AREX Rex Zero 1S Pistol - Slovenian Factory Tour!

[@tfbtv]

Great vid, Tim - That was my first time shooting the Rex, first time on a factory tour, first time in Slovenia, *and* the first time I met MAC. ...And also the first time I repeatedly asked "show me your boobs" in a foreign language. Full Slipper, brother.

[@ryanh.8401]

That was one of my favorite parts of the trip - especially at dinner.

[@Scientist_Salarian]

The TFB video is also excellent. I really enjoyed both!

[@tfbtv]

Thanks, Mark!

[@billpohlman803]

MAC-Thanks for the tour! I am sure that you had a great time in what looks to be a beautiful, historic country with proud people. Like the Canik55 produced cz75 upgrades and striker fired pistols, these firearms would be popular in the US if they had expensive marketing support. I was impressed with their manufacturing facility, and the only portion of the video I disliked was the fact that Trump was presented with a pistol! Anyway, glad you got a boar and maybe Canik 55 will sponsor a tour where you can get a "real" boar in Turkey-lol

[@billpohlman803]

TFB TV -Your wife is going to kick your ass!

[@wishuhadmyname]

So Slovenia has given us a kick ass pistol, Polenar Tactical, and the First Lady. I might have to make a pilgrimage there one day

[@Militaryarmschannel]

Pretty much. :) It's a small country (2m people) but they are movers and shakers.

[@obiwanschinobi]

" It's a small country (2m people) but we are movers and shakers." Tim, I'm steeling this one. As a local tour guide, I can make use of it! Don't worry, I'll quote you on that when ever I get guests from California. :D

[@obiwanschinobi]

Mexico City forgive my backward slovenian ways and bad spelling. My old computer does not have spelling checker and english is not my native language (read with Melania’s accent)

[@wishuhadmyname]

ObiwanSchinobi no worries. English is a trash language anyways

[@headkickko609]

Come on over, we'll go fishing, drink a beer, two, maybe eight....

[@PolenarTactical]

Amazing video, i really enjoyed it! I look strange in some parts but thank god there was James to make me look better :D This trip was definitely a highlight of the year for us. In 2018 we're coming to the US to visit! See you at Shot :) - Žiga

[@warhound45]

Thank you for video! Best technology, very accurate!

[@cramerlong2276]

Polenar Tactical *Enjoy my Dealings with you guys and your responsiveness to Facebook messages.* You were 100% on competition Springs in the 1S . What and Upgrade at a low cost!!!! Disappointed no *Manca* in Tim's Video. Always thought she was part of Polenar Tactical :)

[@MegadethTillDeth]

You guys kick ass!

[@KnifeCursed]

I really like that youth training program. We could definitely use more of that in the US.

Derek Cb some companies do Spirit Aerosystems in McAlester OK built a state of the art machining training facility at the local votech.

[@francostacy7675]

@@jtown9940 doesn't happen where I live. They make kids feel like they only have one shot of success in life and that's College. There is no training them for jobs for everyday life

[@Themayseffect]

@@francostacy7675 not sure where you live in US, but youth programs in engineering and machine work is offered everywhere in California and Texas that i know of. I'm sure it is in several states. We have thousands of youth programs when it comes to machine operating.

[@francostacy7675]

@@Themayseffect Thanks. They may but im not aware of any offered to my kids other than auto mechanics, woodworking and welding at some high schools and i was referring public schools at not post hs. Those dont always materialize into jobs rather than wetting an appetite for a post high school training. I was referring to a person exiting hs ready for a job market. Everything is geared toward post high school and a 4 year degree and manual jobs are not promoted like they used to be. I had 4 years of welding in high school and its not offered anymore. There was a plant that made barges so it was geared to them

[@obiwanschinobi]

I was waiting for this video for a long time, since I knew you were here. And it makes my heart sing! I mean, I worked in that castle for many years, the shooter in the vid was my martial arts instructor, my friend works in the AREX factory, met all this guys from arex before, was even followed by the AREX pick-up truck the other day. What a coincidence!!! No, actually it just means I live in Slovenia - a small country, where everybody knows your name (insert "cheers" music).

[@firefighting.responder]

I love Slovenia.and love the AREX pistols..

[@larrymarsico4059]

Ok, all i have to say besides i absolutely LOVE the ARex Zero pistols! And am VERY IMPRESSED with their factory, Q.C. etc... NOW how and WHO in the F*CK would or could even think about giving this video/tour a "Thumbs Down"👎!?!?!?!?! Like are you FCKNG KIDDING ME!?!?!?! #SeriouslyThough! Smfh! Thanks for the GREAT video as always Tim! And BiG THANKS to the FIME group and the GREAT people in Slovenia and the AREX factory for making such an incredibly GREAT pistol and giving us American's not only the privilege to own them but to let us come and take a factory tour etc... Thanks Again to you ALL!👏👏

[@terrygrossmann6125]

Fantastic video. I went to Slovenia in 1983. I went to Germany to visit relatives and they took me around Europe. The history there tremendous for us geeks who love history.

[@matejmatej3554]

No I know what took you so long to upload this video you were waiting for those two guns to be imported in the USA best video ever!!! And as always greetings from Slovenia

[@tessiebergeron4900]

The Rex is up there in the glory guns with hk! Love Rex and love hk! Two of the best pistols in the world

[@carltonlandry1972]

Great Video. I just purchased a Rex zero 1. Love it so far. Not knowing much about it, the salesman spoke highly of it.

[@Jesses001]

And all that for about $600. Seems like a rather fair price for such a nicely made handgun.

Just bought me a Rex 1S for $350 today. That's a hell of steal!

[@bwm3013]

@@victorayala3381 I’ll bite. Where did u get it?

[@ConservativeVet84]

Bought mine brand new. $320+$30 transfer fee. I’m very happy so far. Not an EDC though. 17+1 and already a heavy gun. Reminds me of the Beretta 92 I carried everyday in the military

[@ryanh.8401]

It was my first time meeting/hanging out with Tim and James and I had a great time with you guys. Would do it again anytime without hesitation.

[@Grevlain]

Not a fan of double/single actions, but that Alpha...THAT looks awesome. That factory looks like a high tech hospital. Extremely impressive. And that "New Country" pride in products is really refreshing. Outstanding vid, as always.

[@falconator3419]

I got mine this week and shot about 100 through it. Noe is one of my favorite guns from the many I own.

[@fernandovincenzini1664]

Greatest pistol. i just purchased the tactical version and it is phenomenal.

[@07zx14White]

Thanks MAC, fellow hoosier and many years a subscriber. I've wanted a Rex Zero 1 ever since the original gauntlet test but strangely I kept finding other things I wanted more. Finally I pulled the trigger on one all these years later. It's on it's way to me as we speak. Thanks again for the hard work and for the insight I desire.

[@felipe-nt-d]

This is one of the coolest gun videos, ever.

[@alexandruianu8432]

10:10 - Yugoslavia was not part of the Warsaw Pact, it was unaligned (technically relations with the SU varied over time).

[@UncivilizedMan]

Definitely true! Great comment dude...

[@Barbaroossa]

Yes, that's right. Tim probably thought of saying Communist block, but got confused and said "Warsaw pact".

[@jerridgossett62]

Wow!!!! So thankful I'm a patron. Thanks Tim, I'm getting an arex for Christmas!! God bless

[@Militaryarmschannel]

Merry Christmas my friend!

[@buckaroosol]

This should be on tv military channel. Fav firearm channel by far, definitely the most professional & informative for at least what I care about. Not just shooting Tannerite and fruit

[@lefty_3134]

I bought this gun before I saw any of these videos about it, and now I love it even more! Thanks guys!

[@designated_hitter_EGA]

Awesome and informative video. Thinking about purchasing an AREX, this video removed any apprehensions I may have had. The professionalism, quality control and pride in the manufacturing of these firearms are obvious. Thanks for passing this on to your viewers.

[@enahs5000]

That leaf tradition looks pretty cool

Very cool. I thought it was great to hear they bring kids in and train them how to run the machines.

I love this type of video, especially when it features multiple channels and gun right groups, media etc coming together to view a great product and where it comes from!

[@kenhelmers2603]

MAC your testing of the Rex Zero video got me seriously interested in the pistol. Its the first 9mm pistol I've actually wanted to own. Thanks very much for sharing your trip to their factory and the folks you got to hang with - very cool indeed. :)

Just picked my rex 1 cp up from the ffl yesterday. As a fellow Hoosier and fan of MAC I had to buy it from Copper Custom Armament. Maybe I'll get lucky and win one that you brought home. One of these days I'll make it up north and check out the shop. Keep up the good fight MAC!

Something refreshing to do here in the New Orleans area after our EPIC snow storm!!! I can't wait to go shooting this weekend at Honey Island and Hopefully get a Rex Zero 1 competition pistol in the near future. I want to compare it to my XDM and Smith and Wesson Performance Center competition pistols. Thanks MAC and James from TFBTV. You have re-envigorated my desire to shoot!!!!

[@richki.24]

I'm liking this pistol, I think I need one ...

[@ShadeAssault]

Great video! You edited it REALLY well. Usually you seem to have range videos where you first take everything and mash it together to make it look good (not a bad thing mind you), but this was a whole level higher. Almost felt like a professional documentary at points. I hope you get to take trips like this more often. Keep up the great work.

Tim, I purchased the Tavor SAR a few years ago because of your early coverage of it and IWI. Looks like you made me a believer of Arex. I appreciate your hard work. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@deplorabledave1048]

One of your better videos Tim. I love them all, but but this one was special. Anytime you go overseas at someone else's expense and get to have fun is a special video. Only problem is that it makes me so jealous. :)

[@ajdback]

Just discovered an added positive element to all of this social distancing and isolation. More time to discover things. I just discovered Rex Zero. Definitely looks a heck of a lot more then just a Sig lookalike. Especially after it outperformed Sig in the torture test. Wow. I guess from Slovenia and back might just be a wee bit better then Sig's "To Hell and Back" lol. Also it looks like at their factory they have excellent manufacturing, testing and quality control. Great review, thanks.

[@matthewmandregan1467]

I've been chasing the 226 dream for years. I hadn't even heard of the Arex until twelve hours ago. I'm really happy that I took the time to watch your gauntlet video. First impressions? I'll take the Arex first. Still gonna have that sig someday though.

I love watching your channel even though im canadian and can probably never shoot the firearms you shoot but I still love firearms

[@Militaryarmschannel]

Thank you for watching. I know it must be tough seeing what we can do down here, for now, in the States. But know this; I’ve been jealous of certain guns you guys get that I can’t get here in the “land of the free” because they’re banned. I want a QBZ95 very badly. I wanted the Tavor for years and we finally got that... But overall our gun laws in most states are better than in Canada. I hope you guys can peacefully fight to restore your rights someday.

Yankee marshal is jelly he didnt get to go on a tour

[@jegilbert911]

I bought one of these after the initial torture test video and had some issues with misfires. Turned out it was because of a lot of residual metal milling shards getting caught in the firing pin. Maybe it's common knowledge to do a field strip and clean prior to firing after initial opening. I'll be doing that from now on. Afterward, has been my favorite gun to fire. Amazingly accurate out of the box.
