The "Sig"ness- vol 1.

[RustyHornet]

Anyone in here had their hands on one of these?

I haven't, though I'd like to test one. They're supposed to be quite similar to a Sig, but at around $600 or so, I'd prefer pay the extra money for a Sig and have the aftermarket support for sights, holsters and such.

They do look interesting though?

You can get CPO Sigs in .40 cheaper than $600 right now.

P226 and P229 right at $475-$520.

Yep, did exactly that to get my P229 and it's a great way to go. I just meant at the retail level, you save money on the Arex, over the Sig, but that comes with some caveats. I'd much rather pick up a Sig, especially a CPO Sig that's even less expensive than the Arex

That said, I'd still like to get my hands on one

Great pistol, one of my favorites. That was the one that made me fall in love with their short reset trigger.

So there isnt anybody that has personally held and shot the Rex Zero 1?

No, I have not seen one in real life yet. and I have been looking... but the gun shows I go to are fairly small.

I keep reading reviews and such talking about how it's "half the price of a Sig", which isn't true. I've priced them through GunWatcher and they seem to be selling around $600 at the lowest, while a comparable P226 is around $800 - $850. Saving ~$250 or so would be nice, but not at the expense of third party sights, accessories and parts, to me. If they were truly half the price, at around $400 or so, I would grab one. At the current price it isn't worth it to me.

I agree. Even at half the price, it would probably be like those FEG HiPowers to me. Something I look at when I go to the gun show and think, $400, I should get one and try it out, but then never do it.

This is true, but I am very sick and after reading all the reviews I just want to shoot one!

I would love it if a local range had one to rent. I'd love to try one out, just for giggles...

 

[BiscuitsandGravy]

Same here. Would like to handle a Rex Zero 1 but seem to be hard to find. If all the CPO or Dept trade in 226's weren't .40 I would have a .226R in 9mm by now. For used, all you see are .40 226's.

IIRC, Buds had them for around $550 but are sold out. They do show a used one for $509 though. Given the reviews, I'd give one a shot if I had some spare cash around. Spare cash is hard to come by though since there are never ending projects in line to be worked.

I picked up a new P-220 Carry SAS Gen 2 over the weekend, I didn't think I would like the E-2 grips, so I ordered Hogue rubber side panels.
I actually like the E-2 grips, I love the gun but one thing I absolutely HATE is that trigger !
It has too much of a curve to it, and it cause me to get pinched every time.
I went to Brownells looked at a replacement that is more like the P-229 trigger , I hesitated to order it for reason unknown , went back last night and they are now on back order. So for now I will deal with the trigger until they ship my replacement when they get them in stock.
