I love my Arex delta gen 2s. The trigger is heavy and gritty at first, but after time it breaks in very nicely. Still heavy, but very crisp break and reset. Good little backpack gun.
I learned from another channel that if you polish a small piece on the rear of the internals of the trigger it will break allot smoother and a little lighter pull
Great value. My only gripe is the mag release. Just got the extended mag release, and although easier to depress, it almost over does it and the mag does not eject easily.
, yes about the trigger.. I thought there's something wrong w my unit.. 50 rds and still theres some kind of sand blocking the trigger halfway to shot..i how I don't get to spend too much money on ammo before that grit is gone
I put oil all over my internals and it really helped the grittyness of the take up and trigger pull. I even did it on the slide release so it takes less effort to drop the slide. I will eventually take everything out and polish it. Oiling everything is a quick fix.
Couldn’t say for all handguns, but for most modern striker fire handguns at least the process is very similar. For example the way this handgun breaks down is very similar to a Glock. And it’s not like you need exactly what he uses in the video but it’s a nice guideline to follow with the products you like or what you have.
I always use a can of compressed air for certain areas of my pistols. I pay attention to the striker channel to make sure its not getting gummed up. In most pistols this area needs to be cleaned but excessive oil or fluids are not recommended. I have seen torture tests done by M.A.C. where water can slow the striker down enough to affect performance but it was rare in most pistols.
I saw lots of Arex Delta Gen 2s this weekend at the Orlando Gun Show. Not bad looking and packaging seems decent. In fact better than most brand names without a case and pre-formed foam. I'm saving for some nice optics so I'll let this pass.
@@TacticalConsiderations Yes, I agree with the thinner profile. You've shot this a lot so I trust your observation regarding the snap. Maybe if my range is renting out this gun, I'll try it.
So much debate over that. Some oils/grease will litterally turn to concrete if not worked. but for the most part with regular maintenance its a non issue and use what you feel the best about. The lithium grease johnny glocks uses is really slick stuff but oils and greases have different properties like anti corrosion or rust so a combo may be something to use as well. Grease the areas that you feel need great and oil the rails.
What's your go-to solvent ? I had great success with Boretech products so far but it seems (that's just a supposition) that it attacks the TiN surface of my barrel.
Honestly I used to use bulk simple green lol. We cleaned our machine guns with it for years. But I use the breakthough clean now since its a bio degradable product.
Do you have any experience with jm custom kydex holsters? Looks like they finally came out with a G43x MOS TLR7 Sub holster. Which I’ve been waiting for. Definitely going to be checking it out
The is a striker block that will ensure the strike doesn't go through the breach face but the manual says to do it with a trigger pull I'm pretty sure.
It's a sick looking gun, just not legal in CA at the moment, which isn't cool. What is cool is how much this channel has grown in subs. Much has changed since I subbed when it was at 13k

Careful YT hates us. You know what they do.

For sure. There is some polishing and sanding that can really clean it up.
I learned from another channel that if you polish a small piece on the rear of the internals of the trigger it will break allot smoother and a little lighter pull
There are several places to sand a polish that smooth it out to 5lb or better unfortunately we cannot post that how to here

Polishing will do wonders on these when they are new.
Same. Just a drop where the exposed springs are and gtg.
I have the M (compact) model, in the same gray color. And it is an exceptional value.
I really like them.. I have the l and M.
I would like to carry it well I don't go out much.
Very informative and well done video. I've had the Arex Delta Gen 2 M for a while and absolutely love it. I've paired it with a Holoson 407K optic.
Great to hear!
Is it the same process with all handguns?

Modern strikers really close some have different oil points and all that.
Sweet! Let's see what we can learn today.... absolutely enjoy this channel..
Awesome thanks for watching.
Does it matter which way the Spring goes back in? Are both ends the same.
Always put the spring in the same way.

For sure man... I've fired flocks under water pretty crazy
Nice instructional video Mike. You also might want to try Dirty bore cleaner for cleaning and maintenance
I'll check it out!
Great video on the steps to clean the Arex. I need to grab some cleaning products so I will use your links here. Thank you ! Tim
Awesome! Thank you!

They are solid. Its odd to explain they are a bit thinner than glock lighter but perform really well. Snappier but return to target is almost perfect.
@@TacticalConsiderations Yes, I agree with the thinner profile. You've shot this a lot so I trust your observation regarding the snap. Maybe if my range is renting out this gun, I'll try it.
what's your opinion on using gun grease instead of oil??

Bernardo you are too kind brother thank you.
Thx man, really helpful. Subscribed!

The Arex looks pretty cool I need to try one out.
I have the M model and for the money it's a great little pistol.
They are solid.. Definitely clean and lube them very well before he range and it make a world of difference.

I don't .. My LAS with tlr7 Sub should be in this week.
Love the channel brother. Keep up the great content!💪🏼
Much appreciated.
@@TacticalConsiderations 💪🏼💪🏼
Does they have metal guide rods?
Yes they are metal
@@TacticalConsiderations I checked them out but they are not available yet.
They are available in the states global ordinance is the importer
@@TacticalConsiderations I like that gray one too. Do you recommend that firearm?
It's been solid I always recommend people get them in the range prior to purchasing
Seeing you in those gloves is a scary reminder that I have a urologist appointment soon! I'm glad he has fingers much smaller than yours!
Ooooooof those exams lol.
Thanks for the wisdom brother!
Thanks for watching.
Anybody know what sight fit gen 1 ? Heard XD did but they too loose in the gen 1. Went with tru glos. Sounds like some work some don’t
No idea.
Would love to see this compare to the Canik Mete
Great suggestion!
@H K Do you own both firearms?
Why?
I love that Lucas lubricant it works great on mine👍💯
great stuff for sure.
I don't even have this rooty-tooty, but love the video.
Awesome thanks buddy.
Pew pew. Hope all of y’all had a great day today Stay safe 💯n dangerous.
Always safe and dangerous brother.
You should blow things out with an air compressor too.. It helps blow out all the dust and loose carbon that you scrubbed free.
Agreed. I keep a can around. Blow out excess cleaner/oil. Striker channel very important you blow the gunk out!
Yup just cannot do that in my house. Wife would kill me.
@@TacticalConsiderations LOL, you have a garage AKA Man Cave?
115 in the summer man. No way lol
@@TacticalConsiderations They make Air Conditioners for your garage! LOL....
I'm buying the arex delta gen 2 and the Glock 43x, I'm looking for reliability in a gun, please someone give me their opinion
The glock is more proven.
very good cleaning video I do it them same way good job!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I really recommend this gun
I dig it solid choice
How close to the 1000 round reviews are you with the “L” and “M”?
I bit away man. Ammo has been on a strict budget since I got these. Hopefully by October I will have them all fired out.
Okay sweet! Thanks for the update
nice see people talking about non glock stuff
Lots more non glock stuff on my channel Enjoy.
Quick little FYI you don’t have to pull the trigger on the delta to disassemble 🙂
The is a striker block that will ensure the strike doesn't go through the breach face but the manual says to do it with a trigger pull I'm pretty sure.
Yes like I said striker block will work but manual says to do it regardless
I have to pull the trigger on my M as well. No other way? Not gonna break it so pull the trigger.
It's a sick looking gun, just not legal in CA at the moment, which isn't cool.

compatible glock sized ones have been working for me.

? So I can't just use carb cleaner (1 can per gun) then douse it with lube? Damn
Ahaahh well you can buuuut maybe doesn't end well over time.
Clenzoil Bore Sticks…you will thank me later
I will check for sure.
