Excerpts from a Cat’s Daily Diary. ..
Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a ‘good little hunter’ I am. Bastards.
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of ‘allergies.’ I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow — but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released – and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.
The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now…

“This is not a dictatorship. We are never going to use force, because we belong to the people. Moreover, the day that the people no longer want us, we shall leave. As soon as possible I will take the rifles off the streets. There are no more enemies, there is no longer anything to fight against.”

I was going to post a pile of pics showing the “innards” of a Glock vs a Delta – then go to great lengths pontificating on the differences between them and then surmise how much better the Delta is . . .
The Delta is every bit as good ( and better in some respects ) as a Glock construction wise – and love them or hate them Glocks are the standard for striker fired pistols – but to look at a bunch of pics – side by side – hard to “see” the differences – but when you add operating ergonomics and handling ergonomics to the mix – the AREX Delta is a far better pistol . . .
All the stuff you see below comes in the box plus the owners manual – lock – and the box has a real hinge . . . If you have ever had one of the thin plastic strips some manufacturers use for a hinge break in the middle of winter in South Dakota YOU know what I’m talking about . . .
The pistol is ambidextrous out of the box – slide release and mag release work from either side – no having to switch the mag release from one side to the other – ambi slide release – I be loving it!! – it’s good to go for weak hand shooting – whether you are a lefty or a righty . . .
The trigger is real nice – as good as or better than an out of the box Glock – and the reset is hard to believe for a striker fired pistol – very short reset – some of the reviews out there comment on a “scratchy – plastic “drag” feeling up to the trigger break – that may have been an initial production issue that was resolved as I am getting none of that with this pistol – smooth up to the break – I’m getting clean / consistent breaks at just over 6 pounds.
Where the AREX Delta really shines is the handling ergos – for you righty’s out there – a place for both thumbs ( Thumbs Forward!! ) – slide and mag release have good tactile feel – easy to use . . .
And a good parking place for you trigger finger on either side . . .
And for you lefty’s – the same deal – sweet stuff!! – It shoots almost as good left handed for me as right – I just need to practice more . . . If anyone has several thousand rounds of 9mm they want to donate – LMAO!!
Got in tight with these pics so you could get an idea of the texturing and also a close look at the slide cuts . . .
The slide cuts are almost strange looking but they work really well – easy to grips bare handed and work great with gloves! – and you haven’t had real “fun” shooting until you are in the middle of white out conditions at 12 degrees in South Dakota running and gunning paper that you can barely see! . . . Would that make me hardcore or stupid or both?? Don’t answer that . . .
Ready for some boring stuff? -The stats? – ok – here some numbers and such for you . . .
Caliber 9 x 19 mm Length 7.0 inches Height 5.0 inches Width 1.18 inches Barrel length 4.0 inches Weight w/o mag 19.2 oz Weight w mag 22.2 oz Frame Polymer // Black color Slide Nitrocarburized steel // Graphite black color Sights Low profile steel sights
and the whole list of “stuff” . . .

Striker fired, double action trigger system.
Crisp, short reset trigger.

Trigger safety.
Striker indicator, and loaded chamber indicator.
Easy takedown, without having to pull the trigger.
One 15 round flush fit, and one 17 round extended magazine.
Compact cleaning kit.
The Delta loaded with 16 +1 with 115 grain ( can’t quite get that 17th round in the mag ) – 28.6 oz
1911 45 acp Government Model EMPTY with mag – 38.9 oz
Over 10 oz difference and the 1911 – it’s empty – the Delta is loaded . . . On board – 18 rounds / Delta vs 9 rounds / 1911 ( once the springs loosen up a bit on the Delta mags ) – 17 rounds reloads for the Delta vs 8 rounds for the 1911 . . .
Folks – I am enamored with the 1911 platform – However – I admit I am carrying the Delta – not all the time – I don’t want to go into 1911 withdrawal ! – but I am carrying it – It’s Just that Good!
The Delta is not a revolutionary design – BUT – it certainly is an evolutionary design – Recommend it?? – very simply – Yes – pick one up and you “feel” the difference – shoot several hundred rounds through it to “tune it in” – which back strap – proper grip – sight picture and you will be pleased with it . . .
Asking for a friend . . . If 1500 or so commie fucks are burning – looting – murdering one night – and every single one is butchered ( EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. ) – fed through wood chippers – then the remains burned to ashes – How many will come out to play the next night?? – just asking for a friend . . . the north Vietnamese operated on the standard of kill them all and eventually they will stop sending them – How did that practice work out for the French?? OH! They quit sending them . . .
