Lightweight, slim full-size pistols are a growing favorite for duty, concealed carry, and range work because they balance controllability and capacity without excess bulk. When you need a serviceable striker-fired handgun that carries easily but still performs like a full-size service pistol, look for a platform with an optics-ready slide, crisp trigger, and ergonomic controls.

AREX Delta L arrives as a standout in that category: a lightly used AREX Delta L 9mm offering Glock 17–sized performance in a lighter, slimmer package. Made in Slovenia, this pistol features an optics-ready slide with included mounting plates for Shield RMSc, Trijicon RMR, and Leupold DPP footprints, a lightweight polymer frame with aggressive grip texture, a flat-face trigger with a crisp break and short reset, and ambidextrous slide stop and mag release. It also includes a striker status indicator and a loaded chamber indicator, forward slide serrations, and an undercut trigger guard for a secure, high-hand grip. Shop this product

Key features and practical benefits

The AREX Delta L’s lightweight polymer frame and slim profile make it easier to carry without sacrificing sight radius or magazine capacity associated with Glock 17-sized ergonomics. The flat-face trigger delivers a tactile, consistent break and a short reset—important for rapid, accurate follow-ups on the range and under stress. Ambidextrous controls mean the pistol adapts to left- or right-handed users without aftermarket changes.

Optics-ready slide and mounting plates

The slide ships with mounting plates for popular red-dot footprints, letting you fit an RMSc, RMR, or Leupold DPP without custom milling. For shooters who prioritize fast target acquisition, that out-of-the-box compatibility saves time and expense when adding a reflex sight. View product details and pricing

9mm: the practical defensive caliber

As a 9mm platform, the Delta L benefits from manageable recoil, broad ammunition availability, and effective defensive ballistics at common engagement distances. The slim frame makes everyday carry more comfortable while preserving the controllability that lets shooters employ defensive ammunition effectively.

At $465.99 for a lightly used example, the AREX Delta L represents value for shooters seeking full-size handling in a lighter, carry-friendly package.
