ARC Coup de Grace Builds

My experience with the pivoting handle and a BnA TacSport Pro set around 11oz is that one Jews not run the bolt like a raped ape to get the pin to fall on closing.

Raped ape combined with a scaled dog could not get the fixed handle to make the striker pin fall.

I’m running a TT special in mine right at 1lb 2 oz and haven’t had any issues

I have a CDG running a 20 practical with a 2 stage B&A set at about 8oz. Using a fixed bolt handle as recommended by ARC. Never had an issue.

A diamond one pound and under can experience the dead trigger with the pivoting handle. Ask me how I know. I switched to non pivoting and the problem solved. I’m at 13oz on my diamonds. Owning several Archimedes and starting with a pivoting cdg I can honestly say I’m not sure I’ve ever truly needed the function. I don’t load high pressure nor am I running crazy calibers. Op of asking this question if you want to run under a pound I wouldn’t be worried about getting the non pivoting one.

I like the pivoting handle of the Archimedes because it allows for a fairly light bolt lift with a super strong striker spring (I think they’re 26lbs). My Nuke 2.0 I run a 19lbs and it still doesn’t even come close to it.
I run trigger tech 2stage on both my Arch and my CDG at sub 1lbs and never had an issue and I run the bolt really hard. The single stage diamond I run on the Nuke at 6oz, never had an issue either.
I’m still not 100% sold on the CDG vs the Arch … I can’t exactly explain it …
