Title: Armalite AR24
Post by: ElViejo on April 03, 2018, 04:02:51 PM
I just read the blurb on the CZ75 vs R 51.  Its sort of a watermelon vs orange debate, BUT whilst on the subject, if anyone comes across an Armalite AR24, they should snap it up if they want a full size duty pistol.  A sort of cross between a CZ75 and an old SIG 210.

They sure made it look like it was polymer. How good a pistol is it? I have never heard of one.

It's a black epoxy like many CZs (and others). very thick paint. I don't care for it much either. It's yet another CZ75 clone.

I prefer the old CZs. The new ones just aren't as appealing as the old ones.
