The big Problem that I see is the availability for the EU, thats why we are kinda limited to repro stuff from China. T-REX gear is very very limited or really really hard to find, same goes with other american brands (ferro, spiritus... etc.). So if you want to get good gear from america you need to import it and pay custom fees that are almost the same price as the product your buying, so if I want a sidecar your paying ~100$ on top of shipping and the holster itself.

[@GabeShootman]

I ordered that Chinese 6354do for fun to see if I wanted to order the real safariland one. At first the gun got stuck just like in the video, but after an extensive amount of filing on the ALS system and taking a heat gun to re-mold the flashlight area, it works great. Although I would never use it on duty now, its still a good training tool since it functions correctly. And it did convince me to buy the real thing since I liked it so much. for reference, I'm running a g17 with a trijicon rmr and a modlite. It seemed the issue was that holster is made for airsoft, and on airsoft glocks the ejection port is much deeper than on a real firearm, thus, the ALS was extended to catch the airsoft depth slide/ejection port.

[@kutter_ttl6786]

All those holsters are definitely sized for airsoft Glocks. I've owned several (TM, KJW/KWA, and Umarex), and they're wider to varying degrees compared to a real Glock. For holsters that allow you to adjust the tension, I noticed I had to loosen the screw quite a bit (TM based Glocks seem to be the widest) to make them fit, if they fit.

[@sentenza5766]

If i remember, vfc are the only true to size (because of the official license)

It's really important to remember that in China, guns, including airsoft guns and related accessories, are completely prohibited. In fact, producing military-level gun accessories can lead to serious legal consequences, including up to 10 years in jail. This is a crucial point for everyone to consider, especially companies like TREX. Given this context, it's more likely that any gun accessories coming from China are intended for harmless purposes like toys or cosplay, and not for any military use. It's a good suggestion for TREX and others to view these items in this light. Also, when creating content like videos, it's helpful to be aware of and respect the regulations and culture of different countries. A brief introduction or explanation about the specific situation in a country, like China's strict gun laws, can be both informative and respectful to viewers from all over the world. Love and peace to all! 🕊✨

We all appreciate the review of fake products, but I feel there is a bit of conflict of interest simply because you make money and own the products you manufacture so you are going to look for flaws in this product to make your own products look better.

An easy way around this “bias” is just simply a blind test with no way of knowing your product from the fake ones

Nothing special about Surefire weapon lights as far as performance, there are a ton of lights that are far brighter, the reason Suerfire charges a premium is because they are battle proven and virtually indestructible.

[@Xantosdude]

@@KevinHuff23I’m gonna agree with this. I’m ashamed to say, I bought an olite, a knockoff streamlight, and a knockoff SureFire. The 2 knockoffs couldn’t stay on the gun. The olite internals couldn’t handle the recoil. It just kept flickering. Good customer service though. They just sent me a new one no questions. I might try it on a pistol, rifles are too strong.

DIRECTLY RESPOND TO THE SANDALORIAN! I like both channels so don't think i'm just hating. I'd like to see the hatchet buried.

[@TREXARMORY]

What hatchet? They played victim lol

@@TREXARMORY THEN STOKE THE FIRES! I don't care i'd just like to see a good debate or a back and forth! SEND IT! Also personally it didn't seem victim, it's good to show transparency with your products, and some clarity on your guys part would be good too honestly because they had some decent claims back! JUST GIVE US CONTENT!

Thank you for comparing this stuff. I would love to see a video comparing all of the milsurp, name brand, and Chinese nylon equipment under NVGs/IR light. I only have a limited number to test, but I think this would really help push people to buy quality. My LAPG backpack glows like a flashlight under nvgs. That camo webbing that you use to cover stuff with actually does really well hiding IR for some reason.

Funnily enough chicom chest rigs and repro mao era uniform are surprisingly invisible under NVs

Can you review some Tacticon equipment?

[@cronoslamar4061]

Stay away from anything tacticon that isn’t fabric if you want good inexpensive optics buy monstrum

[@cmptrgk16]

@@cronoslamar4061 Tacticon body armor looks legit. Made in USA to NIJ standards. I have a magnifier that is working out good so far. TA and T-Rex have a thing with each other... I'd like to see T-Rex beat on the TA stuff as much as TA beats on it in their videos.

[@TREXARMORY]

You mean they have a thing about us. We didn’t know they existed until they published an advertisement using our footage

[@cronoslamar4061]

@@cmptrgk16 if your on a budget for lvl4 plates buy ceramic lapg plates not steel. ar500 was NOT meant for body armor it’s too heavy and does not have bullet absorbing capability it will send shrapnel into your arms ar500 is meant for a bullet to hit it and not ricochet so it will send all the bullet fragments too the side that’s why they’re good for targets. But tacticon’s armalite knock-off plate carrier doesn’t seem bad

[@cmptrgk16]

@@cronoslamar4061 idk man, check out some other videos. I agree on steel not being lightweight. They've done some in-depth videos showing how their polymer coatings prevent the shrapnel from getting out. Plus you can have multiple hits in one spot without major breakdown like ceramic.

i fuckin hate youtubes shitty quality for recent uploads

[@grumpyoldretiredcop8382]

It takes a lot of confidence to look at Chinese ripoffs of your products and actually note the good points instead of just pointing and calling them junk (which knockoffs are IMO). Well done and should point out why you buy the real thing. I think it would be outstanding if you made a "not a ripoff" patch with the Rex and hat.

[@willwatson492]

I'd be very curious to see a video with someone running drills with a chinese clone kit and the us version, and see how much it might affect them.
