Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of the T.REX ARMS Ironside holster's design?

The Ironside holster features an integrated concealment cant or wedge directly molded into its design. This feature actively pulls the firearm's grip closer to the body, significantly improving concealment compared to holsters relying solely on belt clips.

How has T.REX ARMS evolved its holster manufacturing?

T.REX ARMS has transitioned from early, manually produced garage prototypes to high-volume, high-quality production using advanced techniques. They now leverage CAD design and CNC machining to create holsters with complex, integrated features like concealment wedges.

Why are CAD and CNC important for modern holster design?

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining allow for the creation of precise, complex geometries in holsters, such as integrated concealment cants and wedges. These features enhance firearm concealment and are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manual manufacturing methods.

What type of holster is the T.REX ARMS Ironside?

The T.REX ARMS Ironside is an OWB (Outside the Waistband) concealment holster. It is designed for effective concealment while being worn on the exterior of the waistband.
