As part of a star-studded cast (i.e. James Reeves), Tim Harmsen from the Military Arms Channel traveled to Slovenia for a tour of AREX’s pistol manufacturing facility. Besides a detailed look at the AREX Rex Zero-1, the new tournament-ready Rex Alpha and quality time with the crew of Polenar Tactical, MAC and crew went on a hunt for wild Russian Boars.

The video, shot by Tim’s teammate Phil Yunker of Vanguard Media, is a high-quality production that dives in to the meticulous manufacturing of AREX’s line of pistols. In fact, MAC put 1,000 rounds through an imported Rex without a single failure or stoppage over a very short amount of time.

If you are jonesing for additional James R. facetime and looking to watch an all around solid video, check out the embedded MAC link below.


If you don’t already, head over to the Military Arms Channel on YouTube and give them a follow. Tim’s reviews are always thorough and refined. Also check out their retail firearms site Copper Custom.

We pack our bags and meet up with the good folks at FIME Group and AREX in Slovenia for a factory tour! Yup, had the distinct pleasure of taking a tour with some other media folks including our friend James from TFBTV. The Polenar Tactical guys were on hand too!

We take you through the AREX factory, the home of the AREX Rex Zero 1S pistol and show you how these guns are made. We also show you some new products you can expect to see in 2018!


And of course, give James and TFBTV some love as well.

    it looks like a poor mans p226

    If Arex has shown they can do a good-quality yet reasonably priced clone of the P226, I suggest their next project should be the P320. The recent U.S. military contract is going to create more civilian demand for a 320 than a 226.

      @logan sqr Check out the Zastava CZ99 which was developed in 1989 for the Yugoslavian military and police. The Rex is much more like the CZ99 than the P226, but then the P226 was developed several years before the CZ99 and yes, I agree, they look very much alike. The primary difference is the fire controls. The CZ99 and Rex Zero 1S have nearly identical controls with the slide stop being the decocker whereas the Sig has two different levers, one for each function.
