Arsenal Strike One

[himurax13]

Like the high beaver tail and low bore axis Seems to be almost $1000 after SSE transfer, DROS, tax...

Gotta pay to play, brah.

I am all for other people to spend their hard earned cash to try these out.

If spare parts and aftermarket is what you're looking for, why would you even be buying an HK? Just get a glock or cz.

I wholeheartedly agree.

If I should need repairs, I'd be sending it back all the way to Oklahoma. International Firearm Corporation. Already asked.

And then he sends it off to Italy or wherever.

Well, I am fortunate enough to own a glock and CZ.

Your claims against HK are, somewhat not based on reality. Google HK handgun repair and the results are extensive.

Google "Strike One handgun repair" and the first result you get is "Nerf Gun repair".

Anyways, we could go around and around and around ad naseum.

I am happy for anyone getting a Strike One. It looks to be a great gun. Six months ago I may have been in the market for one.

Is the bore axis that much lower than a glock? Those rear sights are a big draw back

It appears to be about 2-3mm lower than a glock.

Not sure if others have seen this, but this is probably a big part of why people know about, and are interested in, this pistol:

Interesting. This looks like an extreme advanced drill but it also looks like a great way to get someone hurt.

I think that's the point... the FSB Alpha Group isn't exactly risk-adverse... just sayin'... I am convinced they just have fewer lawyers in Mother Russia.

Well I would love to take that course, but I can't gaurantee that someone won't get hurt.

Where the gun will be serviced by the Arsenal trained gunsmith.

Got one, Shot it, not impressed

Remember reading about this pistol a few years ago, about how the Russian special forces' new pistol with non-tilting barrel and low bore axis. A new concept in recoil operated pistol! Was thinking it will never show up in US let alone in CA. Well, guess what, its here, and I bought one in CA no less.

Taken it to the range and shot it expecting a new revelation, but left unimpressed. Some quick points:

• Pistol is 100% reliable with Walmart WWB 9mm
• Much less muzzle raise
• Accuracy on par with other polymer pistol of its class
• As advertised, lower bore axis compared to other pistol of its class
• mushy but light trigger release
• smaller grip than Glock - same angle as CZ
• takes standard CZ-75 mags
• Overall a good solid pistol

So what's not like about it:

• Heaviest pistol of its class - a full 5 oz more than your G35.
• The recoil seems more violent than other pistol. felt recoil seems higher
• Strong recoil spring for a 9mm
• Once racked, its cocked. There is an exposed, firing pin block. Just waiting for some dirt in the wrong spot to deactivate it.
• The new link system will be inherently less consistent in barrel lock up. Barrel no longer lock directly to the slide.
• Ejection port is tiny compared to others
• More moving parts to fail.
• Price

I have not shot the "break in" rounds stated, so it may loosen up some. Not regret getting this. Just another collection. But what it is not is a replacement for Glock.

Bought one from Sooner State. OC Armory did the SSE. My 10 days were up yesterday, just trying to find time to go get it...

from the video. the last guy to the left looks hurt at the end!!

[MontClaire]

Is it worth buying? Would a simple glock 17 or 19 perform same or better?

IMO, yes it is worth buying. I bought one.
You no longer need to worry about this.
They have sold out and SSE is ending in 9 days.

[viet4lifeOC]

This was on top of my to buy list, but only found this thread yesterday.

I'll call tomorrow and see if they have any black on black left.

Human life (including military folks) in Russia is cheaply expendable. They are tools for the state, to be used for the good of the state, with no regard for the end consequence. If a bunch die in training, no big deal. There are plenty more where they came from.
