Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ThePontificator: Is my Gen 1 recoil spring assembly broken? Yesterday I noticed something about forward tip of the recoil spring assembly: there is a sort of clip that appears to hold the spring in place. It looks like a capital letter 'C'....actually a half-round which looks odd. Is this normal? or is that clip been broken in half? The pistol does work no issues. (currently have no way of taking a decent photo) It's broke. Mine is a full circle. Gen 1  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ThePontificator: GOOD NEWS! Global Ordnance has them they are...are you ready? SIXY-EIGHT CENTS EACH! Attached FileMy order came in today. You get both halves shown in the schematic for 68¢. These two plastic halves can go over the end of the guide rod when the spring is pulled back. When you slowly let the spring go forward with the plastic halves properly aligned, the spring goes over the collars on the plastic halves holding them in place. It would seem it would be better if these were metal since the plastic ones - based on your experience - appear to be a failure point. |

Just got an email, AREX is back shipping to the USA.
www.arex-store.si There is option shipping your packages with DHL Express which is fast and more secure with tracking feature or via Slovenian Post which can take longer and has no tracking feature. I imagine Global Ord sells most of this but there may be some items they do not carry so posting up. |

It's POLYMER. |

The Gen1 Delta fits the Galco Matrix MX7 holster very well. Just slightly loose but the retention portion (the trigger guard) is spot-on.
The Matrix is/was a cheapo molded thermoplastic belt slide holster. The MX7 model fits Glock double stack 9/40/357. |

Just want to let everyone know if you purchased a tactical model and it didn't come with both the reg RSA, and a Suppressor RSA you can give them a call and they'll get one out to you ASAP. That's what they did for me and thought I shear, and say how appreciative I am for their great customer service.

I’ve been able to make the top end of my Gen 2 pop off a couple times while shooting by putting a bit of pressure on the takedown latch. The latch on mine has what I’d call excessive side to side play and if you press the frame with your support hand thumb, it can press the latch down enough to let the top end get over it.
A latch with less play and recessed like Glock would fix that. |

The trigger is garbage and fricken hurts. I've got all the cheap 9mms and this one sucks BY FAR the worst. The trigger safety bites your finger. The gun sucks.

First one was ok, a M which got better after putting a 100rds through it, second one was the worst, that was the Tac model and that trigger felt like 10 lbs, lol... The third was a L model and it would not reset while dryfiring 90% of the time. All three have since been broken in and are as smooth as silk, and I should mention although the L wouldn't reset during dryfire, it never skipped a beat when throwing lead down range. Just give it sometime and a little dryfire love along with a little range time and chances are it will get much better in a short period of time. |

When you look at the dark coating on the frame rails that appears to be the same coating on all the FCU parts. Once the dark wears down to shiny silver the trigger gets much better. I've got a Gen 1 and Gen 2 that shoot great. Also Glock 19 gen 123 recoil springs work in the Delta. Glock and CZP10C striker springs fit but reset gets weird if you go to light. David |

You don't have to use ammo; you can just spend a few hours doing dry fire practice and running the slide at full power. Stoning the striker release surface with a fine stone does magic as well. Just don't change the angle, only polish what's there. |

Another thing you can do is lubricate the striker safety assembly*. After doing this the grittiness felt in the trigger uptake was dramatically reduced and along with shooting several hundred rounds through it produced a very nice crisp trigger pull.
I realize that part cannot be readily removed (sucks) but if you drop oil where it fits into the slide that'll take care of what I described. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SquatchAv8: Can you provide a pic of where you are referencing? Thanks No pics but it's easy enough to describe: Remove the slide from the frame and turn the slide upside down. The striker safety (also known as a firing pin block) is that piece just behind the extractor claw. You can push it in and out with the tip of a pen but it's 'trapped' by the extractor arm. You drop a couple of drops of oil around the edge as you push it in and out to let the lubrication seep in. |

Has anyone seen the new Rost-Martin pistol made in Dallas, TX? Kind of a Delta clone, almost.
It was made in partnership with Arex, but made here. Arex is supplying some parts. I have Gen 1 and 2 Deltas, thought I would check this one out. Ordered from Dahlonega Armory, $355 plus tax and shipping. Took four days to get to west-central Ohio. I just got home with the Rost-Martin. Nice gun. Trigger is better than a new Arex; but the Delta breaks in/polishes in to match the RM. Slight advantage RM. It has the trigger that Deltas SHOULD ship with. The grip is slightly fatter than the Delta; just barely. Probably because it is more rounded; same corners but fill in the curves and you are there. It's definitely smoother. Advantage Delta. Unless you like a rounder, smoother grip, then advantage RM. Slides are directly interchangeable with a Gen2 Delta; sight cuts look the same. Serrations on the RM are grippier, and the top is grooved for glare. Advantage RM Mag catch is slightly large, more round, and protrudes slightly. Easier to depress, but still shouldn't let go unintentionally. Slightly longer reach to hit it well, due to the grip and shape of the release. Calling this one even. Machining and fit are excellent, same as the Delta. Slide release is a little bigger than the Delta. Holster fit is pretty much the same; there seems to be a tiny bit more drag with the RM, but not significantly. The Delta has the lever loaded chamber indicator, while the RM has a hole at the rear of the chamber to see the loaded round. Personal preference issue; butt he Delta works in the dark or without taking eyes off of the threat. Cocking indicators are the same. The Rost-Martin uses their mags, which are cheap on their website. They also use CZ P10C mags. They will not accept Arex mags due to the shape of the baseplate. That could be remedied with a grinder if you like. The Arex Delta will work with all 3 types. Nice gun. Definitely worth the price.  Attached File |

I recommend you purchase this hard nylon slide "cradle" from Squirrel Daddy. At this time I don't see it on their website and I am going to ask them if they still make them. I'm sure they do. This thing seriously locks the slide into the vise without damaging it and you slide will not move.

I prefer the hole style loaded chamber indicator but I’m not to keen on a larger grip. Thanks for the info |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ohio: Has anyone seen the new Rost-Martin pistol made in Dallas, TX? Kind of a Delta clone, almost. It was made in partnership with Arex, but made here. Arex is supplying some parts. I have Gen 1 and 2 Deltas, thought I would check this one out. Ordered from Dahlonega Armory, $355 plus tax and shipping. Took four days to get to west-central Ohio. I just got home with the Rost-Martin. Nice gun. Trigger is better than a new Arex; but the Delta breaks in/polishes in to match the RM. Slight advantage RM. It has the trigger that Deltas SHOULD ship with. The grip is slightly fatter than the Delta; just barely. Probably because it is more rounded; same corners but fill in the curves and you are there. It's definitely smoother. Advantage Delta. Unless you like a rounder, smoother grip, then advantage RM. Slides are directly interchangeable with a Gen2 Delta; sight cuts look the same. Serrations on the RM are grippier, and the top is grooved for glare. Advantage RM Mag catch is slightly large, more round, and protrudes slightly. Easier to depress, but still shouldn't let go unintentionally. Slightly longer reach to hit it well, due to the grip and shape of the release. Calling this one even. Machining and fit are excellent, same as the Delta. Slide release is a little bigger than the Delta. Holster fit is pretty much the same; there seems to be a tiny bit more drag with the RM, but not significantly. The Delta has the lever loaded chamber indicator, while the RM has a hole at the rear of the chamber to see the loaded round. Personal preference issue; butt he Delta works in the dark or without taking eyes off of the threat. Cocking indicators are the same. The Rost-Martin uses their mags, which are cheap on their website. They also use CZ P10C mags. They will not accept Arex mags due to the shape of the baseplate. That could be remedied with a grinder if you like. The Arex Delta will work with all 3 types. Nice gun. Definitely worth the price. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/35784/delta_rm_png-3107234.JPG Fondled an RM1C this morning at LGS but I wouldn't pay their asking price which is $450. |
