Designed in the early Nineties by Nicola Bandini, one of the cofounders of Arsenal Firearms, the Rapax was introduced in the USA at the turn of the Century under the name of Tanfoglio Thor and as a global product as Tanfoglio Raptor. Based on a standard 1911 .45 steel frame carrying an integral, button rifled high quality barrel coupled with the help of an extremely strong cradle (acting like a “slide” on the 1911 frame) the newly named Rapax comes to a second life with Arsenal Firearms. The Rapax is also a perfect platform for the hunter and long range shooter alike: it allows barrel and caliber substitution in the field, without the use of tools, in less than 30 seconds. ACTION: Break-Open, eclipsing block. TRIGGER: 1911-style, Single Action only. SAFETIES: 1911-style side lever safety, grip safety, half-cock hammer safety, slam-fire crossbar safety on the barrel. FRAME: 1911, steel single stack magazine cavity. SLIDE: none, substituted by barrel coupling cradle. SIGHTS: none, equipped with integral Weaver specs barrel, steel rail for scope mount |
