FIRST MAG: SALIENT ARMS STRIKE ONE
About this video
Colion reviews the Salient Arms Tier One Arsenal Strike One pistol, a customized collaboration version of a firearm he previously tested. He examines the gun’s distinctive features including its long slide with aggressive window cuts, low bore axis design, and smooth trigger. Colion takes the pistol to the range to evaluate how these modifications affect tracking speed and shooting performance compared to more common platforms like Glocks.
Key takeaways
- Colion explains that the Strike One’s notably low bore axis positioning helps the gun shoot flatter by reducing the fulcrum effect between hand and barrel
- Colion observes that despite the long slide (which he typically dislikes on guns like the Glock 34), the Salient Arms version tracks exceptionally fast due to the weight reduction from window cuts
- Colion praises the trigger’s smooth uptake and easy-to-find reset, which he describes as making follow-up shots very manageable
