Bought one recently for my birthday, only gripe I have is the 2023 besides the PL, other than that I really like it a lot. After I oiled the internals and greased the slide, it racks like butter, really well machined pistol.
@@GBGuns I know, but if you look at the first batch that came in, they only had the PL and the crest alone, its just aesthetics anyways keep up the goodwork!
I'm glad you described the "beavertail" as not tacticool. That feature makes it look as though muzzle flip may be an issue. I hope the metal frame and beefy spring mitigate what looks like a flippy firearm. Interesting review as always, can't wait for the what's for dinner with this; I'm sure that I will learn why you desired this particular gun.
I remember when I first stumbled on these (on the interwebs) and was eager for someone like GB to get their hands on one. Its definitely odd but I think its cool.
And thank YOU for years of good reports! You are still the most USEFUL gun channel on the toob! I too like unusual guns, and just wish that I could afford this one easily. The one that I miss the most: the Daewoo DP51 9mm (K-5); it is the PERFECT pistol for my hand, astoundingly accurate, and originally was an inexpensive, lightweight bargain...........................elsullo
@@jepslife420 Yes. As we're one of the only channels to ever give them much attention, and have covered the four rpevious models they were going to get one to us "in a few weeks" as of last January.
Excellent explanation on this firearm. Thanks for sharing. I love the look and all metal frame, but they are asking way too much money for 9mm combat pistol. I thought about grabbing one but for $1000 I'd rather invest that kind of money into Sig MCX, Spear or aimpoint, trijicon or thermal sight.
12:00 very good, the decocker doesn't leave the hammer against small parts (like on my taurus), after decocking the hammer rests against the slide. VIS 35 also have an interesting decocker. Most designers just ignore lessons from the past.
Radom made pistols in the past that basically copied the fire control from an early Beretta 92 verbatim. With Vis.100 they build upon that heritage and make it more of their own with the frame-mounted decocker. Personally I'm fully onboard with this, but the space used by the DA/SA mechanism is largely what accounts for the slide sitting so tall above the grip, as well as the CZ-82 style of the trigger guard (or should I say Gen3 Smith style perhaps).
I have been too! Maybe it's just the way my mind works, but the few videos I've seen on it don't follow any protocol and so I don't know how to assess the pistol.
Born and raised in Poland. Radom, the town it's made in, is subject of several jokes (the most boring town in the country). That being said, I'd love to have it in my collection. I'm not worried about quality. As much as I love America unconditionally, average quality from Poland means upscale quality in the USA.
Hi. Iam from PL. This is refresh of old design MAG95 and 98 pistol from military trials. Now FB radom release first polimer piatol ,,MPS" (soon). It will be modular like Army Sig. Good movie. Regards
Very nice looking I like it, similar take down as on my Polish Mag-95. Nice to see the Polish Eagle on this model too just like my Mag-95and P-83 handgun.
Very Interesting, esp being Optics Ready....Until you get to the price. An Arex Zero 2s...(Optics Ready when they become available) is the BEST Pistol No One Knows about! My Range Review goes live this Saturday.
I will pick this over glocks, HKs, Sigs and all polymer framed pistols. This is certainly a high quality product when compared to plastic made pistols.
Oh man that "high end model" comment brought back a flood of memories building scale models as a teenager and every once in a while stumbling into a "holy $*&% what did I buy?" kit.
@@scaleworksRC Hahaha, I know what you mean! I was super excited about a Katyusha kit only to open the box and find the instructions were all words and written in Russian (a few years later I learned Russian, but never built the model)
As a big fan of all metal guns myself.... I don't see myself spending that much on one of these. Looks almost like they started with a high-power and made the grip lower instead of giving it a longer beaver tail. Looks to me like it would be a fairly flippy gun. That being said....still absolutely want to shoot one.
@@GBGuns It definitely looks nicer overall in comparison. It also reminds me of the Lionheart industries firearms. I don't think the price is terrible either, especially if you look at the market for full steel sa/da handguns.
@@GBGuns My silly hick brain is limited on vocabulary sometimes. Sometimes I use steel synonymously with metal as if it's the only metal out there. My apologies XD Love your content.
I can see its VIS 35 (arguably one of the best pistols of WW2) roots. Mixture of old and new. I don't need or want it, but I believe it will serve Poland well.
I'm not one to generally get too worked up about bore axis height, but I'm thinking about how high the red dot would be perched above my hand. Jumping back & forth between this and something like a Steyr would pose quite the training challenge. Unique, but probably won't nudge an Arex Zero 2 off my DA/SA wish list.
@@GBGuns ah I did not know! I have an XDM Elite (which is DA), which comes with a flat trigger. The trigger is really comfortable for me, but it was designed from the jump for a flat trigger.
@@drewbydoobydoo2918 The XDM Elite is also striker-fired and although it might be a partially-cocked striker (though I thought they were fully-cocked) it's not a true double action.
@@GBGuns It is a fully-cocked striker. That is very interesting, I didn't know it is not a true double-action. Thanks for the info, I'll have to follow your channel amd watch your video on it for more!
Atlantic is k ow for having the guns few others do. They're selling these at about the same price as the importer; that's called a loss considering they have to buy and handle them to sell them.
It does have an odd aesthetic, I was trying to figure that out, thinking it's that the pistol is long for how thin it is. Once I put the other grip pannels on (later in the video) it looks more normal.
@@GBGuns it's not derogatory until people make everything derogatory. It comes from assimilated variations of "polish male" and is only take derogatory if you twist the fact that it is an ethnic descriptor of place of origin. God forbid you call someone an American or *gasp* a Scot! From, a Polack.

Bought one recently for my birthday, only gripe I have is the 2023 besides the PL, other than that I really like it a lot. After I oiled the internals and greased the slide, it racks like butter, really well machined pistol.
I believe that marking is the year of manufacture.
@@GBGuns I know, but if you look at the first batch that came in, they only had the PL and the crest alone, its just aesthetics anyways keep up the goodwork!
Other then the military collector I dont know who's spending this much on a FB handgun. Thanks for the overview though.
Wow. Very nice looking handgun. I can't wait for the shooting impressions. Thank you, GB!

Interesting review as always, can't wait for the what's for dinner with this; I'm sure that I will learn why you desired this particular gun.
During the Shooting Impressions video (because we film from the very first shot with a gun) I learned to adapt my grip to counter some of that flip.
@@GBGuns Can't wait to see that, thank you.
I remember when I first stumbled on these (on the interwebs) and was eager for someone like GB to get their hands on one. Its definitely odd but I think its cool.
Odd but cool is my specialty!
@@GBGuns Someone has to fill that niche, and I personally think you're the right man for the job.

Iionheart is making that pistol its called the lh 9😊
The LH9 was replaced by the Regulus Alphaand Beta which was replaced by the Regulus Blackout which is being replaced by another model, lol
@@GBGuns , correct the new one is called vulcan i believe being released this summer
@@jepslife420 Yes. As we're one of the only channels to ever give them much attention, and have covered the four rpevious models they were going to get one to us "in a few weeks" as of last January.
@@GBGuns yes and they become more expensive with each iteration lol
Very interesting gun , I like the all metal guns as a collector . I really am interested in the range vid and the 'what's for dinner ".. Enjoyed ! 👍👍

It is cool. I think your assessments are correct.
Thanks for introducing it to me
Reminds me of a Bersa TPR and a Beretta 92. Interesting firearm.
Radom made pistols in the past that basically copied the fire control from an early Beretta 92 verbatim. With Vis.100 they build upon that heritage and make it more of their own with the frame-mounted decocker. Personally I'm fully onboard with this, but the space used by the DA/SA mechanism is largely what accounts for the slide sitting so tall above the grip, as well as the CZ-82 style of the trigger guard (or should I say Gen3 Smith style perhaps).
I see a resemblance with even my first gen Smith model 59
My cz 82 is flattered by your reference. 😂
Reminds me of my Lionheart pistol. Which is copy kinda of model 59 smith. Interesting.
I've been wondering about this pistol thanks for the review.
I have been too! Maybe it's just the way my mind works, but the few videos I've seen on it don't follow any protocol and so I don't know how to assess the pistol.
Born and raised in Poland. Radom, the town it's made in, is subject of several jokes (the most boring town in the country). That being said, I'd love to have it in my collection.

Thank you for sharing this information. If the prices decrease we may purchase one. 🙏
Poland makes very high quality stuff.

Very cool
So excited to see another gun from Poland I can actually own
Very nice looking I like it, similar take down as on my Polish Mag-95. Nice to see the Polish Eagle on this model too just like my Mag-95and P-83 handgun.
Really hoping another batch of those Cobalt ones come into the country at some point, I missed out on the first batch.
I like it for some reason. Needs better texture on the grips.
Was it too slippery for you?
Very Interesting, esp being Optics Ready....Until you get to the price. An Arex Zero 2s...(Optics Ready when they become available) is the BEST Pistol No One Knows about! My Range Review goes live this Saturday.
I really want one but holding out for the optics ready one
@@asiansrule45 I get that, maybe GB can get an ETA on them. Check out My range review and his for dinner testing too
I will pick this over glocks, HKs, Sigs and all polymer framed pistols. This is certainly a high quality product when compared to plastic made pistols.
I like the look of that firearm
Reminds me of a modern take on the Ruger P series of pistols from the late 90's early 2000's
I like the manual format. It reminds me of a car's manual or a high end model kit, and that's ok.
Oh man that "high end model" comment brought back a flood of memories building scale models as a teenager and every once in a while stumbling into a "holy $*&% what did I buy?" kit.
@@GBGuns 😆 good times. Mine was the level 4 F-14 that I thought I was smart enough to build. Nope.
@@scaleworksRC Hahaha, I know what you mean! I was super excited about a Katyusha kit only to open the box and find the instructions were all words and written in Russian (a few years later I learned Russian, but never built the model)
@@GBGuns nice! I dabbled in Russian but couldn't grasp it.
As a big fan of all metal guns myself.... I don't see myself spending that much on one of these. Looks almost like they started with a high-power and made the grip lower instead of giving it a longer beaver tail. Looks to me like it would be a fairly flippy gun. That being said....still absolutely want to shoot one.
Reminds me of the Turkish Tisas Zigana K pistols. I believe you reviewed several of them years ago.
Yes, a but like that but thinner and a frame-mounted decocker
@@GBGuns It definitely looks nicer overall in comparison. It also reminds me of the Lionheart industries firearms. I don't think the price is terrible either, especially if you look at the market for full steel sa/da handguns.
Agreed. I believe this is an aluminum frame, but machining is machining when it comes to production cost.
@@GBGuns My silly hick brain is limited on vocabulary sometimes. Sometimes I use steel synonymously with metal as if it's the only metal out there. My apologies XD Love your content.
@@S.A.Masquerade no worries, I just wanted to make sure you understood this wasn't a steel frame.
I can see its VIS 35 (arguably one of the best pistols of WW2) roots. Mixture of old and new. I don't need or want it, but I believe it will serve Poland well.
I think at least part of the reason it looks a bit odd is the diagonal trigger guard.
I own one of the first ones in the US. My front fiber optic sight jettisoned after the 3rd round…
Please do a review on the new FN Reflex micro compact pistol.
I'm not one to generally get too worked up about bore axis height, but I'm thinking about how high the red dot would be perched above my hand. Jumping back & forth between this and something like a Steyr would pose quite the training challenge.
Unique, but probably won't nudge an Arex Zero 2 off my DA/SA wish list.
This is a pretty normal bore axis for a DA/SA. Bore axis doesn't even matter anyway, I don't know why people get so worked up over it.
is this comprable to a G48? size size? looks slim!
This thing looks cool. If I could afford it in the first place, I'd probably add a flat trigger
Flat triggers on DA/SA guns are tricky; they can end up way too far forward on the double action pull.
@@GBGuns ah I did not know! I have an XDM Elite (which is DA), which comes with a flat trigger. The trigger is really comfortable for me, but it was designed from the jump for a flat trigger.

🙌🔥🙌
It looks like a more giraffey version of a S&W Model 59
"Giraffey" 😆
Thanks GB. Great job. Good info. God bless.
LETS GO BRANDON
Uh, so what do YOU think that slogan means exactly?...........................elsullo
Is the slide really big/tall or is it just me?
🤔🤔🤨you’re right
Glove fluff sounds scary lol
Like it and will buy one
I would get a Bersa TPR9 for less than half the price.
Interesting piece but the price is to much for what it is.
I like it but the price is a bit steep
Atlantic is known to be high on prices. They're definitely making a nice profit on these.
Atlantic is k ow for having the guns few others do. They're selling these at about the same price as the importer; that's called a loss considering they have to buy and handle them to sell them.
I see the optics platform and fiber optics, but it still looks very 1980s.
Looks like a remake. Of A S&W 5906. That Price. Pass Pass and Pass
1000$ no.... No, no, no
oh wow ... a Bersa Clone
The essential design is similar, but where Bersa went fat the FB Radom went skinny.
As a Vis-35 owner I am disappointed in this fugly ambi thing.
w skrócie gówno nie pistolet :(
$1k for that. Nope.
Means nothing but why does this look like a 5 year old drew a gun from memory. Like a video game rough draft design trying to avoid copy right.
It does have an odd aesthetic, I was trying to figure that out, thinking it's that the pistol is long for how thin it is. Once I put the other grip pannels on (later in the video) it looks more normal.
“Polock friends?” Do you refer to all of your friends with a derogatory name? I say this in jest (kinda)
How is that derogatory?
@@GBGuns it's not derogatory until people make everything derogatory. It comes from assimilated variations of "polish male" and is only take derogatory if you twist the fact that it is an ethnic descriptor of place of origin. God forbid you call someone an American or *gasp* a Scot! From, a Polack.
@@GBGuns I grew up in a Polish part of New Jersey. I’m half Polish as well. The term “Polock” was always used as an insult. I was only kidding. I still use it myself.
I refer to myself as a "Kraut". Words like that only have the meaning you give them.
@@GBGuns agreed, good sir.
looks cool but the Arex Zero kinda already fills this role of a da/sa steel gun withand optic cut and has available mags
After a few days I think this looks like a combat S&W 5906
