Description
The Arsenal Firearms Strike One Mark II is a full-size competition and duty-oriented pistol built around one genuinely unusual engineering priority: an exceptionally low bore axis. Most striker-fired designs sit the barrel relatively high above the shooter’s hand; the Strike One’s geometry drops that line closer to the wrist, which means the muzzle has less mechanical leverage to rotate upward on firing. The practical result is that the gun returns to the sight picture faster between shots — a real advantage in timed or multi-target work, not just a cosmetic difference.
The straight trigger is paired with a single-action striker mechanism, which gives the break a consistent, short feel without the stacking common to double-action or partially pre-tensioned designs. Shooters who prefer to stage a trigger will find less to work with here, but those who want a clean, repeatable break each time will appreciate the consistency. No thumb safety is fitted, so the trigger discipline that should already be in place matters more, not less.
The threaded barrel uses a 1/2×28 pattern and accepts standard muzzle devices. The fiber optic front sight pulls ambient light into a visible pip that stays readable in low contrast conditions where a plain black post can disappear against a target. Two 17-round magazines are included, which means a spare is available from the start rather than as an add-on purchase.
The silver frame and slide finish is stainless in character — this is not a cerakote over a blued part. The polymer frame keeps overall weight down while the metal slide provides the mass that smooths the cycling impulse. If you shoot 9mm at volume and want a platform that manages muzzle rise mechanically rather than relying entirely on grip technique, the Strike One Mark II warrants serious consideration.
