Bearing striking resemblance to a SIG P226, the Rex Zero from Slovenian manufacturer Arex is well made, fully featured and, best of all, selling for about half the price of competitive models. Imported by FIME Group of Las Vegas, Nev., the Rex Zero is a 9 mm, hammer-fired, semi-automatic pistol with single-action/double-action operation.

In this week's NRA Gun Gear of the Week video, American Rifleman's Joe Kurtenbach takes the full-size pistol to the range and brings you the results.
