Morning coffee and a GunGraham. Gonna be a good day
There's a optics ready version coming out this summer according to AREX, with an $800 MSRP. I'm really looking forward to that version.

Just about to ask that! I'm not really into optics, but it is almost worth the wait given that it increases the resale value. Though I don't think I'll be selling this one once I get it. LOL

@Flea Tactical They are also releasing a compact version with and without an optics cut when they put the full-sized optics-ready version out. The people at Arex USA are incredibly nice and will answer any questions you have.

Struggling GB Guns not so much with 100K subscribers, congratulations!! Keep up the great material!
That cleaning kit is exactly like the one that came with my Tanfoglio Hunter, damn fine kit.
I've often called guns like that "Tweeners". Not really full sized, but not exactly compact. Not too big to carry, but much larger than the sub offerings. Does everything well enough, and isn't really bad at any of them. If you could only have just one gun, the Tweener is a solid consideration. This one looks to be particularly well-made. Thanks GB!

I’ve been close to getting the zero 1 a couple times. May have to grab one of these.
What a piece of art!
That is a work of art !
Great table top, thorough coverage.
I have the 1S and the compact. Love them both.
Love it! Definitely would like to pick one up soon
That is one handsome weapon. Ergonomics seem to be right on the money too. Great value seems likely; we just need to see shooting impressions.
Finally the review on the gen2 Rex Zero
You can still get the Zero 1 Compact, which I snagged right when it was released, for around $525-$550. The only P229 that I know of. This just looks amazing, and I can't wait for the range testing! I know for a fact that this bad boy needs a healthy diet of 124 gr NATO to loosen things yup. Classic Arex 😁

This gun's safety is a masterpiece, The gun can be carried cocked and locked or hammer down and locked. Also the gub has a decocker that does not engage the safety (like the beretta safety/decocker's decocker)
Love my RZ1cp buddy considering this one just because of the new grips.
Good morning, take my money please lol. Excellent offering.
This is my next purchase. And thank you for such an in-depth review. Bill Arex for a sales commission because you are absolutely selling this one with the level of detail you provide! LOL

Arex Delta makes outstanding quality handguns. Let us see how it does in the shooting impressions test 😎
Optics ready version is what I want
Maybe area for your fingers on grip is similar to G19 but because of tall slide and trigger area, overall height is even larger than G17.
Excellent video, thanks again for sharing this information. Another quality pistol we will be purchasing. Looks like cobblestone pattern to me 😁. God bless 🙏😇👌

Very nice piece, bummer can’t get one in California.
It is interesting the slide release also acts as de-cocker
Really like a da/SA gun with sweep down to disengage safety
I've described the Zero 1 as a product improved Hi Power, and this is further refinement of the idea. The slide design captures more of the Delta feeling, moving from the flat tombstone of the Zero 1. You remark on the trigger in both this table review and the range impressions. I run an Armory Craft flat adjustable trigger in my Zero 1 CP. The difference is night and day. I'd need to pull a Zero 2S apart, but I suspect it would fit in the new pistol. It has been a great upgrade to one of my favorite shooters.

There's nothing wrong with the factory trigger, it doesn't prevent me from doing anything and is appropriate for duty/carry.
That’s a sexy gun. Their Delta’s are really nice too
I hope they make a subcompact! I would like to know how it fairs against the bersa tpr9. I think they've both got a sig vibe but I personally didnt like the trigger feel of the original thunder 9. This trigger looks smoother. Hope Bersa improved theirs with the tpr9 and come out with optic ready models!
I'm considering getting one of these. But considering how expensive and difficult to get pistols are in Australia I might wait until a tactical version comes out.
I'm glad that you check for chamber support of the case-head, although the 9 x 19mm has the strongest case-head of the common auto-pistol cartridges. A far bigger deal with .40 S&W, 10mm and .45 ACP +P. I'm also glad that you refer to the 124 gr. Nosler JHP load as "Match" even though it is not. And neither is it a very good choice for defense in any other sense than it is an accurate bullet. I've handloaded and tested this bullet a good bit above the velocity that NOSLER loads too. And I can tell you that at even 1250 FPS the bullet does NOT expand reliably. Guys that handload it for .357 SIG get better results, but it's a poor choice for defense in 9 x 19mm.
Very beautiful pistol
Hey, nice video! Do you know what Magazines it takes?
I've seen a video of this pistol in this site that shows the manufacturer test fires these pistols way above +P rounds in their own factory.
Never seen one of those
Still have my gen 1 Arex, built like a tank. How is the DA pull, still 13 pounds?
Only know this because I just looked it up. Didn’t know that CIP is also a commission with only 14 member countries. Austria, Belgium, Chile, Czech Rep., Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, UAE, UK. Slovenia not a member. That said, if Arex sells the Rex Zero in any of those 14 countries, it must pass inspection at a proof house.
Any idea what Night sight from other gun would Fit the Zero 2 S?

esta muy bien esa escuadra
Their 1st version was tested at 135% of SAAMI standards so unless they lowered their construction, it shouldn't be a concern for most +P or +P+ ammo. Besides, +P and +P+ is often marketing and not truly hot ammo anyway

Does this accept Sig P226 magazines? I have a lot of them left over from when I traded my Sig MK25. I'd buy this gun just to recoup my investment in P226 magazines.
Idk kinda gives me Sig vibes. I like it
Does this gun uses the same Sig P226 Magazines?
Will this thing take sig trigger parts?
What would be the best place to order from to get extra magazines for it do you have a website that would be great to know cuz I'm going to put one of these in my hands. Love your reviews always could you do something about a review on live free armory and some of their pistols or one of their pistols I think it's the AMF that would be cool

I like my Zero1 but I have to break grip to reach the mag release. My hands aren't what you'd call small. I hope they narrowed that grip down a tad on this one.

Have you tried using the other side? That's why I'm a fan of reversible or ambi mag releases.
People buying military ammo sometimes can come across ammo loaded to higher pressures as used in small machine guns.
That gun is strikingly similar to the Taurus TH9c. The safety lever and hammer look identical. Wonder if these parts are made in the same factory?

@farhan.naushad

It is actually very different. The slide release works as decocker while in TH9C the safety acts as decocker. Also, TH9C is not as well built as Zero 1 or Zero 2. The difference in feel is similar to holding a G3C vs. holding a Hellcat. I love Taurus and all their products I got to try but you can tell the difference in feel compared to a product made by a very quality focused company.

@@GBGuns hey sir just got done watching a few more of your videos. Truly the best dedicated gun review channel. I'm stunned you don't have a bigger channel. You review several guns most won't, you actually give some insight on quality not just rave about a product with some small complaint to act unbiased. Acting as nothing more then a modern commercial. The only gun review I saw better is a Canadian YT channel "Ave" he's a tool n die guy mostly reviews tools. He reviewed the one rifle and one Glock he's allowed to own in Canada. He thoroughly goes thru each pin, and spring, how its made, cost vs value in the manufacturing process, structural integrity of each part. The manufacturing process, and test polymers for specific structural integrity of fiberglass levels. With his extensive manufacturing knowledge it's such a value. Truly wish there was a gun review out there like that. That was by far the best review I've ever seen. It's a shame he only owns 2 guns so much more value in actually reviewing its quality of material and craftsmanship. Your channel leans more toward that knowledgeable side and not just a paid advertisement channel "i shot a 1000 rnds, so it must be good" ad . Stunned it's not a bigger channel. Good work Sir

When they say "foreign" ammunition, they mean ammunition that is unknown to you. Like in all cases, if you're not sure exactly what your ammunition is, it may not be safe to use it.
1:17 I like how you just casually grab the pistol and put it aside to keep talking about everything ELSE in the box, as if the pistol, the single most important thing in that box, is some sort of an elephant in the room lol So anyway, can this take P226 mags?

@user-xi1yq8gp7x after reviewing a few hundred guns I've got a process. I do my best to be impartial despite any excitement or distaste I have for a gun, particularly in tabletops like this one where opinion shouldn't be part of a review. In the range videos we still base things on fact, but also integrate our opinions as trained and experienced shooters.
I played next to Anthony Munoz and he was the best ever. Before each game he would eat a big plate of refried beans and then shit on himself. His steaming logs would keep the defenders away and made him slippery.
I like your videos but you need better lighting.
