REX zero 1 pistol has several independent safety features that guarantee safe operation under most unfavorable circumstances. The Firing Pin Safety catch acts as a main drop safety catch which is disengaged only when the trigger is fully depressed. The hammer can be lowered safely by a dual-purpose lever located on the left side of the frame in front of the ambidextrous manual safety catch. The safety catch can be engaged with the hammer in either a cocked or decocked position. When put on “safe” it disconnects the trigger bar from the sear. The safety catch can be intuitively disengaged with the thumb in a down-sweeping motion. A loaded chamber indicator both visually and tactilely declares the presence of a round in the chamber.
The firing mechanism with exposed hammer operates is classical single and double action modes with the hammer remaining cocked after each cycling of the slide. The single-action trigger breaks crisply at 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) and resets with a short travel of 3 mm. the smooth and long double action 6 kg (13 lbs) trigger pull is engineered with safety in mind. The magazine is released with an ambidextrous button at the base of the trigger guard.
The slide is machined from chromolly steel and a 7075 aircraft aluminum alloy is used for the frame. The precision-machined barrel is cold hammer-forged from one piece of chromolly steel. The slide and barrel undergo a proprietary nitrocarburizing surface protection process that provides high surface hardness and extreme corrosion resistance. Hard anodizing is used on the aluminum frame for its abrasion resistance.
