Arex Rex Zero 1 Compact Tactical 9mm Single/Double Action 4.5 17+ - Stainless/Silver, 4.9" Barrel, 17 Rounds

I LOVE THIS GUN!! My order came very fast and I couldn't be happier! BUD'S you've got a customer for life!

This pistol is a super buy!! First, there are many reviews out on it and if you added all of the reviews together, there is not a single failure to fire. The gun is accurate and holds 18 rounds. It is ready to mount an optic and comes with a threaded barrel for silincer. Compared to other pistols in its class the RexZero 1 is much less expensive and the two-tone desert tan color looks great, I ordered the OEM Walnut grips and a UTG Red Dot (Green) and the REXZero 1 is now one of the best looking and most dependable guns that I own. Buds got the gun to me in a few days and I am very pleased with the process and the price! Bravo Arex and Buds!!

I'll start with the summary: with the exception of a few minor oversights, this is a fantastic firearm.
The Good:
- This Rex Zero 1 TC feels amazingly well balanced, there's almost no muzzle flip.
- The sights are as good as any suppressor height iron sights and are easy to pick up.
- The single action trigger is great, and performs exactly as you'd expect.
- The Rex Zero 1 TC is unfailingly reliable. After about 1500 rounds through the gun myself, and another couple hundred by newer shooters prone to less than ideal grips, there have been a grand total of 0 failures or malfunctions. The gun just works.
The Neutral:
- The Rex Zero 1 TC is super tight when you get it. The slide can be difficult for some people to manipulate and the magazine release can be difficult for some people to press. After a few hundred rounds, both loosened up a bit.
- The grip is fairly large, so if you have small hands it will take some getting used to.
The Bad:
- The grip is just bad. The screws are also loctited on so take that in mind when changing out the grips. I replaced the stock grips with G10 grips and it makes a world of difference.
- The thread protector on the barrel loosens up with every shot, and needs to be tightened after each magazine. Loctite etc. would not be a viable choice for stopping this as the thread protector needs to be removed before you can field strip the firearm. Would have been great if they included an O ring.
My wife could tell you that I have a love affair with this gun. I absolutely love shooting it, and with some minor tweaks it could be perfect.

First, I'd like to say I'm very pleased with my purchase. The fit and finish is phenomenal, and the bronze/goldish tan finish really is nice in person. Machining of the slide for a red dot sight is very clean and all the adapter plates fit perfectly in place. The threaded barrel is well done and even tho the thread protector has no o ring to help from backing off I see no issue with this coming off while firing.
I'm 5'10 and have medium large hands and I do say it may have a rather large grip for some but honestly the controls can easily be used with the flick of the wrist or if you so desire can use your off hand to manipulate the controls. I find very little cons with this pistol but I do have to address the things I'm not so thrilled about it. 1. I have noticed the mag release is rather stiff. I'm sure with time this will break in but for for now it's a con. 2. The safety is easy to disengage but when trying to put it back on safe it can be rather hit or miss due to how the grip is designed around it. I wish the grip wasn't so pronounced around it, only the very edge of my thumb makes contact with the safety and after a few drills I have a nasty blister. I'm looking into a solution for this, and it may just be an issue with me but it's certainly a thing to consider of you plan on using the safety. Me personally train with safety on as this is how I carry. I take every precaution but a safety is another piece of mind to have when carrying one in the pipe. Overall I've had a bout 300 or so rounds with it and I'm very pleased with it. Flat shooter and very manageable recoil. I recommend anyone eyeing this to pick one up.
