Another gun that is horribly underrated and mostly unknown. Been rocking one for years. It's a very nice piece and compares well against a P226. It is literally half the cost of a Legion and can be modded slightly.
I agree. I won one and I love it. I purchased the Hugue grips and was a game changer! Love the gun the in Midwest because the large trigger guard is really large and great for glove actions. Great pistol. Single action is very smooth
Polenar Tactical has adjustable flat faced triggers for the Arex Zero 1 and 2, as well as competition spring kits and short reset plates for the Zero 1 available and they ship internationally out of Europe.
I bought my FDE Arex Rex Zero 1s as soon as I saw the Military Ams Channel torture Test against the Sig Legion. I absolutely love it. I just bought the Compact version of my Arex Rex that I have been carrying Aiwb. I’ve never had any problems with my Arex. I ve got over 5,000 Rds though my Full Size without any malfunctions. No FTE -FTF OR ANYTHING ELSE. This is the most Reliable pistol I have ever had in my entire life 😃😃😃😃😃
Thank you for covering this very little known handgun! I have been looking more heavily into slovenian firearms due to purchasing a Tinck Arms Perun X16 builders kit. I hope that when the AREX Zero 2 Tactical Compact OR comes out to see another review of it.
I saw one full size at local for $750 month later may special $550 I bought it and they only had display model with a small scratch so they took off $50 so walked out with brand new rex zero1t full size $500
@@Katana_GryphonLTT version would be sweet but even a box stock just to see how it stacks up against the other box stock DA/SA guns would be good. I’d take either!
Picked up my Arex zero 1Tt full size last month and love it. I carry it daily everywhere. I hear a ton of complaints about the trigger but I love DA/SA and once you get some time in with the pistol the trigger pull is smooth and does not feel near as heavy as it measures. Picked mine up on sale at a huge discount for only 425! Grips are not my favorite so replacing them with G10 lok grips and I believe I will upgrade to flat trigger. I believe this gun would be a great value at normal price of 700 to 750.
Another great point with this firearm that needs to be mentioned is the slide rails are full-length of the frame. Makes the slide travel really smooth.
I d been wanting to see more reviews of this gun. Get the series 2 and test it as well! Not having an optic mount sucks but nothing a reputable machine shop can’t fix for 100-150$.
I have 3 Arexs the zero1 compact. The zero1 full size tactical and the delta gen 2 x. Probably my favorite brand. But on zero1 s lok grips make some awesome grips for them!
For a carry holster, check out the PHLster Floodlight. You need a Surefire X300 or a Streamlight TLR-1 (depending on the model of holster you choose) but it will work with almost any gun with the proper light on it so you don't have to hunt down holsters for rare/obscure pistols. The Floodlight is also legitimately the best-concealing holster I've ever used.
I have a zero 1 cp standard in nickel and i love it. Nice thing is you can get different grips. Very comfortable gun for carry and nice capacity. I will say that the da trigger is pretty heavy when compared to my p01. I know there are some oem parts to improve that, but I haven’t done that at this point.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Also was interested in Arex after seeing MAC years ago but never saw one. Picked up the full size version of your gun and was impressed w/ quality (and price). If you get a chance, their Alpha model is ridiculous.
Thanks for another great review David!! Don't know if I would ever buy this gun, but you should never say never!! Have an awesome week Brother & see you on your next review!!!
I bought a Arex Zero1 Tactical after seeing a couple factory tour vids a while back (Forgotten Weapons, TFB.) I don't really put any value in MAC's videos as he is a bit of a clickbait boomeresque ding-dong. I think 90% of his "gun issues" content is fabricated for the clicks. I have been shooting firearms for 30+ years and never had even a fraction of the "new gun issues" that dildo has had. I strolled into one of my local gun stores to buy a Sig365 .380 and they had the Arex sitting there - so I bought it as well. I think it was a couple years ago or more. I currently have over 2500 rounds through it and it has been great. It was a nice addition to the "full size all metal" part of my collection. It turned out to be one of the "instantly accurate" pistols that fits my hand size/body geometry very well. At first it had a very "service pistol" feel to it (which makes sense, as that is what it is) but as the round count gets higher it gets smoother. My DA trigger wasn't horrible and the SA trigger felt just a shade heavier than the most recent base Beretta 92x I picked up. I did change the grips out to something thinner and more aggressive. I see people complain about "high bore axis" like it really matters, and laugh. I have found that attribute to make zero difference in speed/accuracy if you actually shoot the guns. Those complaining must be the one box of ammo through it ever six months kind of shooters, or wannabe Jerry Ms. As been the case for decades - proper technique and actually using the pistols makes it a non issue. If you are looking for a all metal, full size 9mm handgun that won't ever seem to fail and don't want the common flavors - I recommend picking one up.
The RXP version of the p229/226 do have co-witness irons (sadly in a three white dot set up) that work pretty well. This pistol seems fairly similar to the 229, albeit substantially cheaper than the sig version with the red dot cut. I’m not sure how useful a manual safety is for a double/single gun, but from the review I’d guess the main advantage of paying for the 229 or 226 over this would be the trigger. For the discount over the sig, though, this is probably worth checking out.
This video caught be surprise. Big fan of DA/SA guns. Arex being in my top 5. Im done waiting for the Zero2 OR and just broke down and moved forward with the Zero2 S. Thank you. Oh, and "i am not a potatoe"
Would definitely like to see a comparison to the P226 Legion DA/SA. I like DA/SA Sigs and have been thinking of adding a P226 to the collection. Reading very good things about the Legion SAO, so would actually be interested in seeing a video comparison that SAO mode to the other popular SAO’s: Staccato and Prodigy namely.
Nice review! It would be cool to see you do a review on Arex Alpha if you can get your hands on one, since you are competitive shooter that is their competition model. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. Ghost USA also has holsters IWB, OWB and competition.
I’ve got big hands but the grip is slick and big!! If there’s replacement grips that are slimmer and grippier, I’d be interested!! Reminds me of the old mosquitos Lol
Big fan of ANR holsters...i have several pistols and most of them live in ANR holsters...and i'm drunk as usual while consuming firearms content on YT.
great video, poor joke lol. that one i heard of but yeah hard to find things for it if more after market support would make a different and be able to pick it up at your local store
Eh, most of MAC's content I wouldn't put too much faith in. While these guns are fantastically reliable (he did get that right...) most of his other "new gun has issues" and other content I think is purely click-bait B.S.
I question the validity of those gauntlet tests, they aren't consistent much less scientific and do not prove anything you could depend on IRL. If you drop any pistol into a wet mud hole there is a chance it will or won't work, best to assume it won't and act accordingly. I can't imagine any professional, including myself, picking a pistol because of the results in the "gauntlet" it's entertainment at best. There is no reason other than chance an ARex copy of the Sig 226 would be expected to perform better.
@@CCW1911 That and all these "gauntlet" tests are in controlled environments - which that alone kinda makes them just entertainment. GarandThumb does it best - he says repeatedly that his tests are worth nothing in the real world.
That looks a lot like my all steel frame Jericho 941 fs9. Would you say since it's aluminum frame that it would be a lighter option of the same size/type of gun?
What camera do you use that is mounted on your hat? I really want to start filming my matches, but can't find the name of the tiny camera the Uspsa guys use
I had one of these a year ago. Great slide, but the frame leaves a lot to be desired. Also the detail strip with how the mainspring sits is a nightmare.
Bore axis isn't the big thing the internet makes it out to be. Technique and actual shooting makes it a non-issue. Also, if you don't like the 92s grip - look into the something like a 92x, they have the "vertex" grip which is a little different. Between the two though - the 92x and my Zero1 Tactical, I will say the Beretta is the much more practical (parts availability, accessories, etc) and is the "slicker" better feeling to manipulate handgun. Accuracy I can't tell a difference. I would only recommend the Arex over the 92x if you just want something a bit different, rarer, and (IMO) cooler. From a practical home/self defense perspective - go with the 92.
I had an Arex Zero 2 and it was OK but I much prefer my CZ P-07 tactical with the Cajun Gun Works Pro Package which, if you install it yourself, is probably in a similar price range. Reliability is also amazing and you get a lot better trigger. Next step for me is sending it out to get the slide milled for an optic (there are a lot of companies out there that do that).
I'm still waiting fo the day ArEX puts out guns with no manual safety. One less step "in the heat of the moment" to remember and possibly cost us that precious second. Of course if we train with 1911 pistols....speaking as a civilian recreational shooter....heh..."prepaing" for hte eVeNt most of us hope never comes (e.g. home invasoin that turns into a gunfight).
You're really sensitive - I don't even have sponsored content in the video. I'm not even promoting anything in the video. I disclose when a gun is provided - but that's not promotion - that's federally mandated. If anyone gives you product on the video you have to click the "paid promotion" button on videos . As a gun review channel I get a lot of stuff sent in holsters, guns and sometimes ammo. To ensure compliance - if a video features ANYTHING then I click the box - and if I'm not sure - I click it.
Lol, you do realize that the whole "high bore axis" thing isn't as big of a deal is the internet makes it out to be right? If you actually shoot the pistols enough, with good technique it isn't perceivable. I shoot a ton of "low/mid/high" bore axis handguns and the speed/accuracy difference isn't noticeable in both casual and comp/training shooting - and the same is true of 99% of shooters.
Shooters good enough to actually use the small difference bore axis makes don't care enough about it to chose their pistols because of that factor, so many other important features.
Your bore axis issue really isn't there on this gun. The recoil on it is actually quite nice. It doesn't flip hard and is quite manageable. Don't knock it until you try it. And if you need to know, I run CZ's, Sig's, Beretta's and all kind of other guns. This Arex 1 is quite pleasant to shoot.
@@badengrishSi But "bore axis" is the new trendy crap to talk about on RUclips and Reddit the last year or so. Whenever I hear anyone talking about bore axis in regards to normal pistols - that pretty much tells me they don't shoot much. Anyone with half decent technique that shoots regularly doesn't care about it. Unless you are a high-level competitive speed shooter (which 99% of people aren't) bore axis means diddly squat. Nothing you will watch or read will help you shoot better if you don't actually get out there and get some trigger time. I run into it all the time at the range - people who shoot once/twice/thrice a year but think they are the offspring of Jerry M and John Wick because they watch someone on the 'tube. Reality usually sets in quick, and they leave out of frustration which only hurts their skill level. 30+ years of shooting has taught me that things like bore axis, grip angle, weight, etc of nearly all the "normal" handguns makes zero difference in ability with it, and it is all in repetition, technique, and practice.
Probably true, a striker fired pistol will allow you to improve a lot faster because you don’t have to worry about the trigger pull as much. Plus once you get more experience with striker fired pistols you’ll have better fundamentals and mastering the double action pull will be easier
If we'd had more time we could have done side-by-side comparson of the 1 and 2.

The arex can't be molded really. If you change out the springs it will no longer be reliable
is it compatible with any other commonly found magazines?

Reality usually sets in quick, and they leave out of frustration which only hurts their skill level. 30+ years of shooting has taught me that things like bore axis, grip angle, weight, etc of nearly all the "normal" handguns makes zero difference in ability with it, and it is all in repetition, technique, and practice.
I almost bought one years ago as my first pistol glad I didn't I dont think a sa/da gun would have been good for me.
Probably true, a striker fired pistol will allow you to improve a lot faster because you don’t have to worry about the trigger pull as much. Plus once you get more experience with striker fired pistols you’ll have better fundamentals and mastering the double action pull will be easier
