Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Sidecar SD Attachment for concealed carry?

The T.REX ARMS Sidecar SD Attachment is a Kydex holster accessory designed to securely carry a suppressed pistol. It integrates with the T.REX Sidecar Spine System and comes in variants for both 'fat' (like Omega 9K) and 'skinny' suppressors.

Can you reliably conceal carry a suppressed handgun?

Yes, conceal carrying a suppressed handgun is practical with the right gear. Key considerations include the suppressor's length, the holster's design (like the Sidecar SD), and ammunition choice to ensure reliable function and manageability.

How does ammunition affect suppressed handgun performance?

Ammunition choice significantly impacts suppressed handgun performance. Heavier rounds like 147gr or 158gr subsonic 9mm tend to cycle more reliably and are quieter than lighter, standard velocity loads, reducing backpressure issues.

What are the advantages of 'K' size suppressors for concealed carry?

'K' or short suppressors offer better balance and reduced weight on a pistol compared to full-size models. While louder, they often improve reliability and handling characteristics for concealed carry applications.
