How much do these go for?

If I had to guess, a buck three ninety five. $495.00 my guess.

I have a Gen 1 Archon and 2 Gen 2s. Great gun. I actually prefer the Gen 1 with the 15rd mags and the texture mapping on the grip. Sadly Archon just discontinued the Gen. The Gen 2 uses skateboard tape and I think the longer 18 rd grip throws the feel of the gun off ever so slightly. I do much prefer the deeper slide serrations of the Type 2 and that it comes optic ready. Bottom line the Archon Type B is a fantastic, flat shooter. Its low bore axis is a genuine difference maker - unlike the poseur Daniel H9.

Recently picked up a Gen 2 with RMR optic cut from Battlehawk Armory for $750. My other two both went for $950.

Heard, I stand corrected.

Gen 1 top, Gen 2 bottom.

Well maybe in the future for now. It does look good and has some interesting features.

The cool thing is that the gun does not use a browning action and the barrel doesn’t tilt, which is really what makes it such a good shooter.

Yet another Glock-rip-off striker-fired... YAWN....

Not really if you watch the video, it does not use the traditional browning tilt barrel system, it’s not a copy say like the Ruger RMX or S&W SD series of guns

Glock is just a ripoff of the HK VP70, so…what’s your point?

True, HK made the first polymer gun, many think Glock did, but nada

My point is YAWN- BORED WITH STRIKER-FIRED PLASTIC PISTOLS. Got a PROBLEM with that?

Nah,

Yawn.

Just bored with people whinging about stuff they don’t like that doesn’t affect them at all.

Yawn.

Ya hey, whatever dude. I own, carry multiples of both styles. Have done for years. Again, you have no point.
