Arex RexZero pistols

Anybody have any trigger time on the Arex RexZero pistols? They just introduced a compact model, similar to the Sig P229 size.
Other that the ability to carry the Arex cocked and locked, I don't see where they are much different than the Sig P226/P229.
The price is a little better than the Sigs, but there are some excellent buys on used LEO Sigs on the auction side. [;)]
The Arex looks good on video, but I have yet to inspect one. I know that Sigs are good to go for the most part. [8D][;)]
New Arex vs. used Sig. What to do??[?] Used Sig P229's in .40S&W are going for very reasonable prices![:0]

The price is decent and the promos suggest it is well made but there is no real support, no spare parts and extra mags are hard to come by and I am a loads of mags per gun person
It is a better made clone but it is still a clone

As a Sig guy I would not have an EDC with a safety so these are a no go for me

I have no issues with an external safety as I carry a 1911 and a BHP sometimes. The Arex or Sig I am interested in would be for my wife to carry in her purse. I don't like off body carry, but there is no way she will wear a holster. Striker fired is out for her, as is any cocked and locked carry.
So it is down to DA/SA or revolver.
With the Arex being new and unproven, I might just go with a used P229 in .40S&W for her.
Check GB but I know there are some p229 SAS (Sig Anti Snag)the carry no rail in 40 for under $600.00. The 9MM version is 200 more
Another consideration would be the P225A-1 a single stack with 8 round mag in 9MM. She might like the weight while it is still a normal size
The long DA makes it much safer than striker fire.
I train a lot in close quarter drills. it is interesting how one does not feel the difference in a 10+ pound DA and a 4LB SA when running high stress drills
I bought 3 of Sig clones made by Zastava the CZ999 and they are crude but more Sig like in no safety DA/SA and stoutly made with a cheap price tag. But again, no real support or spares and mags are hard to find

I had a Sig P6 ten or so years ago when they were surplus. That was an excellent pistol, but magazines were expensive.
I think a used LEO P229 .40S&W is the ticket for my wife. [:)]
Cheap brass and I have a Lee 6 cavity mold.[:)]
If she doesn't like the P229 I know I do![;)]

LOL, I also had a P6 ten+ years ago and sold it because finding mags was hard and way too much $
