I don't see it on his product pages.
If you don't mind me asking, what's he selling them for? If I remember correctly, MSRP was something like $800. |

Is it that difficult to get a real importer? I'm not going to buy a "one off" where there's only a few hundred guns in the country. I want to know that spare parts and magazines are going to be easy to get.

Easy target for import ban as things deteriorate in our relations with the Russian Federation. They are actually Italian, but with all of the import ban talk as of late...I didn't even think about this... I'm cool with paying $800 for one. It is $300 more than a Glock, but the ergonomics and barrel to hand height really sold me on this. I have enough Glock, and I still love 'em... |

I'm interested in this, even though it looks like an anorexic Glock. What are the specs and is it just one model for now?

From the description it seems to be like a great gun. Granted it is being put out by the people trying to sell it, but apparently it is a match grade combat handgun. I don't know why anyone would call it a "Glock killer" though. At that price, they will be competing with Sig and HK, not Glock and Smith and Wesson.

Here's a nice video comparing them to many popular 9mm by barrel to top hand height, rise and return to fire time. I suspect competition shooters will find these very enticing...

From what I've already read, I'd love to get my hands on one of those but at the price being asked, I'm not going to beta test them.
I do want though. Eventually, but only if their introduction is successful. Here's a redacted offer at $500 each.

so the armslist listing is $500 for a spot in line and then you pay MSRP??
They don't even put your $500 towards the final price? Forget that. One of the draws was that the Strike one was supposed to be comparable to Glock pricing. |

At any rate, the listing was redacted anyway. |

I received an email directly from Arsenal stating that they do not have a dealer network set up yet. I specifically asked them when the Strike One will be on the market. Here is the email from Arsenal:
Dear Mr. XXXX, thank you for the kind email and interest in our products. The Strike One will be cleared by ATF any day now for imports in the USA: soon after that we will announce the distribution plan. Please keep an eye on our website and watch out for the breaking news. Again thank you and Best Regards., The Arsenal Firearms Team. |

I like how they try to throw numbers and angles at you to make it seem scientific. It does look like a sweet pistol, just can't stand these marketing videos used as "evidence" to the product's attributes. LOL! Look at how much hard he is holding the pistol when he shoots the Strike Fire. His hands are WHITE vs loose and pink when holding the other 9mms. |

From the text below the video, plugged into Google Translate: Ingenuity, art and "Made in Italy" elegantly mixed with masterful Russian experience in the world of miniatures, have given rise to Strike One, revolutionary weapon, recently introduced on the international market.

Looking forward to seeing some reports on these. I know Larry Vickers was very impressed, i believe he sId it was the softest shooting polymer pistol he ever shot and this pistol actually has some real differences internally from any other polymer autos.
Btw, $750 isn't expensive for a handgun...far from it if its a quality piece. |
