Arsenal Firearms is the Italian company behind the AF-1 Strike One, a striker fired 9 mm pistol introduced in 2012 with a very low bore axis. Besides the polymer framed original, there are Ergal versions with a frame machined from 7075 aluminium alloy, heavier and aimed at dynamic shooting, and the Mark II. For all of them our range does one job: it puts a red dot on the slide.
Strike One and Mark II without a cut
On a Strike One slide with no optics cut, the dot sits on a Toni System mount that drops into the rear sight dovetail. No milling is needed and the factory rear can go back in later. The catch is that Strike One slides have been made with three different dovetail widths: 11.85 mm, 11.7 mm and 6.72 mm, the last one shared with the Mark II. A mount fits only its own width, so measure the dovetail on your slide, or check the specification of your exact pistol, before choosing.
Ergal and Pro with a factory cut
The Ergal and Pro versions come with an optics cut. Here a Toni System plate replaces the cover and holds the optic low in the slide, so you keep a natural sight line through the dot.
Type A or type B
Every mount and plate comes in two versions, named after the footprints they accept. Type A takes optics built to the Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP or Docter pattern, type B the Trijicon RMR or C-More RTS pattern. What counts is the hole pattern under the optic, so a dot from any maker cut to the RMR standard goes on a type B part.
Mounts are in Red dot mounts for Arsenal Firearms, plates in Optics ready plates for Arsenal Firearms. The models have their own pages: Accessories for Arsenal Firearms Strike One, Accessories for Arsenal Firearms Ergal and Accessories for Arsenal Firearms Mark 2.
Frequently asked questions
Which dovetail width does my Strike One have?
Measure the rear sight dovetail across its widest point with a caliper, or ask the dealer who sold the gun. The three Strike One widths are 11.85, 11.7 and 6.72 mm.
Does the mount replace my rear sight?
Yes. It sits where the rear sight was, so the red dot is your only sight while the mount is fitted.
Are these the same parts as for American Precision Firearms pistols?
Yes. Each product lists both names, because the pistols share the same slides.
