The Sig P226 was a longstanding service weapon for the Navy Seals. So the engineers at Arex probably thought that what is good for the Seals operators could also be good for Arex's customers, and they created the Zero 1 Tactical S model. For even faster reloading, an extended magazine button was added. The obvious inspiration from the legendary Sig is undeniable.
Like its predecessor from Sig, the Arex Zero 1 S is a semi-automatic pistol with an external hammer and DA/SA trigger with smooth operation and a short reset, as we have come to expect from Arex pistols. Additionally, in the Tactical version, the weapon is equipped with an M 13.5×1 thread for mounting a sound suppressor or other muzzle device and is prepared for a collimator, with a variety of adapters for mounting a collimator from almost any manufacturer and model.
The grip is pleasantly ergonomic and even though it seems like it might be for shooters with larger hands, the opposite is true, and it feels comfortable even for women with smaller hands. The grip is 100% secure, and the weapon fits perfectly in the hand.
The Zero 1 T has a new enhanced aluminum alloy frame, extended Picatinny rail, and raised sights. And the list of its benefits doesn't stop there. A 17-round magazine, ambidextrous magazine release, and ambidextrous manual safety are among its user-friendly features. The slide stop also serves as a decocking lever for the hammer, just like the original P226. On the top edge of the slide, there is a chamber-loaded indicator.
