Arex Alpha size in hand, looking for new IDPA gun


Recommended Posts

Does anyone own one of these?  I would like to know, when holding it, what would you compare it to as far as grip size and/or style.  Thank you! 

 

Choosing a new gun for IDPA and it's down to:

 

Arex Alpha

92 Elite LTT

Witness Limted Custom

CZ SP-01 Shadow Target II

 

I own a 92A1  and have held the Tanfoglio and CZ.

Just got it today.  It has a large grip, just not quite as wide or rounded feeling as the Beretta.  Larger than CZ.

It's a big gun.  I'd swear it looks smaller in the pictures.  

 

It'll get a workout monday....

An alternative IDPA gun. My Bersa Thunder 9 Pro XT. Comes with 5 mags, great sights and it's a de-cocker. I couldn't believe the trigger pulls either (avg of 5). Gun has less than 500 rds thru it and is bone stock. Only drawback is the grips are about Beretta size and no way to change them. Oh, and it costs $600.

Would love to hear your trigger pull numbers.

It should be 8 and 3. With tuning I have 6 and 2,5.

 

It does come with 3 different trigger springs, with the middle one installed so there is a quick reduction possible out of the gate.  

 

I've been shooting Revolver exclusively since February, so any other trigger pull feels like nothing.....:)  The struggle is wheel.  

I highly recommend it by the way, revolver that is.  My DA pull doesn't move the sights even a millimeter.  IF I take anything positive away from it, trigger control was worth the struggle.

Please tell the guys about felt recoil. What can you say about it compared to other steel guns and how the front sight tracks... 

Hopefully tuning parts will hit the stores by end of the summer.
