Zero 1 Compact — semi-automatic pistol in 9×19 by Arex® blends classic ergonomics with modern features. Inspired by the legendary P226, the Zero 1 Compact delivers proven operating principles enhanced by an improved aluminum-alloy frame, front and rear slide serrations, and an integrated Picatinny accessory rail.
Like its inspiration, the Zero 1 Compact is a DA/SA pistol with an external hammer, offering familiar manual controls and reliable function. Arex have retained the proven operating concept while adding contemporary refinements for improved handling and user control.
The grip geometry is carefully contoured to provide a secure purchase for a wide range of hand sizes. Although visually robust, the grip works well for shooters with smaller hands too, delivering confident control and a natural point of aim.
The Zero 1 Compact features a new aluminium-alloy frame with an integrated Picatinny rail for lights and laser modules. The pistol ships with a 15-round magazine, ambidextrous magazine release, and ambidextrous manual safety. The slide catch doubles as a decocking lever, and a loaded-chamber indicator on the slide’s top edge provides quick visual confirmation of a chambered round.
Front and rear slide serrations improve positive manipulation in adverse conditions or with gloved hands. The combination of serrations, improved frame geometry and quality controls delivers fast, reliable operation in dynamic use.
