Arsenal Strike One: Russian Police Pistol Comes to the West
The Arsenal Strike One Speed, a Russian-designed pistol, features a unique AF Speed Lock system with a vertically traveling block for a low bore axis and reduced recoil. Despite its innovative design, its adoption in Russia was hindered by a bribery scandal, leading to its pivot to the international market under brands like Arsenal Firearms and Archon. Range testing revealed excellent recoil management and a fast return to target, though initial feeding hiccups were noted.
