vlj1216 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Told you so... [emoji16]Hey Maks, I ran it tonight in Production at my local match, I was ok. The first shot double action is kinda tough. I want to go in there and do some polishing until some modifications come along. I've studied it a little and it looks fairly straightforward to disasemble but I was wondering if there is a disassemble video out there that I could follow along with.

Jeff O Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Personally I agree that double action pull is a little grim compared to other guns I have that are similar. The single action is as good as anything I've felt. Having seen videos of the Rex Factory it's no surprise that the quality, fit and finish are second to none. The gun is going to need some work on the double action trigger pull to be competitive with the CZ and Tanfos. of the world. Somewhere on this forum I posted a picture of my gun on the scale it is indeed 42.2 ounces. Edited July 21, 2018 by Jeff O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlj1216 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Yeah double sucks. My S2 is all Cajunized. I think pairs might be faster with the Rex and maybe it secures better in the hand. My S2 double is way lighter, closer and smoother. In single S2 has less take up and is lighter, mine is at 2.5lbs. I think I like the balance of the Rex better. Quality, fit and finish is definatily with the CZ but it's also apx 300+ more. I think the Rex deserves a chance for the aftermarket to catch up. All I have through the Alpha is 150, range test and 1match. Not much to go on but that's my initial B shooter thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maks_H Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Already talked to factory about parts for DA. They will start producing after the mid August. I desagree on fit and finish Alpha is all nithride (Trnnifer) vs. powder coating on S2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlj1216 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Make, can you give any more information on that aftermarket alum trigger you have? Also, are the alum grips any thinner or the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maks_H Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Alum trigger is less curved and maybe little harder to reach in DA, but has a realy nice flat surfface which gives you feel in SA as you are shooting SA gun only. On avarage match 8-10 DA versus 200-250 SA pulls to me is totaly worth it. Also it has an overtravell screw so reset is short, very short. Grips are the same thickness as plastic but those are first batch so to me are not agressive enough, I am waiting for more agressive option. https://youtu.be/JUknOYAOKxM Edited July 23, 2018 by Maks_H Adding YT link.

Jeff O Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) I will say that the gun balances perfectly in my hand and the recoil is almost imperceptible. Maybe the flattest shooting gun I've ever fired. As far as accuracy my 1st 10 shots from 15 yds were in one post-it note.

vlj1216 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 My latest mod, a wrap of grip tape. The front strap has excellent grip but the rear not so much. I'll run it tonight at a match, it feels really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maks_H Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Excellent, I hope agressive aftermarket grips will be available soon. A company that produces parts already has 3D models for Alpha. It takes a little more time since grips are wraped and more difficult to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the link here brings me to a different website Yeah the link is wrong, just type in the address. I'm dying waiting over here too. I want an extended firing pin, some trigger and hammer options, more aggressive grip options and flat safeties. I know it's a new pistol and the aftermarket will come eventually but I want it now [emoji846] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maks_H Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 No trigger yet... They were closed for two weeks because vacation. Tomorrow I will have more info about trigger and firing pin release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to do and makes a fair amount of difference. Curious to see what the Alpha look like by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maks_H Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 The easiest way to shorten reset is to modify trigger bar by removing some material where has a contact with sear. I will post photo later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to see what you are speaking about Thanks Sorry my bad, read your post wrong got confused since I have a little different system in Alpha since it is preseries. I don't have FPB inside. You were spot on for Rex Zero 1. For Alpha is little different, since trigger bar directy engages sear not through FPB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
