I passed the 2600 round mark this morning ,shoots boringly good no issues to report of any kind.  No I will cerakote this with some crazy pattern to see how the polymer stands up to baking. It will also allow me to see what makes tick. So far a very nice shooter.

I heard MAC mention the Arsenal Strike One (the Russian Strizh) very briefly in the vid-- this gun appears similarly-proportioned. Is this a Strike One clone (seeing as how the Strike One never really materialized in appreciable numbers here, I even hesitate to use the word "clone") or is it a revision by the same company under a different name? I never heard of "Archon" firearms before this...

The original company dissolved and Archon is the the new company and you are looking at the redesigned next generation firearm .  I would hope that they would come back with another fullsize and a subcompact model as well.  The success of this model will probably determine their future. I like this model and mine has performed very well . The only thing that I would like to see is an enhanced trigger. it's pretty good ,but their room for improvement. Mine is pretty smooth at 2600 rounds , I would like to get the pull down to 3 lbs.

Regarding the trigger, is it SA/DA, or is it DA only?

I appreciate you bringing this rather attractive (in both form and function) pistol to our attention! I probably wouldn't have heard of it otherwise.

It is a Sa style trigger no second strike ability like found on say some Taurus models. Trigger on the one that I put over 2600 rounds through first pulled at 7.1 lbs when new ,now it averages 4.9 lbs ,very consistent short reset, not a bad feel at all. I like it better than my custom Glock ,however in opinion my 2 Grand Power striker fired models the Q100 and Q1S have a better lighter trigger pull coming in at 3.86 and 4.1 lbs from the factory. but those triggers are touchy very light  and have more over travel and pre travel. The Archon has a nice short reset shoots well ,love the accuracy is a better combat or self defense trigger then my Grand Powers which are on the light side for your average shooter. Now if Grand power where to offer there striker system in an Xcaliber I would be all over it. Like wise if Archon were to over a subcompact I would be all over that . I like smaller guns for carry. The Archon is slightly larger than a G19 ,but carries well . I would still go for the smaller gun and I know I will be getting the updated P!0 Cz subcompact to play with. God I just love pistols.
