@@GBGuns 92...really? Those were outdated boat anchors before the Army adopted them! Only thing they are good for is reliable suppressed shooting, if you have a threaded barrel.
Thank you for bringing these manufactures to light and reviewing their guns. This seems like a really nice option. I like how Arex angled the sides of the trigger. Looks like one to check out!
The mag release is very sticky at first, BUT, Arex does offer an extended mag release that makes it a million times better. The Delta M has become my EDC . Very accurate, a little snappy, but not worse than any other lightweight 9mm. Great piece! Just a heads up, but it is a chassis system. The trigger group is the serialised part, like the P320. And it takes P320 sights.
I already wrote a long assed comment to this video, so I don’t know what else to say LOL That insert also includes the rules for gun safety. I thought that was a nice touch for new gun owners. Very much looking forward to yours and Teya’s opinions. I know you’ll love it. Great flat shooter, especially when it’s “broken in!” What’s For Dinner should be interesting....
Very pleased with my Delta L OR so far. Great feeling in the hand. Very light and svelte. Triggers a little heavy but crisp. Should lighten up after a few hundred rounds. Extremely simple internals. Haven't shot it yet. Please don't let me down Arex when it's time for the range.
Excellent review! I just bought the same one today except mine is used. Paid $300. I got the price reduced by $50 because it had been in the store for awhile. Nice gun. Looking forward to shooting mine.
i recommended this gun to a coworker & he bought the fde m version. before he shot it, he mounted a burris fast fire 3. he had several failures to go completely into battery. after polishing the feed ramp, it has performed flawlessly.
@@2agunguy5 that's really disappointing to me for arex quality control. they did so good with the zero 1 guns. i fell in love with the zero 1, after shooting it at my local range. not to mention the fact that the zero 1 was one of the few guns that made it all the way threw military arms channel's gauntlet with a pass.
@@cliffordmurdock2407 that Rex Zero gauntlet test was one of the reasons I had so much confidence in buying the Delta mod 2, I really liked everything about it except it just didn't obviously perform at the range, the other thing was the mag release was so stiff I would have to break grip completely to get a mag out. It made my first gen CZ P10c seem amazing! Watch Honest Outlaws first review of the Delta Mod 2 he had some of the same issues I had, but mine was worse than his.
Thank you l was one of the people wanting the Arex Delta gen 2 reviewed just got the X model monday haven't shot it yet it feels good in the hands it also felt familiar it took me awhile to figure it out it feels like my Taurus TX22 in the hand can't wait for what's for dinner testing and to bust a 100 or more rounds through my Arex Delta X the slide is thin and tapered and not much bigger than the Sig P365 slides width for a gun in this size or class it's thinner than most guns this size yes thinner than your Glock 19 if the Arex Delta gen 2 performs as good as it feels in my hand I'll be wanting a subcompact or a micro compact model
I dont have one but rented a first gen at local indoor range , very flat shooting gun and good ergonomics. i say its a sleeper. another gun i want to see a tabletop review is the new Rock island armory STK100 aluminum framed glock. thanks for the review.
Cz p10 mags work in this pistol. I have the 1 gen but did not like the grip but it shot great, but uncomfortable in hand. I bought a new grip frame from arex and what a difference it made 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
They don't drop free and the mag catch is even stickier. But they work great. I have a P09, so I bought several of the P09/P10C mags to use as rage mags and "extendos". Keep a flush fit in the gun, and a 19 rd with an additional +2 baseplate for a 21 round reload by the bed.
The only thing that stopped me from being interested in the delta was the (imo) absolutely hideous frame in the gen 1. I kind of really want one of these gen 2s now
Got one at the shop I work at and took it out to put in the display case. Started checking it out and thinking "I need to buy this". Customer walks over to see and after holding it says "I'll take it". Guess I'll have to wait for another to arrive.
Great review Graham! Their website indicates this gun is a “true double action striker-fired pistol” that is inherently safer… Could you elaborate on what they mean by that when you do your range review and whether it is similar to a true DA hammer fired gun like your Grand Power? I believe they also mention it has 3 safeties and I’m not sure what they are besides the trigger blade safety…
I'm not sure about the true double action as the striker is armed upon the slide closing. As far as other safeties it has a trigger safety, safety plunger (like Glocks and most other striker guns), perhaps a drop safety of sorts, but I didn't look for one.
Looks interesting. I am really wanting an APX Target (am happy enough with the APX's I already have, and have mags, holsters, etc), but am getting impatient for another batch to get imported. Am thinking an Arex Delta L or Masada could scratch my Optics Ready itch...
This gun looks interesting, however aftermarket parts are a must. Everybody needs to make it theirs. Non availability of aftermarket parts is the main reason and cause of their demised. Affordability is key but parts are necessary to make the longevity even longer.
They are available direct from Arex. I have already received a grip module, extended mag releases and the trigger dingus. It takes Sig P320 sights and uses glock springs.
In as much as I agree with you, that’s not enough. If that was the case, the improvements should have been installed in the first place . Not wishing to deny a business any money, make the gun with the improvements in the first place and make the gun a household name, then make other improvements- in my opinion
Thanks, it's been a long fight with TH-cam. At one point during my debate they even had me upload me press credentials, scanned copies of printed articles I've written, STILL got nowhere. I offered to fly to San Francisco and meet with them, work with their policy teem and help them understand what they're looking at.
Yes. The M can use P10C or F and the L can use P10F length. They look a little funny and don't drop free, but function perfectly. I have a Gen 1, Gen 2 L and M. I plan to trim back the dust cover on the L frame to match the M slide length, then I can mix and match the slides and frames as I want. I can even make the 15 round, long barrel that Graham wished for in the video. Or I could just buy an X size frame for 49 euros from Arex.
You can't beat the recoil reduction of Grand Power's action, and I prefer hammer fired over striker, but that doesn't make the Delta any less of a gun.
Is the FN 509 so pricey because of the dual push button slide release? It seems to be the only one that’s been done well. (Talking about only push button, not paddle). The price of a 509 always kinda irked me, what if that’s what people are paying for? 😂. AREX should have taken note from when CZ tried with P10 and went to reversible after people complained of stiff mag and slide release. They fixed the ambi slide release issue without changing anything, but had to change mag release to reversible. There’s a reason Walther, S&W, Glock, and Sig all went with an ambi reversible button mag release. It can be done and done well, but a good leverage point within the confines of a mag well is difficult. only higher end pistols seem to pull it off, so there’s probably something to that. If trying to make a budget pistol, just go with reversible.
Okay, this is like the third video in my feed in the past 24 hours on the Delta gen 2. Are they pushing a new model or something? This has been out for a while. Edit: I just realized from their site they claim the gen 2 frames are compatible with gen 1 parts. I wonder if this means I could get a frame safety gen 1 and fit it to a gen 2 frame. It almost looks like it has blanks that can be cut out.
I thought by waiting this long I'd be clear of all the paid advertising. It turns out they must have a new campaign or something. We are not part of that campaign, we don't accept payment for making videos, we just had so many subscribers requesting we cover this gun that we bought one.
@@InvidiousIgnoramus Thank you. It's frustrating because we've wanted to try this gun, but the storm of laid reviews that came out made us wait (so people don't assume we've sold out) and just as we bought the gun it appears a second wave of ads has been purchased.
I believe that this latest flood of videos is mostly due to the fact that there are finally guns for unpaid reviewers to buy and shoot. It's been nearly impossible to get one for a long time.
I had an AREX Delta Mod 2 M, had nothing but feeding issues with factory ammo, choked on everything. Check out Honest Outlaws review he had same issues! I thought wow cheap, thinner than a gkock19, almost the same weight as a P365xl, 17 rounds, hey maybe mine was just a 1 off turd... Anyway that was my experience...sold it I have other pistols that have never choked on anything that I will trust my life to.
Looks like a square-ish Glock. Everybody wants to make *"their"* Glock instead of innovating a fresh new design. I know, I know why spend a lot of R&D money to make a new design when you can just copy the World popular Glock and put you name on it. That's capitalism.

@@CHEECHMUN someone else told me the same thing.. I have some ordered now.. hope so.. thanks..!
@@gbii8101 You're welcome. It should tell you if it would fit. You have to make sure when ordering, or else it's a pain returning stuff. Good luck.

Timely; my new Grey “L” will be here today! Thank you for the informative review.
Thank you. More will be coming once we get this thing to the range!
This is why I got this gun, it was perfect and first shots were perfect. I actually went with the compact over the 4.5inch just preference
Now, this one looks very interesting to me. After selling my Sig, this might be a replacement. Let's see the shooting impressions!! Thanks for this.
Hope yours is as fun as my Gen 1.
This was the first handgun I ever bought that felt like it was made for me.
Very pleased with my Delta L OR so far. Great feeling in the hand. Very light and svelte. Triggers a little heavy but crisp. Should lighten up after a few hundred rounds. Extremely simple internals. Haven't shot it yet. Please don't let me down Arex when it's time for the range.

Slide is not tight to allow liquids and particulates to drain out of the pistol.
There is little bit of wear because Arex actually tests all their products for quality checks before sending them to venders.
Nice looks better than glock and you get more from it and are priced properly
Most modern pistols are years ahead of Glock.
That opening text is great. Ridiculous that it needs to be included, but great nonetheless.

Most of my Grand Powers are just as smooth from either side, but you're right, most other maker's ambi mag releases are incredibly stiff on one side.
