Precision. Control. Confidence.
The Archon Type B wasn’t designed to follow industry trends—it was engineered to challenge them.
At the heart of every Type B is the patented AF-Speedlock® locking system, a mechanical design that reduces muzzle rise, promotes faster sight recovery, and delivers an exceptionally flat shooting experience without relying on compensators or oversized ports.
Whether you’re building a concealed carry pistol, duty sidearm, competition gun, suppressor host, or range companion, the Type B provides a platform that rewards speed, precision, and confidence.
Every configuration shares the same DNA:
Built for shooters who demand more from every trigger press.
Why Shooters Choose the Archon Type B
The Type B has earned a loyal following among instructors, competitors, law enforcement professionals, and everyday enthusiasts because it feels different the moment you fire it.
Instead of fighting recoil, shooters often describe the pistol as tracking naturally back onto target, allowing faster follow-up shots with less effort.
Combined with outstanding ergonomics, excellent reliability, and premium machining, the result is a handgun that inspires confidence from the first magazine to the thousandth.
Engineered Differently
Unlike traditional Browning-style tilting barrel designs, the Archon utilizes its patented AF-Speedlock® locking system to keep the barrel moving in a nearly straight line throughout the firing cycle.
The result is:
- Reduced muzzle rise
- Faster sight recovery
- Improved recoil control
- Increased shooting comfort
- Excellent mechanical consistency
This engineering philosophy is what separates the Type B from many other striker-fired pistols on the market.
