It offers significant modularity, including interchangeable grip backstraps for various hand sizes and magazine capacities (12, 15, 18 rounds), and an ambidextrous magazine release that can be easily swapped. The pistol also boasts direct optic cuts for popular red dot sights and Glock-pattern sights.
The Archon Type B Gen 2 is a polymer pistol praised for its exceptionally low recoil and fast shooting capability, attributed to its unique AF-Speedlock system and low bore axis.
