T.REX Holster Manufacturing Inside Look

[@dfrank7]

T-Rex Arms should start offering slide milling services. You guys would probably do an amazing job.

[@armorist6570]

Even if they didnt get them 100% right at first, theyre one of the ONLY companies i trust to get down to business and do it right. And if they fuck up your slide, i have no doubt theyd make it right however necessary. I want T.Rex to open grocery stores and gas stations and everything

[@bigb7024]

I just got my cz slide milled at a place called NC Engravers and they did an excellent job. It was back to me in a week from the day I mailed it with a really nice cerekote. Extremely professional. Just in case you’re looking

[@dfrank7]

@@bigb7024 appreciate the info. Yeah there’s a lot of good shops out there. Unfortunately, their lead times are ridiculous.

[@davidt5085]

@@armorist6570lol, right? They’re like the Chick-fil-a of the gun world. So good at what they do, we want them to bring that efficiency and customer service to all aspect of our lives.

[@DT0me7624]

Agreed!

[@dgax65]

T.Rex Arms is a great example of American entrepreneurial spirit and patriotism. Thank you for all that you do.

[@jb76489]

Always love behind the scenes stuff like this

[@weaponofchoice8942]

You guys have come a long way from my first order with you. I a proud of the work you’ve done.

[@TOYCH]

This type of content is why TRex Arms is at the top of the innovation chain for shooters and 2A advocates. Great work as always.

[@AllAboutSurvival]

T.REX's dedication to kydex development and incorporating engineering principles for faster, high-quality production is commendable. This inside look provides valuable insight into the craftsmanship behind the gear we trust to carry our firearms securely

[@ZeroFourTwentyFive]

After years of buying holsters from other company’s, my last 6 holsters have been purchased from you. Sold all the others and its only T-Rex holsters for me. Keep up the good work and innovation! 🇺🇸

[@mikemccauley8089]

You guys are an amazing American success story, how far you’ve come in 10 years, well done T-Rex! All the best to the T-Rex family and their families

[@ripcordjr5696]

As a mold maker/ mechanic, I appreciate the attention to detail you put into your manufacturing process. I've bought a few holsters from T Rex from OWB and the Ragnarok Holster . Both designs are excellent. I really enjoyed running the Ragnarok Holster on my battle beltbelt. Great fit out of the box. Hopefully, in the future, i'll be able to purchase a Ragnarok Holster for my Steyr M9 A1 and my Steyr MF A2 9mm.... tx T.Rex Arms.

[@SimpleGunner]

this may be my favorite quote from isaac. "a holster is like a business card for freedom

[@isaacbotkintrex]

That's actually a David Botkin quote. I should have given him the credit, since he's been saying it since the very beginning.

[@SimpleGunner]

@@isaacbotkintrex oh. oops.

[@davidgaines8607]

All that stuff is cool , but when I ordered a whole Ragnarok kit , and it came all assembled (holster,drop mount , qls fork , thigh strap) even though it was black Friday and you're super busy , that impressed me.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Fantastic job Isaac!

[@corbindallasmultipass]

hands down, one of the best companies in the US!!! God bless your efforts

[@Minuteman_Medic]

I bought my Sidecar on black friday. I was blown away by the fact that 10 days later you guys already had it on the way. I've bought holsters from other (in fairness smaller) companies that would charge an extra $50 for a lead time as short as that for a holster twice the price of a Sidecar.

[@marine_0311]

10 days was slow for trex lol Ive ordered from trex and get my order the next day

[@breckfreeride]

​​@@marine_0311 nice, my postal orifice sux

[@olavo1mc]

Just bought my first TREX Holster! Proud of being your customer!!!

[@thomasalison6188]

Really impressive how you iterate, innovate, & continue to improve. Definitely an example that other manufacturers should follow!

[@Libertarian_Neighbor]

I have a simple Raptor G19 holster from about 3 years ago. It is still my favorite holster in the pile of holsters that I own. Easy on/off, incredibly comfortable, amazing design and simplicity. I wish you’d bring them back!

[@swift__]

A Holster is like a business card for Freedom.. 🇺🇸💪🏼 great video, love it 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@hubriswonk]

Total Quality is why I have so many T Rex holsters and other gear from them! And people at the training center notice T Rex it is kinda like a club :) :) :)

[@anklebiter2862]

I used to work for amazon warehouse and this company its almost the same using the same technology. I am impressed.

[@waynePM80]

This is a verified buyer of their holster. Shipping was fast. Product quality is exceptional and I would highly recommend them

[@johnshipley9755]

since I been repeat customer there no problem with anything you make or sell top notch company.

[@paullane7489]

What a great company!! I love these guys!!! 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸

[@breckfreeride]

The right out of the box fit blew me away when i got my first side car!

[@spencer7197]

I remember when the sidecar 2.0 launched ordered a holster (wanted to have the new hotness). I placed the order mid-day on a wednesday and it showed up on Friday. This left me a little awestruck. For reference I do live in Texas. I know, not super relevant to this video, but for a relatively young and small company they are absolutely killing it in almost every facet imaginable. I'm excited to see what the future holds for T. Rex arms.

[@blairellis642]

How appropriate of a video. Got my Ragnarok today. Everything looks good so far! Thanks!!

[@DT0me7624]

Thanks for the video guys! Just got my third holster from you guys this week! 🦖

[@SWAGGER1776]

I’ve bought many quality holsters from name brand Companies but T-Rex Arms is definitely top of the line construction. 💯 quality holsters🇺🇸

[@DocAkins]

Helping to preserve the American Dream while living the American Dream. Thank you.

[@greggullett1272]

I still like these types of videos, thanks. And there's an algorithm offering as well

[@isaacbotkintrex]

Algorithm offering received. 👍

[@jonahguerndt6214]

This is nice. I ordered one a few days ago. Can’t wait to get it!

i get to say this! FIRST! Anyway, been enjoying what goes into making these high tech processes and excellent manufacturing! Keep it up!

[@lancekilkenny721]

Thank you for the look behind the curtain!

[@PeterReid1993]

I know y’all are busy this holiday season, but thanks for kicking ass! Love y’all’s holsters I’ve got one of each with another Ragnarok on the way!

[@Jaywalk318]

I wish more than anything you guys would make canik holsters. I would buy a couple of them so fast.

[@bestjobieverhad9584]

The editing is great

[@ericlinden472]

I have to say I purchased one of the 10 anniversary holsters, its definitely my favorite holsters. I have 6 other holsters from you guys and tier 1. It’s just another level. I really wish you guys had did one with a no light option. But no matter what I think you guys did a amazing job. Thanks for making a great product. Also your T-shirts are amazing quality as well. I’m 6’2” 235 lbs so finding a great fitting shirt is rough. Thanks for that as well.

[@americanpatriotbill]

Great product, great process

[@57Jimflynn]

The hinge in the side car is probably my favorite new attribute. I can adjust it based on my needs at that moment.

100% wheres the love for Canik 😢

[@mitchellf1122]

Great video. Very informative

[@rocco9216]

Best holsters I’ve had❤

[@kpatt2006]

I really liked the fit and finish and comfort of the sidecar 2.0 for my xmacro. I just wish there was a more adjustable claw, because it was too close to my fingers when getting a full grip, I'd bang my knuckles against the claw. If it was lowered just a few millimeters, or do like another big appendix rig maker does, make it adjustable up and down to allow for my knuckle space, it could be perfect.

[@Gontzlol]

I bought a holster from you guys a long time ago. but it does not have any kind of branding on it, no Trex logo. is this a QC problem or did you not do it in the start at all?

[@isaacbotkintrex]

We like subtlety. There really wasn't any branding on the holsters until we started putting it on the claw and the clips.

[@johnsonjerrad]

Got an Ironside for my EDC Glock 19 because I'm too fat for appendix carry. I must say, very nice 🤌 I drive for 9+ hours a day with frequent stopping and getting out and it feels like I'm not wearing a holster at all.

[@Russianmafia10]

Have you guys done anything about the shield arms Z9 mags not fitting in the G43 mag holders?

[@Ryan-T-Hart]

Phenomenal video

[@gabrielrego2493]

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

[@elhnston6589]

Good video, great information.

[@zrwhiskey]

I build and program custom automation for a living, so I have a good idea how much must have gone into improving your production this much. Gotta love seeing a home grown business successfully leveraging automation. Thoughts on next steps for T.Rex? Robots, vision QC?

[@isaacbotkintrex]

Next thing is probably figuring out how to get those forming molds off of shelves faster. Maybe robots?

[@zrwhiskey]

@isaacbotkintrex you could do it. There are robots called cooperative robots that don't require safety guarding. You could have the robot pulling molds from a queue and presenting them to an operator and then storing them once used. You could do a lot more too, depending on goals and such.

[@Fox2146]

Me watching this video hoping to see if the holster I just ordered is being made.

[@sixdahls]

Awesome video! Amazing company! Of course, I'm biased.

[@kylesanders8276]

That's very impressive manufacturing. My favorite part are still the indicator lights. Maybe it has to do with parallels to railroad block-signaling.

[@Ryan-ew9hb]

Great video. What about an ASMR style video of a holster build moving through the entire process?

[@spapi3880]

They do make great holsters.

[@johnnybagofdoughnuts4193]

YOU GO WOKE, YOU GO BROKE!!! - THE COMMUNIST LEFTIES TOUGHT US AN AMAZING LESSON AND OPPORTUNITY TO REGAIN THOSE VALUES!!!❤❤❤❤

[@MitchKramer01]

Very impressive; from your facility to your standards! Do either of your Haas machines run coolant? I imagine it depends on the material you're working. Kydex and polyethylene probably don't require it. It was cool to hear from others on the T.Rex Team. You guys are awesome. Thanks for some more behind-the-scenes stuff! Looking forward to 2024. Cheers!

[@isaacbotkintrex]

Correct. We only run coolant for the aluminum. High chiploads pull the heat out of the plastics well enough.

[@derrickperkins2162]

What kind of ERP/inventory software system do you guys use for raw material, manufacturing, and order fulfillment?

[@isaacbotkintrex]

It's basically all custom.

[@ronin7964]

Huge progress for a ten year old company.

[@dylanwatkins1019]

I need your guys to start making holsters for the Beretta PX4 family of guns. My LTT beretta px4 needs one of your guy’s holsters.

[@Joefrom_DirtyNJ]

Do you offer the sidecar for the Springfield XD-M elite 3.8 10mm?

[@wbryan03]

I’d say a holster is more like a business card for self reliance….wait that’s a form of freedom…..six one way half a dozen the other. Either way that’s a great analogy for a holster.

[@earlturner6023]

Will a Dagger Compact w/ TLR-1 fit in your standard G19 holster?

[@isaacbotkintrex]

No, it has its own Dagger-specific holster.

[@nmhockey5]

[@theblacklines]

Use your holsters exclusively. Praying for many more years of success.

What made me buy a trex arms holster was the options available to me. Not everyone offers so many different light, slide length, optic cuts, threaded barrel cover, combinations.

[@djreese1885]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this! 🙏🏻

[@goldtdig2]

Would t-rex consider offering cordura wrapping for their holsters? It appears to very popular with alot of people. Just about every owb holster i see is cordura wrapped.

[@bygdaddy6143]

Do you make a kydex holster for a semi auto 2004 Smith & Wesson model 910 ?
