T.REX TALK

This is a quick episode talking about a potentially important case for firearms freedom, and how it was set up to give the firearm company that has come under fire a more strategic position.

There were a lot of Sidecar questions we didn't get to yesterday, so we're spending some more time talking about the holster system today. Again, this is probably better as a video, but there should be a proper audio podcast on Monday.  Video Link: https://youtu.be/q9O8E8yETSY Sign up for our newsletter here: trex-arms.com/subscribe/

Our Sidecar Redesign launched yesterday, and production is already in full swing! This is another episode that works best as video, since we show part of the new production line, and prototypes of the holster system and tourniquet holder attachment. There is also lots of Q&A from folks who are curious about all things Sidecar. Video Link: https://youtu.be/Ur2mZlEaB5A Sign up for our newsletter...

As T.Rex Arms has grown as a company, there is one department that has grown the fastest. Lucas will chat with our terrifyingly effective Customer Service team.  Video Link: https://youtu.be/VzkmCPJW8xM Sign up for our newsletter here: trex-arms.com/subscribe/

Isaac and Lucas try to summarize the lessons they've learned from a few years of holster-making, but since we are currently retooling a few things over at the T.Rex shop in order to make better holsters, it becomes kind of a comedy of errors or trying to avoid leaks and spoilers.

Isaac goes on a long weapons development rabbit trail after reading a gun control suggestion from activist Michael Cogbill . Not only do we have a right to self-defense, and a right to keep and bear arms, but the incredibly high value that civilization has placed on the availability of weapons has resulted in weapons technology driving a huge amount of all other technological development. Naturall...

Now that our free 3 hour long rifle training course has been up on our site for a few days,  Lucas will be taking questions about it! Oh, and before you go... "Some changes can't be made quietly. Our IWB holsters are temporarily unavailable for purchase while we finish the last major steps in retooling our production line." Video Link: https://youtu.be/iKCuxLBxgCk Keep in touch with...

Isaac talks through some basics of emergency communications networking. Spoiler alert: Software matters more than hardware. People are the network; radios and computers are the tools. The most important lessons we can learn from effective communication networks in the past are that preparation and relationships are key.  Video Link: https://youtu.be/6ZbY_ERuwCg Sign up for our newsletter here: tre...

UPDATE: This issue is hot enough that Biden already signed an executive order about it! Not that Biden Admin EOs mean much, since there are so many of them, and this one appears to just be an affirmation of some new FTC rules coming sometime. Nevertheless it's an important issue to discuss, and Louis Rossman is one of the most coherent and forthright proponents of the Right to Repair movement...

 Lucas talks through different ways to approach pistol and rifle training; with instructors, with videos, teaching yourself, and more. Just in time for dropping ammo prices... Video Link: https://youtu.be/RvWeOE2aHmY Keep in touch with us here: trex-arms.com/subscribe/

Happy Independence Day! Celebrate it while you can, and remember the sacrifices, stands, and lessons of those who fought for freedom.

Is it still worth buying analog night vision? How far away are decent digital options? Isaac talks through the strengths and weaknesses of both, and answers questions on how they work. We had some serious bandwidth issues with the Youtube livestream, which we solved with a VPN partway through, but the audio is clean.

Isaac attempts (and fails) to provide a brief explanation of how Gen3 night vision tubes are manufactured, mostly based upon the research of David Kitson: www.ar15.com/forums/Armory/What-you-will-find-inside-an-image-tube-article-for-those-who-are-truly-bored-or-interested-/18-340822/ Stay connected to us here: trex-arms.com/subscribe/

This an Audio-Only follow-up episode to Isaacs discussion on Disruptive Technology. Automation tools tend to be the most disruptive technologies, especially to large unions and government officials, and it's interesting to look through history at ways that advances in automation have been described as destructive, but  usually end up being highly constructive.

The ATF has opened comments on proposed rules changes on receivers and pistol braces. Isaac talks through how to leave a comment, why to leave a comment, and some more lessons from his ongoing study of the ATF itself.

Isaac follows up on Lucas's weaponlight video with an audio-only podcast about how much has changed in the flashlight world over the last few decades, how government regulation gets us the wrong kinds of disruptions when a truly disruptive technology appears, and he digs a bit deeper into the Olight flashlight can of worms.

Lucas answers questions and demos different ways to set up and run weapon lights on various platforms. This another demo stream that works better as video than as audio, but check back on Monday and Isaac will try to have some audio for you.

We're trying to treat this podcast more as a real podcast than a mere backup of our YouTube Livestreams, and so we are looking forward to your thoughts on it what should be. Also, Isaac talks through some of his initial takeaways from a new new study he is doing on the history of the ATF. It's... not real good. Stay connected to us here: trex-arms.com/subscribe/
