Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the new AREX Delta 9mm pistol?

The AREX Delta is AREX Firearms' first striker-fired polymer pistol. It boasts ambidextrous controls, a unique two-stage double-action trigger with a very short reset, and a novel slide disassembly process that doesn't require pulling the trigger. It also features interchangeable sights compatible with Springfield XD-M and embedded grip tape.

How does the trigger system on the AREX Delta work?

The AREX Delta utilizes a two-stage double-action trigger. The firing pin is only half-cocked after the slide cycles. The trigger pull then completes the cocking action before releasing the striker. This system contributes to its notably short and crisp reset.

What is unique about the slide disassembly on the AREX Delta?

Unlike many striker-fired pistols, the AREX Delta's slide can be disassembled without pulling the trigger. The process involves pulling the slide back slightly, pressing down on specific detents, and then pushing the slide forward off the frame. This is a significant departure from traditional striker-fired disassembly methods.

When will the AREX Delta be available in the US?

The availability of the AREX Delta in the US was pending the resolution of a government shutdown and the necessary import licenses from the ATF. Representatives indicated that the pistols would be in the country as soon as the shutdown concluded and import approvals were processed.
