell houses in?
Pretty much any where in the state
How is Utah for non-LDS?
only thing it needed was an optics cut
Lol I never saw the trailer or even heard of this gun so when I saw it and shit it I was like oh its a fancy glock. After shooting it I was like, it's a better shooting glock but not really special. I'm not knocking it I really like this gun and I've had to do nothing.
Luago alien has lower bore axis.
Ahhh yes. Just not cheap
I shot one, and... it felt like A gun. It didn't feel special, I didn't feel anything. Was it better than my stock Glock 19x? Yeah, but I also don't really love that Glock, it was just... another striker fired pistol. Not a bad thing, not a bad gun, but after shooting it, Eh.
low bore access
I would like your videos more if you just left that intro music on the entire time and just did a voice over with the shooting b roll, a bit like the honest outlaw, but with background music that’s nice and chill
Not all of the videos of course, but just a few would be nice
Almost like the Cabot Nero video we put out. Honestly, I consume almost no one else's content so we just kinda make it up as we go
Lost me at $900 (but great review!)
yea put the mag in backwards and see what happens. Mag release falls out.Not only did you waste time by putting the mag in wrong but now theres nothing holding it in there when you get it right. and if you need it now?
Why would you put the mag in backwards. I've never once done that
@@1911syndicate How many shootings have you been in where you had to grab a mag that wasnt perfectly placed in a holster?
You just need more range time with it, bro. Relax, you're talking like a damn traffic cop: the same company that manufactures Geco ammunition manufactures the Archon Type B. Archon Firearms is a subsidiary of RUAG Holdings, a Swiss company specializing in aerospace engineering and the defense industry. Its headquarters are located in Bern, while it also has numerous production sites in Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Austria and the United States. They build everything from aircraft to rockets to armored cars to guns and ammunition. Think of RUAG as the Lockheed Martin/Northrup Grumman of Europe. They're definitely not a fly-by-night, here today, gone tomorrow outfit. Enjoyable review overall and appreciate your sense of humor. Come to Baltimore. I'll teach you how to eat steamed crabs the Maryland-way. Crab cakes are for twats.
Seems gimmicky to me. I love that they're trying to innovate, but it doesn't seem as revolutionary as they wanted it to be.
Facts
Overall I think that's fair
Could get a CZ P01 instead and save. $500 or even better a P01 custom shop for $1200...
Algorithm.
Shooting this pistol hurt the web of my hand. Not pleasant at all to shoot.
