NEW FIREARMS & ACCESSORIES

We make every attempt to only preview new products when they are actually available on the market. This spares consumers from wasting time trying to locate an item to buy when it hasn't yet left the prototype phase. Please note that during SHOT Show (January of each year) manufacturers often announce new items that are several months from stores: we still announce these despite not being immediately available for purchase.

TYPE B Pistol (website)

The Flagship pistol of Archon Firearms, the Type B, features the ground-breaking AF-Speedlock technology. This new unique style of barrel lockup allows the firearm to sit lower in the hand providing the lowest bore axis of any current production pistol. The resulting effect is a completely different shooting experience.
On the Type B, the AF-Speedlock is mated with many features that are not offered by any competitor out of the box. The following features come standard on every Archon Type B pistol:
  • Fiber optic front sight with blacked out rear cut from billet steel. The slide uses a standard Glock dovetail and front sight for ease of change if preferred.
  • Front and rear cocking serrations.
  • AF-Speedlock locking mechanism.
  • Match-grade traditionally rifled barrel coated in black nitride.
  • Three stage recoil rod with uncaptured main spring (for ease of service and tuning)
  • Inner-frame milled from billet steel featuring full length rails.
  • Integrated beavertail with featured contour to activate tendon in hand for better grip.
  • Integrated picatinny rail for weapon attachments up front.
  • Full metal, flat-faced, short reset trigger.
  • Oversized trigger guard for use with gloved fingers.
  • Metal magazine release that is easily reversible for left-handed shooters.
  • Innovative Grip Mapping texture designed to actively fight the direction the gun wants to rotate during recoil.
  • Integrated magwell.
  • Full metal magazine with baseplate designed for ergonomic loading with grid pattern for ease of marking.
The Type B ships standard with the following items:
  • Four (4) Magazines
  • Malterra designed high quality range bag made with 500D Nylon
  • Silver AF USA Permanent Marker (for marking magazines)
  • EEXOX gun oil
  • California Compliant Safety Lock
  • User Manual
The Type B is currently available with the following options:
  • Black Nitride Slide
  • PVD FDE Slide (+) $52.50 USD
  • Fiber Optic Target Sights
  • AFR8 Night Sights (+) $103.95 USD
The Type B truly represents Archon Firearms commitment to redefining the industry standards by driving new levels of technology, performance, ergonomics and functionality never seen before.
All Type B pistols are backed by Archon’s lifetime warranty.
