This video explores the effectiveness of low bore axis pistols, comparing the Archon Type B and Daniel Defense H9 against standard models like the Glock Gen 6. The presenter, an experienced shooter, analyzes how different bore axis heights and internal mechanisms (like the Archon's AF Speed Lock and the H9's 1911-style recoil spring) affect recoil impulse, muzzle flip, and follow-up shot speed. While low bore axis designs aim to redirect recoil energy, their actual impact varies, with compensators like the Radian Ram Jet proving highly effective in recoil reduction.
The Archon Type B Gen 2 is a highly modular 9mm handgun praised for its pointability and flat shooting characteristics, even without a compensator. Its AF Speed Lock system contributes to an ultra-low bore axis, enhancing control and follow-up shots. The pistol offers extensive customization through interchangeable backstraps and magazine wells, allowing it to adapt for concealed carry, competition, or general-purpose use. The RMR/RMSC cut slide is a key feature, though optic mounting requires attention to screw length and thread pitch.
