Frequently Asked Questions

How can I improve the trigger on my Arex Delta pistol?

You can improve the Arex Delta trigger by performing a DIY trigger job. This involves carefully disassembling the firearm, polishing key internal contact surfaces like the trigger bar, slide release, striker, and striker safety block to reduce friction and grittiness. Regular dry firing also helps polish components over time.

What is the main goal of a trigger job on the Arex Delta?

The primary goal of a trigger job on the Arex Delta is to smooth out the internal surfaces that touch during operation. This reduces grittiness in the pre-travel and results in a cleaner, crisper break, enhancing the overall feel of the trigger pull without altering its fundamental geometry.

Can I make my Arex Delta trigger lighter with a DIY job?

While polishing internal components can make the trigger feel smoother and crisper, it typically does not significantly reduce the trigger's weight. To achieve a lighter trigger pull, you would likely need to change the striker spring or other components, which is beyond the scope of a simple polishing job.

What are the risks involved in a DIY trigger job?

The main risks involve altering the firearm's geometry, which can compromise safety and reliability. Aggressive polishing or material removal can damage parts or lead to malfunctions. It's crucial to proceed with caution, avoid changing angles, and ensure all parts are correctly reassembled and lubricated.
