    Are you guys thinking of doing retention holster



  2. Condition0 on November 4, 2021 at 5:48 pm

    Sidecar for P-07 w/inforce aplc please🙂



  3. musician445 on November 4, 2021 at 5:50 pm

    Trex sweepy boi.



  4. Dexter Sibley on November 4, 2021 at 5:50 pm

    Glad to hear some of the old holster are coming back, I got really sad when I saw the sidecar I was going to get was taken down.



  5. Mathias on November 4, 2021 at 5:55 pm

    Have you been in the millitary?



  6. DarnThatDragon on November 4, 2021 at 5:56 pm

    You guys should take a look at a horizontal machining center like a makino 61. Better yet a DMG DMU 80duo block down the road. Pallet pool 5 axis changes the game and will give you lights out production in 3-5 months.



  7. Andrew Delashaw on November 4, 2021 at 5:56 pm

    Your claymore sidecar says it’s made out of 0.80 Kydex. Although you don’t say whether that’s in indeed or mm or cm. So it’s obviously not 0.80 inches and not 0.80 mm is too thin. Might want to change it to "0.080 inches."

    Jesus would tell you to wear a mask. A mask right now can protect someone just as effective as a firearm. Seems you are just not doing it just cause, "fuck the government" wish you would state your position as you state "you’ll be the one not wearing a mask". As protectors and followers of Christ seems childish and selfish. To bad for thy neighbor because you have principals of being told what to do. Moral compass isn’t pointing towards god friend. Sky daddy literally tells you how to live your life Everyday, lol. You’re a walking contradiction.

    That being said, its cool to see y’alls place. Still liking what you guys are doing. Just don’t agree with a few things.

    "We’re a Mac-free machine shop at the moment." As the lord intended. Professionals don’t use Macs.



  10. Joe on November 4, 2021 at 5:58 pm

    Very cool!



  11. wombatt360 on November 4, 2021 at 5:58 pm

    I want to come work for you guys.



  12. FortySixandDeuce on November 4, 2021 at 6:00 pm

    Glad to hear y’all are upgrading and that VP9 holsters shall return.

    22:40 Can you recycle those aluminum shredded chips, and shredded plastic pieces everywhere?? For the good of the planet , can you sell those scraps for some profit? for your own benefit?



  15. Christian Country Girl on November 4, 2021 at 6:05 pm

    Lol 55:04😂😂😂



  16. T.Jentzsch on November 4, 2021 at 6:08 pm

  17. Keith Westmoreland on November 4, 2021 at 6:08 pm

    Hello from centerville Tennessee…. every time I could see Lucas I enjoy our conversations I cannot wait till I can come out to y’all’s building so much I want to buy



  18. burtonryderx on November 4, 2021 at 6:08 pm

    I love to see the analytical description of your manufacturing processes. As a process engineer, this is entertaining to see your methods and control methods. It seems like you are continuing to move towards OEM Automotive level quality in your process and efficiency. I laughed at your comic sans comments.



  19. j on November 4, 2021 at 6:09 pm

    "Tewels"



  20. Hood Tactical on November 4, 2021 at 6:09 pm

    Awesome shop I just ordered a side car a few days ago I whent with the dark gray and multicam with no light I can’t wait to get the new design thanks guys !



  21. Khiem Le on November 4, 2021 at 6:13 pm

    Can you show us how to zero the rifle effectively?



  22. jfalken86 on November 4, 2021 at 6:13 pm

    "Everything we do is completely OSHA compatible and compliant." *Camera immediately pans to trip hazards* I blew coffee onto my keyboard!



  23. Zachary Beacock on November 4, 2021 at 6:14 pm

    It’s increasingly refreshing to hear about progress, success, and by acts of God.
    Like 16:10
    He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.



  24. Nathan Whittier on November 4, 2021 at 6:16 pm

    Isaac really has a dislike for comic sans font..lol



  25. Rockstar6111 on November 4, 2021 at 6:17 pm

    Are you guys implementing lean?



  26. Matthew H on November 4, 2021 at 6:17 pm

    2-3 week lead time actually means a 2-3 day lead time by t-rex arms terms and that is okay by me 😊 great work guys!!



  27. Karson Westerkamp on November 4, 2021 at 6:17 pm

    Love love love that you guys are focused on Jesus & how you can glorify Him in all that y’all are doing! Unmatched customer service, excellent quality, and looking forward to continuing in supporting your business & supporting the entirety of the U.S. constitution together!



  28. Mykol Curiel on November 4, 2021 at 6:18 pm

    Watching this while assembling AH-64 parts 😎 God bless America 🇺🇸



  29. SuperDimi111 on November 4, 2021 at 6:20 pm

    God bless you guys



  30. Stephen Sackreiter on November 4, 2021 at 6:22 pm

    Smooth precise fitting holsters, high quality well made. Fast turnaround. Awesome company!



  31. Platinum Content - 4k Gaming on November 4, 2021 at 6:24 pm

    Shoot Guns



  32. PeppinoS555 on November 4, 2021 at 6:24 pm

    I used to do cnc machining operate and setup on Haas mill machines. M30



  33. Ric Gunt on November 4, 2021 at 6:27 pm

    You guys need to have more model options like tier1 and more endorsements for instructors to really make you guys even bigger. Love your product.



  34. William McAllister on November 4, 2021 at 6:28 pm

    I love my sidecar for my g19 it was definitely worth it



  35. Nomad on November 4, 2021 at 6:29 pm

    I would like to see you guys make a retention holster like safariland does. It seems like you guys would be willing to address more pistols that takes dots from other companies



  36. 00sevensargent on November 4, 2021 at 6:31 pm

    best IWB holsters for sure but for OWB I went with a company that does level 2 holsters. I am excited to see you guys grow.



  37. Byron Allred on November 4, 2021 at 6:32 pm

    my Raptor holster for my Cz75 does not have a "click" when I re-holster my weapon, is this normal?



  38. Phantom3575 on November 4, 2021 at 6:33 pm

    Can the waste kydex be recycled for use on another holster? Is the a way to reform multiple used pieces of kydex to new sheets?



  39. AllProCombat on November 4, 2021 at 6:35 pm

    Paitently waiting for that pl350 release so I can order a new sidecar and ragnarok from you guys!



  40. NotUrAvrageNoob on November 4, 2021 at 6:35 pm

    19:46 "…but God continued to grow T.REX as a company…" That is what humility towards God looks like!! God Bless the longevity and productivity of T.REX ARMS and God Bless all our Constitutional Rights.



  41. Michael Lynn on November 4, 2021 at 6:39 pm

    Thanks for the shop tour. Your Ragnarok remains one of my favorite holsters and definitely the fastest for draw to first shot. One typical question for any manufacturing process: what do you do with all of the scrap kydex? Do you have the ability to recycle and reuse it to make additional holsters?



  42. Dylan Lewis on November 4, 2021 at 6:39 pm

    I was going to say, I swear I saw in the drop down menu a G19 with Surefire XC1-B so I ordered the light and then went back a couple days later and the holster option was no longer available. Totally bummed.



  43. musician445 on November 4, 2021 at 6:39 pm

    St. Patrick’s Breastplate was an awesome recommendation. Thank you, listening on repeat by several different artists.



  44. Dope02WRX on November 4, 2021 at 6:39 pm

    Made in America 👏🏻 Just seeing your production got me sold, not sure if you’ve looked into p80 compatible holsters but they would definitely sell, and wouldn’t require much retooling. At my shop (automotive/racing industry) we just added 4 haas’, amazing machines also made in USA. Keep it up!



  45. Craig Steinkamp on November 4, 2021 at 6:39 pm

    Do the shopbots have names? If they don’t I feel like the velociraptors from the new Jurassic Park names would be fitting.
    Really enjoyed a view inside the honeycomb. Looking forward to the other reading list episode Issac has slated.



  46. Wilder Barrera on November 4, 2021 at 6:40 pm

    Are there any plans in the near future of offering a Ragnarok and/or OWB Holster that will have a mag holder incorporated into it like the sidecar?



  47. spoke1183 on November 4, 2021 at 6:41 pm

    ohh shit its Chad.



  48. Dalton Woods on November 4, 2021 at 6:45 pm

    It’s crazy to see the work that Lucas and the team have put into this business. Major respect



  49. f308gtb1977 on November 4, 2021 at 6:45 pm

    Food for R&D thought…

    one light-bearing holster model can fit an HK45, HK45T, P30, and a P30L.

    A non-light bearing holster can fit all of those, PLUS an HK45C, HK45CT, and P30SK, if you get the trigger-guard portion right.

    That could be enough bang for the R&D buck to throw some love the H&K guys’ way.



  50. swolebro on November 4, 2021 at 6:46 pm

    Sure you have your OSHA-approved eye protection amulet, but where’s your CDC-mandated chin talisman!?

    Though in all fairness, goggles, earplugs, gloves, and sometimes P100 respirators (none of that N95 rubbish) do have a valid use in a workshop, unlike a face mask.
