The Arex Delta X Gen 2 offers a comfortable grip with effective texturing and a unique 'gas pedal' ledge for recoil management. While its grip angle differs from Glocks, potentially affecting red dot acquisition, the pistol features a crisp trigger and a useful cocking indicator. It's presented as a budget-friendly alternative to the Glock 19X, with considerations for ammunition preference and concealed carry suitability.

Quick Summary

The Arex Delta X Gen 2 is a budget-friendly alternative to the Glock 19X, featuring a comfortable grip, crisp trigger, and a 'gas pedal' ledge for recoil control. However, it's sprung for 124-grain ammunition, which can cause ejection issues with common 115-grain US ammunition.

The Arex Delta X Gen 2 is presented as a more budget-friendly alternative to the Glock 19X, often costing a few hundred dollars less. While both are optics-ready, the Arex has a different grip angle that may affect red dot acquisition for Glock users.

What ammunition is the Arex Delta X Gen 2 sprung for?
