The Arsenal Firearms AF-1 Strike One, also known as Strizh (Swift bird) in Russia, is a semi-automatic pistol by Russo-Italian company Arsenal Firearms. Originally designed for Russian military/law enforcement, it saw testing for adoption (and some intense discussion in the Russian military scene about it), but was rejected and buried after a series of behind-the-scenes political shiftings that saw the Russian founder of Arsenal Firearms being forced to leave Russia in 2014. It uses an unusual patented locking system based on the Bergmann system. The Strizh is produced in Russia, while Strike One pistols are produced in EU factories for export.
In United States, a variant of the pistol intended replace imports and sales of the Strike One in the US is produced by a collaboration between Arsenal Firearms and Salient Arms International. Originally, Prime Ammunition was also involved, and the collaboration was known as Prime Manufacturing Group, but Prime Ammunition left and the collaboration became Arsenal Firearms USA. This variant, originally known as Stryk, features a new slide, new trigger, and a new grip texture, with two variants: the full-sized Stryk-A and the compact Stryk-B. A trademark dispute saw Arsenal Firearms USA rebranding itself as Archon Firearms and the Stryk-B pistols being rebranded as Type B, just as the first shipment of Stryk pistols were delivered to the US and causing another delay due to having to rebrand the slides. Stryk-A seems to have disappeared during the political chaos.
The Arsenal Firearms Strike One and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
