Arex Delta Maritime NATO Contract Pistols

In this episode of TFBTV Show Time, @JamesReeves visits the Arex booth to learn about their new maritime-oriented and extremely well-featured Arex Delta pistols made to fulfill a contract from an unnamed NATO partner. These handsome pistols are duty guns that are basically one step away from competition pistols while also being optimized for maritime operations.

[@Nadaters]

i must've had a dud. first time shooting mine it was a bolt action and failed to feed every time. will probably send it for warranty work but it seems like a hassle. might try polishing feed ramp like some other threads say

[@Micah6.8]

The Arex website claims that their all-metal Zero 2 line comes in three different variations. However, only the Zero 2S is featured on the webpage. I have been waiting for a long time for more information about the Zero 2 Tactical model. I'd like to know if Arex plans to release the Zero 2 Tactical pistol in the United States.

So that's who the contract is for. I was thinking Slovenian military or possibly German.

[@ribtips305]

It's either German or French, not American, Canadian or English... maybe Turkish but doubtful since they have a very healthy gun manufacturing industry. It's not Eastern European.

[@GaTiger11]

@@phillipm.4252 I was thinking it might be for Poland because they have been on a military arms buying and modernization spree over the last few years.

@@phillipm.4252 I'd also guess germany. He does have an accent I guess and at 4:30 he says "It's not only NATO, it's like... where I come from, so it doesn't get more complicated than that". Then again you could argue that every government is bureaucrazy.

[@FRMN8R_T4R]

The AREX Deltas are EXTREMELY underrated. Gotta be one of the best duty-grade carry guns out there. Can't be beat at that price point.

I have a Delta Gen 2 and I would love those slide releases, mag funnel, and long slide + barrel + comp to be available at some point.

[@jamessavent3636]

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

[@puma51921]

Cool looking break.

It just hit me that this looks like the kind of weapon a Resident Evil character would spawn with in Mercenaries mode.

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

Oooh, that is one long slide/bareel combo. IIRC the Delta Grey Wolf which has yet to come out had a 5 inch nonthreaded barrel, mayhaps this is around 5.5 inches threaded? Very, VERY much want.

[@milsurprifles]

That comp looks ridiculous IMO, but the rest looks good. I have a Rex Zero 1 TC and it’s super nice. I’d love to get an Alpha and maybe one of their poly guns too. From my sample of one, they make very high quality firearms.

[@dontcarejustwatchvid]

That firearm was actually very interesting for a military purchase.

[@damiansutube]

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.

[@wcstrawberryfields8011]

More capacity than a G48 and easier to conceal than a G19.

[@ubertuna1]

This thing looks absolutely wicked. I was sure this was going to be some $1000+ designer bullshit handgun, but these MSRP for less than $400! WTF That's awesome!!!

I get these are not loaded guns, but did I pick up James moving out of being flagged? Never been to a gun show so not sure the etiquette on behaving like you would anywhere else and make SOME attempt to not flag people? I have a few Arex Delta pistols, I like them for the budget/value

[@raymondberg7385]

My guess is that because there is no ammunition in sight and no firing pins installed. I do not know protocol but i would not be suprised if every firearm had to be inspected before being allowed on the floor.

[@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.

[@leloz.9814]

Hey Arex, what about the Rex Zero 2 Compact? I am still waiting for that beauty!

[@wcstrawberryfields8011]
