Sig vs a Rex Zero 1 (226 clone). Interesting results.

I never heard of these guys before but they look interesting

The reviews have been good on it... but for the money, I can't justify it.
1. I wish they had a non safety version
2. I worry about the longevity of the brand.
3. For the price, I think there are better options

Not even slightly interesting because it's a sample of one. Video clickbait.

Odd that they'd put a safety on a 226 clone.

He acknowledges that it is not truly scientific testing. He retests with an MK25 and it has similar results but better than the Legion.

Some of us like the option of cocked and locked even with double action.

Still bought the legion instead.

Barrel longevity? Most pistol barrels last like 100k rounds -- is there an inherent issue with these ones, like manufacturing wise?

Not necessarily the barrel, but I'd worry about them being in existence in the future for any warranty work. Also, how many after market manufacturers will make accessories (mags, holsters) for it.

I mean for 650 I can pick up a new sig on Black Friday which I will again. I like the rex because I like sigs but I wish they came in around 450
