      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

    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.

    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.

    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.
