Arex is a Slovenian defense and firearms manufacturer based in Šentjernej, with over 30 years of expertise in innovative engineering and production. Founded in 1994, Arex initially excelled as a subcontractor for major brands like FN, producing high-precision components, cold-hammer-forged barrels, links, training ammunition, and ballistic protection
In the mid-2010s, Arex launched its own handgun line with the Rex Zero 1 series (2016 onward), a hammer-fired, DA/SA pistol inspired by the SIG P226 but with unique features like a full-metal frame, exceptional reliability (tested beyond 30,000 rounds), and military-grade durability. Models include Standard (full-size 17+1 9mm), Compact, Tactical, and later evolutions like Rex Zero 2 and striker-fired Delta Gen 2
Arex pistols blend proven design, in-house manufacturing, and modern upgrades (e.g., optics-ready slides, enhanced ergonomics), earning praise for accuracy, value, and toughness among law enforcement, military, and civilian shooters. Today, Arex supplies NATO partners and exports worldwide, symbolizing Slovenia's rise in precision firearms
