Arex Rex Zero 1 S 9mm Pistol Review

[@sootch00]

2nd Strike Removed so we're back!

[@jeremy3546]

Glad to have you back!

[@johndilday1846]

sootch00 Yaay! I am very happy for you. They were wrong to do it in the first place and I am glad they have reconsidered. No doubt due to your many loyal fans raising a fuss. I know I did. :)

[@RJM1011]

WELL DONE. :)

[@ANTDZLVIZION]

sootch00 welcome back fella

[@Ultimatecoincrazed]

WTF sootch? What happened?

[@jeremyadams8035]

I bought 2 because of the Military Arms Channel and it's gauntlet run of this gun and the 1000 rds with 0 malfunctions in 14 mins. Yes....this gun is worth the money

[@RagnarOdinsson]

Arex owes MAC a commission. Sold me on one as well..

[@sootch00]

Agreed! Tim did an awesome job showing the capabilities of the Rex Zero. Thanks Jeremy!

[@braxtonmiller79]

Dude I bought my Arex because of his Sig vs the Arex Video also lol

[@andysalinas162]

Sweet! I been wanting a sig p226 only it is too expensive. Now I see this gun and pretty excited to get one.

[@mrowoofers101]

Not to mention that video where MAC done a torture test between the Sig P226 Legion versus the Rex Zero. A Legion of all 226 models. I no longer will need to get a P226 because the Rex Zero showed ten times the reliability for a fraction of the price and in my opinion, it's way cooler looking.

[@2Aknight762]

I have over 1200 rounds of steel cased ammo through mine and no problems, trigger has smoothed out and lightened about a pound.

[@RA-A_Stevareno]

Just bought mine beginning of December, out the door 450, couldn't be happier

[@grimflipz]

They make a nickel version that is absolutely gorgeous. Especially when paired with wood grips!

[@yenyen5518]

I love my Rex! I don’t have to worry about the grip , recoil is soft asf. I wasn’t much of a gun owner, but honestly I’m really glad I took 2nd amendments advice. Its a great gun for beginners , especially because the aim is so accurate and it’s safety .

[@MarkWilliams-w8g]

I own both the S and C models and love them, especially after only paying $325.00 for each for them on GB... I have a feeling these guns are going to greatly increase in value in the next few years so grab them while you can!...

[@Liberty4Ever]

I never was a Sig fanboy probably just because I thought they were nice but not a good value. I bought the Rex Zero 1 two weeks ago and put the Hogue grips on it and it's very nice. I'll probably upgrade the sights soon. It oozes quality. Major Slovenian win!

[@justinv3080]

Liberty4Ever the current night sight offering isn't great, I'm holding out for a higher quality set.

[@Liberty4Ever]

I'm of the same opinion. With the way the Zero 1 is selling, there will be a lot of after market accessories soon. The Hogue G-10 grips are good to go, but I paid $73 delivered. It'd be nice if there was a $45 option.

[@justinv3080]

I have seen people stipple the stock grips and they looked good

[@sootch00]

Agreed. The Rex Zero 1 is a high quality handgun. Thanks brother

[@justinv3080]

Papi Maximus Why pay almost double the price for the same quality with a different name??

[@Brimwald]

Perfect pistol for Arex to make a 10mm version

[@richardt3744]

It was wrong for them to knock you off anyway. You have always exhibited excellent firearms safety. Glad to have you back!

[@MrHav1k]

Arex made a better Sig than Sig did themselves LOL

[@SkinnyMedic]

Welcome back sir!

[@sootch00]

Thanks D!

[@ddw76y]

I just received an Arex that I purchased last week. This is one sweet pistol. Accurate, feels good in my hands, and light recoil. I had the range armored change out the grips and it felt and shot better. We compared it to the P226 they were selling and man, they look like exact copies. I need to get a holster and it may be my # 1 EDC. Thanks for the great review.

[@Awolf3766]

Yup, totally agree, got my 01S last April and really enjoy shooting it, such a tank of a pistol.

[@bigbadfnmonkey]

Glad your back bro Sootch! Got to shoot a Rex Zero compact the other day, alongside my Sig P229, and in performance and shoot-ability, it stacks up just fin(M)e!I always enjoy your reviews sir, best wishes, MIKE.(BTW, i like that long, smooth 1st shoot in dbl. action, which is how I would carry this pistol, 1 in the chamber & hammer down)

[@evanweightman527]

Great gun review, thanks. I’ve seen these before at gun shows, but flew beneath the radar, at least until now. I’ll give it a more thorough look now.

[@CmdrLOBO]

Excellent video Sootch. Thank you. I really dig my Rex Zero 1 Pistol. After I added the Hogue grips & the TruGlo tritium night sights it eliminated any short comings it may have had. Very fun and dependable handgun. The Hogue Right Hand OWB Holster has served me well as I take my Rex on trail rides with me.

[@TrailsNThings]

Welcome back Sootch00. I truly love your videos! Love the quality of my ReX for the price. I added the grips from Kvar and it was worth it to add those in my opinion. I also love the decocker/slide stop combo!

[@lostinthoughts13]

Similar to the zastava cz999 which is really similar to the sig.

[@joefair4139]

Sootch, when I watch you shoot, you seem so smooth. Your transition from target to target seems effortless. I would love to spend the day with you getting some shooting tips. Great review! I really enjoy your videos.

[@6548ww]

KZbin will wind up in a class action Lawsuit before its over with-its coming, and we are glad to have you back sootch00

[@FunWithGuns]

Glad you did a video on this one Sootch!! I've always loved the P226 but starting to favor this one over it because of the cocked and locked capability. Think Imma pick one up very soon.

[@Jelsick]

Welcome back. I never miss your reviews. I like your wide variety of firearm closeups, from pistols, high power rifles, to .22's.

[@braxtonmiller79]

Hey what’s up. Yea man I love my Arex Rex Zero 1s in Fde. I drive a tractor trailer and I listen to you Videos as I’m driving down the road all the time. I just wanted to say thx for all your awesome work that you do for all of us in the GUN CULTURE.

[@BigJohnsonGG]

Really love my Arex, I have the FDE K-VAR grips on mine & it really makes a big difference. I have done many vids on mine as well, it’s a beast! Carry On

[@ChrisRoblesSenior]

Big Johnson Guns and Gear just subbed because you're a Texan!

[@BigJohnsonGG]

ChrisRoblesSenior Thanks Brother 🤘🏼 Carry On

[@sootch00]

I really like the FDE Frame. It's looks fantastic. Thanks Brother

[@BigJohnsonGG]

Chris Indermuehle I CC my S, however it’s all up to you and your body type. It’s like CC a Sig 226 so you could put your hands on that & decide. Carry On

[@b3877896]

Glad you're back, Sootch! Keep up the great work.

[@richki.24]

The more I look into this Rex Zero 1 the more I like .... I think I might need one ...

[@jlaw9336]

Thanks for doing this was unsure until now..Going to get one on your review!

[@dcshoes963]

Good luck with KZbin, Don I really hope they don't take the channel down.

[@sootch00]

Thanks Ryan! We're back after having the 2nd Strike Removed.

[@jonathanhudson4623]

If you can't find him on here check for him on full30.com

[@tonygomez545]

Just bought this gun and i absolutely love it.

[@justinv3080]

I have the full size 1S with the black Hogue G10 grips, they make a huge difference! Lots of Holsters starting to become available too like copper custom, alien gear, black arch and Craft leathers

[@sootch00]

After market accessories are coming more and more. It's a solid handgun. Thanks Justin!

[@jasonmatthews1585]

I love the production quality of your videos! The opening intro showing you shoot is awesome followed by the detail review of the firearm! Much love from Raleigh, NC!

[@call4770]

Glad to have you back Sootch!

[@bavarianshooter]

looks like a P226 and an USP created a baby... i like it!

[@ianmacbrooke4617]

Welcome back bub. We need the good guys out here. TTFN and God Bless.

[@nickschwear1610]

That clip at 8:47 was badass! Good review as always

[@delficrakle4508]

Love the look of this pistol. On my list.

[@sootch00]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@ShowemRight]

Now thats a fine looking Pistol, so is the BERSA TPR9. Nothing like all metal 9mm pistols with hammers, and all the other features, Great Presentation sootch00 as usual.

[@thespankdmonkey]

Looks like a very nice choice if looking for something similar, yet different, than the 226. Love to see the finegroup out of Vegas handling this pistol. May buy more than one. Compact, full size, FDE etc.!

[@ZFlyingVLover]

Arex is compared to basic Sig p226 A) $300 cheaper B) front slide serrations C) has a safety AND a decocker But I still love my sig p226. I might buy one of these rex zero 1's in the compact size. The Rex compact is cooler looking than the sig p229. Then again already have a CZ75D PCR that I like alot too.

[@roguedragonfly]

Primary firearm for EDC is a Cajun Gun Works modified PCR. I have a couple SIGs (P320 and a Legion). This completely intrigued me and I placed an order for the Zero 1s tonight.

[@Knight_of_the_Old_Code]

Glad to see you're back, Sootch!

[@jaimeavasquezjr6843]

So what were the strikes about, some 5-10 year old video on bump stocks or something arbitrary on KZbin's part? KZbin better realize that we're here to watch people that interest us, not what they think is best for us.

[@sootch00]

No bump stock videos received strikes. The first strike was on AR basic Stock videos and the 2nd Strike was on upgrade accessories for the AR. All are Bogus and we're still fighting the 1st Strike. Thanks James.

[@jaimeavasquezjr6843]

sootch00 I know you said your bump stock videos weren't the ones to give you the strikes, but it reminded me of CNN's video on a regular collapsing stock acting like bump stock with the grenade launcher. I laughed at that video but it also disillusioned me that some KZbin engineer saw that video and perhaps made a ridiculous connection between the two. Keep up the fantastic work.Here's the link and thanks for commeting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaSwnGyQfNiYi7s

[@j.d.williams6882]

I was looking for a DA/SA pistol that wasn't gonna break the bank. Did a bunch of research and saw the guantlet video and was very impressed. Upgraded the grips and added night sights and we are good to go. Great video sir!

[@j.d.williams6882]

@@SlowBurn21 the Hogue grips. Really like them.

[@olrak182001]

Greetings from the Philippines! Glad to hear that your channel is back!

[@joemo1033]

I like how the decocker and slide lock are the same lever. Can't think of a reason it would be a problem, and it's less shit on the side of the gun. Very cool.

[@abassplayer4life]

The Rex 01 kicks out those shells like the peanut guy at the ball game.

[@GunPartsbyTeddy1911]

Welcome back my real genuine American brother.

[@littleteethkeith]

Welcome back Sootch. I love you man.

[@penguru21]

So glad to hear that!!!! Love your channel!

[@nathanhoard3421]

Just picked one up and 100 rounds in no malfunction love it already

[@crestiesmb75]

Great to see you back.The trigger wouldn't bother me,want a compact,just carry like a 1911.

[@SolzhenitsynBoogie]

Thanks for the time and effort. This channel is really wonderful.

[@settleschris1965]

Love em so much I have three. Waiting on a .45 version.

[@bach5780]

I really enjoy mine too. My only beef if that with an empty mag inserted, the slide release doesn't work if I pull the tension back on the slide.

[@albion6606]

Very nice pistol from Slovenia. Excellent video. Thx sootch00.

[@bisonuberti]

This Arex Rex reminds me of my old Interarms Firestar. I believe I purchased about thirty years ago.

[@justinv3080]

bison uberti The Rex is based off of the Zastava CZ99/EZ9/EZ99 which borrowed heavily from the Sig

[@ryangi5]

Do you know how to tell if Sootch likes a gun? During the scenes when he's shooting, if he's smiling while shooting, he likes the gun. Watch the shooting scenes here. No smiles! I'm starting to wonder if Sootch actually likes shooting at all. I've seen him review several very nice guns, and I have yet to see him actually smile while firing the gun!

[@randy464]

I have one and it's scary how well it shoots. Kool Aid smiles at the range.

[@scottpratson7766]

Just bought one today didn't know anything about them but the pickings are getting slim out there now that Uncle Joe is in charge. Glad to see the good reviews. Actually my first weapon figured I'd better get one before I cant.

[@roguedragonfly]

Excellent choice for a 1et firearm!

[@anthonyreyes3922]

I have a sig p226 west German that was my mom's service pistol and have been interested in acquiring a modern version of it and I think I'm gonna grab this one

[@mleko80rt]

Swietna prezentacja, za którą bardzo jestem wdzięczny. To będzie mój pierwszy pistolet. Pozdrawiam serdecznie.

[@Surago]

So in love with this gun. Glad I bought one.

[@waltbeach522]

Glad that second strike got removed. Just keep on what you are doing. Great job

[@sootch00]

Thanks Walt! I appreciate it Brother.

[@AndrewZabel]

strike?! for what?

[@danncann4889]

Walt Beach n

[@largo5348]

This has to be my next purchase. I've only bought Sa/Da hand guns and all of reviews on the Arex are very positive.

[@barryfields2964]

I really like the decocker and a safety so it gives you the option to carry cocked and locked 👍. Kinda like the Taurus PT92

[@gerardorockerman69]

Kind of Beretta 92 Taurus is a clon

[@firet101]

I've heard great things about these guns and the price has dropped since this video was made even with elevated prices my local gun shop has them for 475 now

[@devildog_iii3492]

Welcome back!! Love my Rex

[@bisonuberti]

Welcome back Sootch. I called... I wrote... I e-mailed. Shoot lots and stay safe.

[@sootch00]

Thanks Bison! I appreciate the support Brother!

[@dee7976]

Great video like always. Let me ask. Where do you get your shades? I really like them.

[@davidlamberson5435]

Very smart features

[@obeythehustle]

Man😮😮

[@dougwilliams8602]

I like mine. Had to adjust rear sight just slightly. All screws came lose after each session. I used some locktight

[@ferebeefamily]

Great review. Thank you.

[@intelmike181]

Those who are wondering the competition triggers are going to be available sometime in 2018 and will be compatible with all arex zero 1, full-size and compact.

[@filippocorti6760]

Good seeing your human side at the end of the video. So many want to be seen as badass or perfect these days.

[@MrMarkmac85]

Keep up the good work Sootch.

[@VSO_Gun_Channel]

Woot, made the vid!! 🙃

[@leetexas3924]

lots of features and great price.... thanks for the review God Bless

[@1900stratoliner]

This is the freedom of ideas platform..........Right ? I was wondering when you would get to this pistol. great review. I really like my Zero 1.

[@GoddessofGrunge]

I'm glad they removed the strike!! Anyway I held one of these in a shop and the bore axis is high but it feels really good in the hands, and it's great quality. Great review, keep up the good work!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@kennelson8452]

Seems like a good lawyer proof nightstand gun. All metal decocker thumb safety light rail. Good house gun.

[@wooddawg4868]

This is one hell of a pistol that has everyone talking. This proof that others can make good/great firearms as well as anyone.

[@aldoerja]

Thanks for this review. I've been interested in this pistol since it came out, but my wife says I have enough pistols. So I might buy HER one.

[@yenyen5518]

aldoerja i wasn’t much of a gun lover , until I bought this gun. I’m sure she’ll love the control on it!

[@Kauffman578]

No, you do not have enough, gun pistols. What is she? Your mother?

[@harpseal9234]

im only now finding out about this beauty. its got a dark earth version too. and its cleeeaan!!

[@MrRanger59]

It remindes me of my Zastava EZ999 with a frame safety.

[@douglasfrazier811]

back in the arena.... of good courage!

[@nikolatica4618]

Great review and comparison The Arex is a realy nice Sig Baby improved and reliable. It is a good improvement of her basis the Zastava 999 or EZ9 Greetings from Switzerland

[@christopherflesner8095]

Don't get me wrong... I'm glad that you're back, but damn you for showing me another sexy pistol. Now that has been added to my list of pistols to buy which had been getting shorter. Great presentation and again, glad to have you back.

[@sootch00]

Too many guns, not enough funds : ) Thanks Christopher!

[@TheOldMachines]

This is what the military should have adopted! Fantastic firearm

[@johnpagdilao6075]

So glad to see the second strike get removed! I am a big fan of the Arex. I'm looking at one of the compact versions. I like to think the Arex is a Sig without the Sig price tag.

[@Jeff.Schuld]

Hell ya ur back!!!

[@bigc7710]

Welcome back Soooooooootch!

[@sootch00]

Thanks Corey!

[@ryanc629]

Great video scotch! Been wantin' a rex for a while, just waitin' til I can afford one (daughters runnin' me dry lol) long live the republic brother!!!

[@miophx8283]

I love my Rex Zero One and my Rex Delta.

[@TiborasaurusRex]

With a name like that, it has to be good :-)

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Another great review Sootch00. If i had the money i would definitely buy a Arex Rex over a Sig any day. Always long live the republic

[@slick4401]

It's prettier than the Bersa TPR 9, the quality is great and the finishing gorgeous, but I have shot both and the Bersa has a much better trigger and better grip. It shoots just as well or better, cost less and is built like a tank.

[@dedpull7799]

Slide serrations on the grip? What? JK!!!! I love your reviews Sootch, thanks for all your time and effort! Especially since KZbin is alienating so many content creators these days! God bless you and us all. Semper Fi America!

[@bigblockcrx]

Does the mag release rattle with a mag in?

[@TheOutlawHatfield]

dang it sootch ..now you've got me reconsidering getting the 2022

[@MRcucchie]

BEST CHANNEL

[@weedXD38]

Nice to see ya back!! Excellent Review , price point cheaper than the P226..

[@sootch00]

Thanks Weed! It's much appreciated!
