Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Arsenal Strike One pistol's design unique?

The Arsenal Strike One is unique due to its extremely low bore axis, which significantly reduces muzzle rise and perceived recoil. It also features a non-Browning type locking mechanism that cams upwards for lockup, differing from traditional tilting barrel designs.

How does the Arsenal Strike One's trigger compare to other pistols?

The trigger on the Arsenal Strike One has a slightly spongy take-up, but it breaks crisply with a light let-off and a very short reset. This feel is often compared to the Walther PPQ, offering a good balance of control and responsiveness.

What are the advantages of the Arsenal Strike One's low bore axis?

A low bore axis means the barrel sits closer to the shooter's hand. This design feature helps to minimize muzzle flip and felt recoil, making follow-up shots faster and more controllable, similar to how a high-hand grip aids recoil management.

Can you explain the disassembly process for the Arsenal Strike One?

Disassembly involves ensuring the pistol is unloaded, dropping the striker by pulling the trigger, pushing a captive pin across the frame, and then pulling the trigger again to release the slide. The slide then moves forward off the frame rails.
