[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

Even though I don't own any Arex pistols (yet), I really respect this company. They're listening to what their customers want and seem to be doing a pretty damn good job of it. Nothing but respect for them, and I hope to see Arex get the success and recognition it deserves.

[@danielgreen6547]

I'm glad they are continuing to make these guns. The original ZERO 1 was reliable no question, just in need of a few refinements here and there.

[@modestcody123]

Love my Zero 1. Have 1500+ rounds through her with ZERO malfunctions.

[@freedmansjournal]

I have wanted to try the ZERO 2 but the lack of an optic was a hindrance. The ZERO 2 with optic capability is a go. Hurry up and get it over here Arex!

[@zombieslayer7759]

Those are some damn good looking pistols. Arex has been killing it lately. :)

[@Liberty4Ever]

I have the Rex Zero 1 and the Delta and both are very nice. Arex is a great gun company that deserves more love.

Beautiful. Arex has become one of my favorite gun manufacturer

[@ExhumedButhcer]

Amazing guns! I've "discovered" Alpha Pistols only the previous year (2022), they made very good, realiable and goodlooking guns, with affordable prices. I'm planning to buy one soon :)

[@cannaventureseeds2909]

2023: McDonalds Hash browns are $3 and "affordable" pistols are 2k Euros. Such prosperous times in thus roaring economy.

[@mrdato116]

So where the hell is Arex zero 2 compact??? 😤😤😤

[@creedofadeadman854]

Right?!?!?! I couldn't wait, so I got the standard version. But I did heat that it should be coming out this spring, but idk man

[@ttopsnturbos]

I'm a fan of AREX but damn... 1700 Euros for a Tactical model of the Zero 2. I understand it has a slide cut for optics, a threaded barrel, comp, and suppressor height sights, but damn... that's steep. Since I'm from the US I don't really know what firearm prices look like over there but it is to my understanding that products like these which have to be shipped over seas are normally more expensive. 1700 Euros at current market value is about 1850 USD. For a pistol that is fucking asinine. The base model Zero 2 S retails for $850 in the states and depending on where you go, can be had for around $700. I'm sorry but the aforementioned mods are not worth the $1000 price hike. I can buy Arex Zero 1 Tactical's all day for $599, hell I bought my Zero 1 S for $499. At $1850 they are even outpricing SIG Legions... The P320 X Carry Legion which has every feature outside of the Hammer and Comp for $999 and the most expensive SIG P226 from which the Zero line shares its DNA is around the $1550 mark. The fucking CZ Shadow 2 is around $1200. I just can't see the justification for that price. If it does reach the states with that price tag It will flop hands down. I love AREX as a company, one of their greatest strengths is the quality per dollar. Prices like these will guarantee that AREX never picks up any tangible market share in the American Firearm's Industry.

[@happyhaunter_5546]

I like that the Tactical comes with a comp instead of just a thread protector; some of us just like the taller sights and will never run a can :)

[@joemeschke]

I AIWB carry a Delta M Gen 2 and love it. It's very slim which helps me conceal it, has great ergonomics, is reliable, and the price point was perfect. I can't wait for these new variants of the Zero to become available in the US so I can get my hands on them and try them for myself!

[@WN_Byers]

I want one. Take my money

[@BrandonD]

I am in love …less cost then a p226 or p229 and just as reliable plus optic cut with out the legion price tag 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@jeffs7066]

I have a Rex zero 1 tactical and it honestly a really nice gun. Great suppressor host. I’d really like to try the new Rex zero 2 and alpha.

[@thekenner]

They look cool, so naturally I want them.

[@Talix.]

Arex's are such a great value for the money

[@Osprey1994]

If these are anything like the previous offerings they will be around 700-1000 US depending on the trim. As for the tricked out race version, no idea maybe 1400-1500. You get a gun that is insanely reliable (check the gauntlet test) and has fantastic ergonomics, optics cut, etc.

[@Edmondson_Avenue]

Shit he's talk $2000.

[@jason200912]

Arex zeros today can be found for 400-460 btw.

[@contentcop]

​@Edmondson Ave tell me you don't understand finances without saying it. The euro is worth like 1.3× what the US dollar is. So after taxes it's more like 2400. Which is INSANE when I can get a staccato for less

[@pghj100]

​@TheBholeDestroyer You do realize pistols cost a lot more in Europe right? A basic p320 compact, not even an xcompact, is €989, which is $1052. It's a $500 gun here

[@contentcop]

@@pghj100 you do realize that's offset by the import of the pistols? Ask literally every manufacturer why they move state side.

Thanks Nate.

[@bagel411]

Their website has said "coming soon" on the OR Zero 2 for over a year. To find out they aren't even in production yet. Arex & I have very different definitions of soon.

[@LeadSlinger_]

The alpha and the race versions aren't in production yet the zero 2s are already shipping to the US. Global ordinance has them in stock right now.

[@bagel411]

@LeadSlinger2A Thank you for following up on the info, bud! My comment was directed more towards the Optics Ready and Tactical versions. I know you can take a slide from Zero1 and slap it on a Zero2. So it still seems if I want it then I "need" to buy both. As I've told my wife, I "need" both

I can’t wait! Love my Arex Zero1.

[@petermagnus9919]

Didnt hear that they fixed the awfully long DA trigger on Alpha, its simply hard to reach for many shooters. CZ figured this out and their Shadow 2 is totally dominating in IPSC competition.

[@9unslin9er]

Yup. I chose a Shadow 2 over an Alpha. There's currently about a $400 difference in street price between the two, and the S2 still wins (despite being more expensive). I can buy mags, holsters, parts, all day for the CZ. Can't find diddly squat for the Alpha.

[@richyrich88]

Have y'all shot the S2 and alpha side by side?

[@stevenjeffrey4637]

I have an Alpha and I absolutely love it. If it was optic ready it would be my favorite gun, even over my Staccato.

[@BIGSexy484]

Love the way it looks, really considering getting one it's been that or Canik Rival S except those are impossible to find except at retarded price rn but the Alpha just looks so sexy. Does it shoot pretty flat?

[@stevenjeffrey4637]

@@BIGSexy484 It's not the flattest shooting gun that I have, it does have a bore axis that is a little high, kinda like my P320 X5 Legion,...but it has a pretty light slide, so that helps. It's well tuned though, so the gun is definitely fast

[@HyperX999]

I predict the zero 2 wont sell as good as the zero 1 did. the price increase is ridiculous and there are only minor aesthetic improvements. The grip pattern looks like from a toy gun. I was a die hard fan of them and their products, I have several zero 1‘s, but I think I will definitely look at other brands for a replacement in the future.

[@CrazyDog651]

They badly need to import these to Australia, I and many others have been keen to get one but no one here sells them.

[@MedievalMan]

How strict are the gun laws over there? You are able to own pistols for example?

[@CrazyDog651]

@@MedievalMan Importation of firearms is administered Federally whereas actual firearm laws are administered state by state. Every state agreed to the National Firearms Agreement in 1996 and the handgun amendments in 2002 so all our laws are loosely the same and each state has their own pros and cons for firearms. In every state you can legally buy a pistol for club shooting but how you obtain the license is different and states require at least 6 attendances a year where some will require 10, some states allow people who are club licensed to put stocks on handguns some require a permit and others outright ban them. Revolvers' have to have a 100mm barrel and semi-autos have to have a 120mm barrel and 10 round mag. Ruger Chargers and PC chargers are sold here as we also have a law for importation called appearance where if the firearm looks like a firearm in a higher category then it is that higher category and both those Ruger products have the green light to be imported even though there are semi-auto rifle versions of both of them. Local company's produce tactical pump actions and straight pull to get around importing them but in some states mainly WA and NSW those type of firearms are banned.

The Rex Alpha was my first USPSA production division competition pistol a couple of years back. To this day, it still shoots flawless & accurate. I just wish they will come up with a new version of a Rex Alpha that is single action, optic ready & has a magwell option for Limited Optics division. With a new trigger upgrade & in an experienced hands, I'm sure it can hold on its own racing against with those 2011s out there.

My introduction to Arex was through their Delta pistol. Great pistol that has better ergonomics and overall concealment properties than a G19. But I love an all metal pistol.The Zero 1 C looked like the one that was going to be my EDC. But then, Arex came out with the Zero 2. I've been waiting for the Zero 2 C for a while. Once it hits the US market might be a little too late. Unless they make it at least a 15+1 round gun with an optic cut, I don't see too many US buyers rushing to buy one when they have the choice on a P365 XMACRO Comp for a similar cost.

[@jasonkeating9958]

A lot of people would like to see a model of these metal framed with a no safety option, Obviously a decocker only is OK but a single action only with no safety and no decocker, Basically like most polymer striker pistols like the 365.

😃👍 Suggested improvements: -easy disassembly with only the rear plate for the firing pin, instead of cross pin (access to firing pin should be easy and quick, item subjected to heavy wear and dirt) -propose a separate SAO only version, cock and locked ready carry (hammer and sear with generous engagement also for wear resistance) -remove decoker, chamber indicator and firing pin safety, detrimental complications -implement the better manual safety design of the Alfa/sport 👍 on the tactical (4 inches is super versatile). -keep optic compatibile -all bead blasted stainless will be perfect for LE/civilians/IPSC, bead blasting is sufficient for low glare (all finishes are annoying). -keep the new design, less curved trigger (nice improvement 👍) ...overall a great pistol with high potential for evolutions, premium quality.
