The TIKI-T Titanium Handgun
Tiki,
the embodiment of the Polynesian god of creation; T, symbolic of the all-titanium
construction Infinity Firearms announces the availability of the all new,
all-titanium TIKI-T. Marrying the legendary properties
of titanium's lightweight strength with the cutting-edge innovations you've
come to expect from the Infinity designers, TIKI-T is
redefining the industry parameters for performance, endurance and aesthetics
in handgun design.
Infinity Firearms provides sporting competitors with greater high capacity
frames, hybrid and tribrid barrel systems for reduced coil, tri-glide
trigger systems, interchangeable breechface slides, interchangeable trigger
systems, and many more patented components - all incorporated in the new
TIKI-T. Many of the design elements are achieved using
state-of-the-art Cad/Cam and solid modeling techniques that are fed through
DNC (Direct Numerical Control) to sophisticated CNC equipment. The final
testing of TIKI-T for repeatability and accuracy is accomplished
via a newly designed CMM (Convergence Measuring Machine) The CMM is a
highly accurate system with statistical Cpk values that adds minimum noise
to the testing of firearms. Unlike conventional rests, this system is
designed to indicate the exact capability of the barrel or pistol. A very
good shooter could outshoot conventional rests; this, however, cannot
happen with a CMM.
No shortcuts are taken and no compromises made with the TIKI-T.
Titanium components are fully machined from aircraft grade titanium alloys.
No castings are or will ever be used to produce a pistol of TIKI-T's
superior performance deliverability. Infinity designers employ different
titanium alloys in the manufacture of their components. Alpha alloys are
used for parts that require greater malleability. Beta alloys are incorporated
in areas requiring greater hardness and Alpha-Beta alloys are used where
strength and flexibility are desirable. All the titanium alloys used offer
superior corrosion resistance and integrity in the most extreme temperatures.
The TIKI-T
is manufactured with state-of-the-art equipment and constructed from all-
titanium components. In the end, it's those components that ensure the
TIKI-T is unrivaled. One of those exclusive features
is the patent-pending sighting system. The slide incorporates a day and
night sighting system that allows for extremely quick and accurate acquisition
of the target. The extremely low profile of the system is accomplished
by a special slide profile where the top of the slide is machined at the
point of aim (barrel lock angle). Consider also the tritium system. The
four-dot system is hidden in deep pockets and is viewable by the user
only along channels from the rear of the slide to the front. These channels
are ergonomically positioned to the user's focal point. This four-dot
system enabled the designers to include a hybrid barrel for recoil reduction
and muzzle control. A center channel from the rear of the slide to the
muzzle is the daylight sighting system ensuring target acquisition is
immediate with a wide viewing area. Other features that cannot be found
on any other product, but are standard with the TIKI-T
include a slide with a removable breechface for quick and cost-effective
caliber changes; an interchangeable trigger system that allows the user
to quickly and inexpensively customize a pistol's ergonomics (hand size,
finger length); an ultra low ejection port for increased ejection reliability;
precision matched radial lugs in the barrel and slide for extended life
and continued high accuracy; and panel-cut gripping serrations for improved
gripping of the slide with cold hands or gloves. Last, but certainly not
least, is a new tool steel inserted
rail system (patent pending), unique in that it controls all four
degrees of freedom of motion. The hardened tool steel inserts are locked
in place by special geometry, but are removable with simple tools for
maintenance, if required.
State-of-the art
manufacturing, exclusive patented components , and still Infinity Firearms
delivers more. There are the artistically scrolled grip screws designed
with a spline found only in the most expensive knives and fully heat-treated
for long life and dependability. The dust cover of the frame is extended
to the end of the slide giving the pistol a full-bodied look that has
been the trademark of Infinity pistols in the competition circuit for
the past three years. Additionally, the pistol is available in a natural
finish or the same PVD coating used on the large telescopic mirrors used
by observatories - a process that applied an extremely thin but hard finish
that mimics the natural warm glow of titanium for the ultimate protection
from the wear of holstering and handling.
TIKI-T: a legend in handgun performance, innovation
and aesthetics is born.
