It looks interesting, but I'll wait for it to vett itself.

 

They're already on our shores and on Gunbroker. Last I checked there were at least 10 of them for sale, ready to ship.

I checked GB and didn't see any. Perhaps I screwed up the search or something.




...just checked again and all I see are "taking orders". It does say the 9mm will arrive in a few weeks. That's the only caliber I'm interested in.

Of course, I probably don't want one from the very first batch.

 

Get yer checkbook out

Edit: You're right, those are all just "taking orders." When I last searched for them, about a month ago, there were several dealers that specifically said they had one in their store and it was ready to go. Maybe that was the first batch and now they're waiting on more.

 

For example:

And I saw one or two that were actually being sold as used!

 

Interesting, I haven't checked GB for them in a couple months. I figured I'd hear about someone having one on the forum.

There's no way I'd overpay with some of those dopes who need to have one first. People were paying $700 to $800 for the first Glock 42s. What a bunch of morons...

The taking orders buy it now is the way to go, granted the price isn't too high. I'm not sure what the retail is at the moment.

 

Whoa, LSP

I'm not talking about that goofy double barrel 1911. I'm just talking about the Strike One pistol.

 

Interesting looking pistol, looks like a XD, M&P and and CCF raceframe melded together.

Curious to see how it performs.

 

Ohhhhh

I didn't click your link but saw the "Arsenal" in the URL.

Yeah, I checked on the Strike One a few weeks ago too and found the same thing as you, just preorders. :embarassed:

Yeah...I was looking at the links going Wtf.....:dunno:

 

They're taking orders at $849??? Ouch.

Hope that's not the real street price, because that seems about $300 too high.

Definitely looks interesting though.

 

If it's well made, that doesn't seem too crazy to me. People pay more for H&Ks, and these have a lot of R&D to recoup.

I think that's the price, actually. I wouldn't mind paying a little more if the quality surpasses the masses of polymer, striker fired pistols on the market.

 

it's that the one made in Russia ?

Agreed

We'll have to see how the final product is. It certainly looks promising and I hope it's worth the money and wait.

 

Looks like the love child of a Glock and an XDm:wavey:


Nice though....I like it.


TGG

I actually think its made in Italy, but built primarily for Russia.

 

Very interesting looking. If the price comes down a bit it could be a decent seller.

 

Don't want to be the nattering nabob of negativism, but why the excitement? How is this different than any other plastic fantastic???:dunno:

High quality materials, good engineering, high grade production practices, and some very cool design aspects.

I won't know anything until I get one in my hands, but I think it will be a winner.

This Arsenal company has only existed since 2011 and their other pistol is a ridiculous double barrel 1911 so what makes you so confident that this is high quality production. I think this is more likely to be a repeat of Caracal.

Seriously, the Caracal?

I don't think so, but we shall see. I just have a hunch its going to be a good one. Besides that, I like interesting firearms.

Honestly, the double barrel 1911 is certainly ridiculous, but I give the company some props for trying something different. Its goofy, but that doesn't mean it isn't well built.
