Duration: 20:13

This video provides a detailed comparison between Tier 1 Concealed and T-Rex Arms holsters, focusing on concealed carry performance. The reviewer, from Locs N Load Firearm Reviews, highlights that while T-Rex Arms offers modularity with attachments for rifle mags or tourniquets, Tier 1 Concealed holsters, specifically the Zephos V2, provide superior concealment due to a more effective claw design that tucks the pistol grip closer to the body. The reviewer prefers the Tier 1 Concealed holster for its better concealment, even with a larger pistol like the CZ P-07, over the T-Rex Arms holster for a smaller Glock 43X.

Quick Summary

Tier 1 Concealed holsters offer superior concealed carry performance compared to T-Rex Arms holsters, primarily due to their more effective claw design. This claw actively tucks the pistol grip into the body, enhancing concealment, a feature the reviewer found lacking in T-Rex Arms holsters where the claw is in line with the grip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between Tier 1 Concealed and T-Rex Arms holsters for concealed carry?

The primary difference highlighted is the effectiveness of the holster claw for concealment. Tier 1 Concealed holsters feature a claw designed to push the pistol grip into the body, enhancing concealment, while the T-Rex Arms claw is less effective as it's in line with the grip, offering minimal tucking action.

Which holster provides better concealment, Tier 1 Concealed or T-Rex Arms?

According to the reviewer, Tier 1 Concealed holsters offer superior concealment. This is attributed to their claw design which actively tucks the firearm's grip closer to the body, making it disappear more effectively, even with larger firearms like the CZ P-07.

Can T-Rex Arms holsters carry extra gear like a tourniquet?

Yes, T-Rex Arms holsters are designed with modularity, allowing attachments for items like rifle magazines, pistol magazines, or tourniquets. However, the reviewer found that carrying a tourniquet on the holster can actually reduce concealment by creating a more pronounced print.

Why does the reviewer prefer a Tier 1 Concealed holster for a larger pistol like the CZ P-07 over a T-Rex Arms holster for a smaller Glock 43X?

The reviewer prefers the Tier 1 Concealed holster for the CZ P-07 because it provides better concealment and allows for a more natural and secure grip acquisition during the draw. This is contrasted with smaller micro-pistols where grip can be more challenging, especially for those with larger hands.
