Just read the review on this gun in American Rifleman,,, I’m going to have to go look, but there is something about “the barrel’s breechblock locking into the slide’s ejection port’....comment that sure puts me in mind of a Star, or an FEG from days long past.

What do you think?

Most current autos do it, why not Rex?

It's basically a Sig clone. I like them, and have no issues with them, except I think they are a little overpriced.

Don’t most autoloaders do that since barrel lugs are a thing of the past, outside of older designs like the 1911?

Currently it is more rare to find pistols which still use locking lugs in front of the chamber.

The preferred method of locking the barrel and slide together in a tilting barrel actin is to use an oversized chamber locking into the ejection port

That gun reminds me of cars from the 1950's: it is dripping with "styling". But the stuff on it is probably somewhat more functional than, say, tail fins. Thanks, OFT, I had never heard of it!

New guns come out a lot these days. I wish someone would do an update to "Pistols of the World".
