I think it's for the German special forces tender. I think the CEO gave it away when he said "where i come from". All his prior companies are German firearm companies and he's a German guy working for a Slovenian company. He also gave it away when he mentioned special forces because the German special forces had the tender for a new handgun in 2023

O meu arex delta M gen 2 . E mais 6 amigos meus que adquiriram tivemos problema com a base (bampers) 15+2 do carregadores . Quando colocamos as 17 munições e deixamos cair no chão todos eles desmontaram. A DFA representante da arex aqui no Brasil fez a troca do bamper mandando outro igual que também não suportou a queda de 130 centímetros de altura. Depois eles mandaram outro bampers que é igual a da pistola Rost Martin RMC1 9mm que é um clone da arex. Onde resolveu o problema. Eu acredito que a empresa deveria fazer um Recall dessa base. Pois ela desmonta totalmente deixando seu proprietário em apuros. Eu gosto muito dessa arma e recomendo a todos. Parabéns pra empresa só precisando solucionar esse problema, espero que essa nova versão tenha se solucionado.

This is really cool as is the Arex lineup. If the Delta line had SC and/or MC models I would be 100% onboard their entire family of pistols.

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

Realistically, it could be done with a shorter mag and different grip module. It's already an extremely thin gun for an ambi traditional double stack.

[@AbsolutionArmament]

So, I saw an article of Arex having a new Alpha model there as well. Did you by chance get any time on it, is it mostly just a finish change with an optics mount or is there anything that would make it a major upgrade. The article I saw was pretty sparse. Edit: watching other videos from their delta lineup, Looks like they are also making auto switches for the contracts as well lol. and chassis for the delta.

[@gadgetstalker2]

My biggest gripe with the Delta I have is that the slide serrations are too shallow and the it is slippery to try to rack. I had to add a bit of grip tape to it. That new slide design is a huge upgrade.

I have a question. With a typical auto loading pistol where the slide shrounds the barrel, why not always just port both the barrel and slide to reduce pressure, blast, and recoil? It would cost very little, and it's free real estate no?
