Archon Firearms - czech pistol with AF-Speedlock system®

Archon Firearms is a Czech manufacturer based in Karlovy Vary that produces premium hand-assembled pistols with the utmost care. The company aims to tailor the weapon to the specific needs of the shooter – whether it is for civilian sports, self-defense or professional use.

Archon emphasizes high quality, accuracy, ergonomics, low recoil and ease of use. The weapons are compatible with collimators (optics-ready), suppressors (suppressor-ready) and have a lower Picatinny rail for attaching accessories.

The company's history dates back to the creation of the AF-Speedlock® system in 2012, when a team of engineers and shooters developed their own patented barrel locking method, based on quality, innovation and feedback from professionals.

Archon Firearms currently offers two main lines – Type B and Type D, both of which are based on the same AF-Speedlock® locking system and strict design framework.

Main features and differents:

♦ Both are self-loading polymer pistols in 9×19mm caliber
♦ They have a low barrel axis (~12mm), which significantly improves control and reduces barrel travel when fired
♦ They offer the following variants as standard: Standard, OR (optics-ready), SR (suppressor-ready) and OSR (combination of both), complete with a Picatinny rail
♦ Both have a short-reset trigger, a cocked firing pin indicator, interchangeable grips and an improved button and magazine well

Type B – a more stylized model, with more pronounced stock lines; aimed primarily at sports shooters and demanding civilian users.

Type D – a more compact model, with straight and conservative stock lines, designed for users who prefer shooting practicality and a cleaner look.
