Archon Firearms Type B First Look!

This video reviews six new 2026 handguns that blend classic steel construction with modern features. It highlights the Springfield Armory Garrison Target 1911 for its classic accuracy, the Gerson Witness 2311 SC9 XXX for its affordable double-stack 1911 design, the Glock 17 Gen 6 for its improved ergonomics and optics mounting, the Springfield Armory SA35 for its compact P35-inspired steel frame, the SIG Sauer P365 Fuse Comp for its slim, high-capacity, compensated design, and the Ross Martin RM 1F Tactical for its value-packed budget tactical offering. The review emphasizes variety in the market, moving beyond solely black striker-fired pistols.

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.

This review of the H&K VP9L highlights its accuracy and ergonomics, noting it as an underrated firearm. While the trigger is crisp, its speed for rapid fire is debated among testers. The pistol demonstrates excellent grouping at 100 yards, and the adjustable grip panels offer significant customization. Ammunition testing suggests 124-grain is optimal for recoil management.

This video provides a review of the American Performance Firearms (APF) Strike One Speed pistol, highlighting its unique non-tilting barrel action, which contributes to smooth cycling. The reviewer, Tia, discusses the pistol's ergonomics, trigger feel, and sights, comparing it to previous Strike One and Archon Type B models. While generally positive about the shooting experience, she notes some aspects of the trigger and grip texture.

This review of the Archon Type B 9mm pistol highlights its distinctive design and performance. The presenter, Lieutenant Colonel nutnfancy, emphasizes the pistol's 'in your face' approach, comparing it to a bold F-4 Phantom paint scheme. Key features discussed include its low bore axis, unique grip texture, and the AF Speed Lock action. While praising its flat shooting characteristics and good grip, the review notes its higher price point, chassis construction adding weight, and a trigger with a long take-up that might slap the finger. Despite these points, the presenter concludes it's a recommendable, well-made pistol for those seeking something different.

This video features Ben Stoeger discussing his experiences with the Walther PDP Steel Frame Pro and its polymer counterpart. While acknowledging the PDP Steel Frame Pro as a well-built gun, Stoeger expresses a personal disconnect, finding he has to work harder to achieve the same results compared to other firearms. He elaborates on how aggressive ergonomic shaping, like palm swells, can sometimes hinder a consistent grip for faster shooting, contrasting it with the simpler grip of a Glock. The discussion also touches on the perceived 'snappiness' of the PDP compared to other pistols.
