GLOCK KILLER...PMG STRYK-B

[BES]

Isn't that a Strike 1 with a bunch of extra machining runs on the slide.

From what I gather, it is similar to the Strike 1 but they have taken feedback from end users to change the design and make a 100% US made firearm. In comparison to the Italian made strike 1 it has Improved ergonomics and machined internals instead of MIM, and a superior trigger. A major improvement are the internal upgrades, the original batch of strike 1s had some reliability issues. Can't wait for someone to review one, from what I've read so far the recoil impulse is extremely tame because of the grip angle, low bore axis and locking mechanism. To me the real question is, for $799 is that much better than a Glock? I guess we'll find out eventually.

..... Also, Salient Arms doesn't have the best reputation right now lol...

I won't buy it until they make a compact.

errrr . . . single stack.

[JHC]

Oh, look. Another special snowflake gun. I bet it has the lowest bore axis ever.

We need a design with the sights above my hand, an inverted magazine feeding downward and the slide and barrel UNDER my hands.

I would buy one for 799. They look cool. Guessing it won't ever make the production list though

[Irelander]

I would try one out. A compact version would be ideal...like G19 barrel length.

[Nephrology]

I would shoot one. Not sure I'd buy one.

Oh, gee....let's see:

-Established reliability/accuracy/durability?

-Price?

-Ease of field-stripping?

-Ease of detailed disassembly?

-Aftermarket support (including customer service, component stockages, magazines, etc.)?

-Consumer/Organizational support/support network?

-Potential for expansion/growth/improvement in design architecture?

-Manufacturing quality and sustainability?

Hey, it might be the greatest new firearm; after all, in the 1980s no one really visualized Glock either. But it, and they, have some creds to establish, and some hurdles to jump first.

Best, Jon

I'll let someone else beta test random expensive crap like this. In 10 years if Stoeger is shooting one and Pat Mac tells me they burn things down when he's doing blaze ops I'll consider it.

[Sal Picante]

It is an interesting design - falling block action. I'd like to try one out for the lulz and see how it does.
(That said, I like my Glocks, err, Berettas too...)

That's the neat thing about guns - a few approaches to the concept/constraints and some better/worse execution of the final product.

There are many fields where cutting edge tech is an end user benefit .


Firearms ain't one of them.
