- Lucas Botkin discusses holsters, mag carriers, war belts, competition-style belts, and other types of gear.
But at the end of the day... slinging lead to build skill is what matters. Gear or not.
Imagine breaking into Lucas’s house and you hear the timer start
Paul Anglin underrated comment 💀
you won't even make it inside after breaking open the door/window LOL
Lmao at this
*BOSS MUSIC STARTS PLAYING*
I see these types of comments often on professional shooters videos. And it's fucking stupid and proves that most people know nothing about violence. I've been in hundreds of violent life or death encounters, I've never heard a timer. I've never seen someone give someone a chance to prepare for the violence. I'm not saying this dude couldn't defend himself well. I'm saying nothing about this video gives any indication that he would.
"Its just equipment, it doesnt turn me into anything"
Most cant comprehend that fact. Way to go Lucas.
Hoss V11 buying all the tools, and wearing a carpenters belt doesn’t make you a carpenter. You still need to know what your doing.
It’s amazing that people don’t think that translates into firearm use.
I think for most people it's odd because they go to the market and see a safe society but everytime someone shoots up a place they're dressed liked a commando so it puts a bad taste in people's mouth. Truth is every americans household should have this gear
Well, I definitely produced some faster times after putting on my tactical morale patch.
A plate carrier is a modern day shield.
Rifle is the modern day bow & arrow and javelin. The pistol is the modern day spear and sword.
Coach 1092 right like who TF thinks civilians shouldn’t have tac gear
@@metalman7825 Delusional people who think there could never possibly be bad guys attacking good people because the police and the government have magical superhero powers and fix and solve everything.
@@skylerdrabing4323 They have magical superpowers called mind control. Its says so in their name from greek origin root word. "Governo" Control, "Mento" Minds of men. GOVERNMENT.
@Little PAW 1969 Yeah but kids nowadays are pussies and don't want to carry around the extra weight.
Lucas, thank you for being a voice for the true intentions of the 2A. The Minuteman prerogative has been forgotten by much of the country, unfortunatly it is looked upon as outlandish and unnescesary. It is a boost to hear a guy with a voice in the industry and culture to articulate this seemingly taboo issue. Keep up the good work brother.
Cal Pickrum 👆🏻💯
Absolutely
Try living in a country where it is illegal to defend yourself. If we arrive home to find our wife murdered and daughter being raped all we can legally do is phone the police. We have had our firearms taken from us as well as our freedom of speech. Our government has forgotten that our defense force was started with a militia. Somehow they believe that an inert object can spontaneously jump up and kill people. I will probably be arrested for posting this reply. Lucas is an inspiring young man who shows passion and obviously stands up for what he believes in.
@@BowhuntNewZealand sounds like my country. greetings from germany.
@@DeadSomething It's also the exact same here in Korea. Although such gruesome crimes are less rampant(maybe fake news is hiding it), we are suffering from the same moral and political crises as you badasses in 🇺🇸.

I mean... he’s always asking when he can come see me 😂😂😂
@@TREXARMS He missed all your ball games growing up, but he just wants to show he's proud of you
Modern day musket... I like where your head is at. I'm saving my money, will be making my first order from your website once I can do so comfortably. I support those who support the 2nd. Keep it up guys!
Yes sir absolutely great comment
I’m a prior 11 bravo now Leo that you’ve trained.
Keep hammering dude. I’m embarrassed of some of the comments I read from other vets.
Their insecurities are ridiculous and most of it is just fake tough guy talk.
Don’t let those negative people stop you. Keep it up brother.
Pagen Raider - Vet here and I couldn't of said it better..Lucas your a fucking machine! keep thies videos coming!
When the civi is out running the "badasses". It's probably cause he's doing it in skinny jeans though, hurts their masculinity.
Marine Vet here. Same thoughts. May not have the same life experiences, but Lucas obviously has some great skills and plenty of thought into his training.
Just validates that military experience doesn't automatically make you king ding a ling. it's called "basic training " for a reason
Definitely, applying knowledge gained through experience, and engaging in training that utilizes said knowledge to it's best advantage. Lot of service members close their minds thinking their tactics and training are the end all, when there is actually a lot better out there.They don't open there idea to the thought that there may better options. Even the way we room clear is quite archaic.
I like how he mentions other manufacturers products not just his. Good man. I will be buying from TrexArms soon. I like his Orion Belt.
same here. That belt would be perfect
Me too
Buy the Senshi.
Lol
The videos are starting to look like BF3 with the tint.
God dammit man 😂😂😂
Lol ich bin auch deutsch
European filter lol
this dude shoots like he's in fast forward hahaha its nuts! love this content
he's hacking
Have you heard of Jerry Miculek? If Lucas shoots in fast forward, then Jerry shoots at the speed of light. Both are terrifyingly good.
He’s fucking scary lmao I love it
@@9th-Circle Jerry is the king
From all the shooters-trainers-masters out there, i like you the most...
It's something about the way you move and the crispiness of it..
Many people don't unterstand that to move like this, you need to train your fitness too..
To start practicing the shooting, you need first to start building your stamina..
Tetrakosari Honda Turbo well good thing I’m ADHD coupled with martial arts training + swimming several times per week
TheInfantry98 If you want to be a pro it's one way...
Core strength is key to stable shooting “platform”.
I play call of duty.. Nuff said
KMAN 4TheWin 😂😂😂
I like the emphasis on training and that the gear is a compliment to the weapon. Always have good advice 👍
Thanks for all the advice Lucas. Always good to see the end of the video. That's real training. Outstanding job! Happy holidays.
First time watching your video. At first I was like “”What is this kid training for?”. When you tired it all together with the 2A and the need to train, you earned a subscriber. 18years LE, OEF 09-10.
Syrian invasion for me
Thank you both for your service!
Ok, So I was gonna talk smack as I watched first 5-10 seconds of his shooting because I assumed another you tube hero shooting fast but not showing hits BUT THEN my man goes to the plates 15-16 yards and had the accuracy to match the speed. Kick ass young blood!
The sheer level of proficiency you show at all levels of protective equipment really shows how important it is to train with gear ON. Great video, Lucas.
Happy thanksgiving everyone
When I grow up I wanna be just like you, and I'm 57. Keep up the good work, it is inspiring!
also, lets take a moment to appreciate the wide screen and high quality production
thanks TREX team
Fantastic video, probably the best one on YT regarding gear, training and preparedness. I actually learned a lot and have a renewed motivation to properly set up my equipment and seek out better training. Keep up the excellent work sir.
10:32 love the one handed running shots... kickass man
john mcenroe exactly what I thought
"It's just stuff to complement my weapon." Yes Sir.
I cant process the amount of commen sense in this video😂 in all seriousness, why do people think that gear is more important than practice? Great video!
RJ McMaster society for a very long time has believed its possible to trade skill for technology. In some ways yes but it only goes so dar
CODY ADAMS that’s why I wear 3 layers of plates, and four helmets when I go to Walmart, while open carrying my belt fed M240... No time so I’m always ready!
Cody Adams hopefully you’re never in a situation where you need it but if you ever are wouldn’t you be glad that you do have it ? But you do what you’re comfortable with
@Cody Adams well when the civil war happens you'll need it. I say when not if, because look at where we're at as a country. If you can't see a civil war brewing you'll be one of the first to go
@Cody Adams so you think Kevlar is "taticool" when the armed forces use it everyday? Your "taticool" bullshit is real life gear used to protect people everyday. How dense are you?
I've been running an Orion setup for 2-gun for a year now and absolutely love it.
At last the Arsenal makes an appearance !!
Orion Fixr I was starting to wonder if we would ever see it. I recently got a killer deal on a 106FR and man, it’s such a fun rifle.
@@jayellgee : AAHHH , you lucky duck !! Well enjoy it . You have an obligation to enjoy it for all us guys who can never afford one for our selves !!
No shit man
@@cryptotimmy1921 ; He's dressed it up some too. Flip up dust cover with Pic rail , red dot sight , Quad rail , weapon light ( on a mount I've never seen before ) and a stubby hand stop . Probably more mods. that I didn't catch. Trigger maybe ? I like how he says the mag changes are slower with the AK . I wish I could change an AR mag that fast !! LMAO !!
Sometimes with my training I can get my AK mags and just as fast as my AR mags because I shoot left-handed with right hand controls but I still operate it kind of the same some days it's faster some days it's slower
It honestly amazes me how humble Lucas is. He is the best shooter I've seen and he still remains humble and creates crazy high quality content for real shooters at all levels. Always is straight up and keeps it bs free. T.REX ARMS forever has my support and respect 10000000
This is probably my favorite video that you've ever put out, not just because it was informative but also because of the sheer quality of the the video production.
I never knew this rabbit hole of gear would be so damn expensive when I first started but damn is it FUN!
I just found this channel, and every minute I watch I am blown away by the quality of his advice, his common sense thinking, and his straight up operator level skill.
"that's not how this works. That's not how any of this works"
That slick reference got me. Thanks a ton for the information! I somehow didn't even know T-Rex arms sold gear, I thought it was just a guy and a range.
I absolutely loved your commentary at the end. Truer that yet to be spoken. We cannot complain about the results we are not getting with the work we didn't put in.
Love any upload from T-rex. Anychance we can get a "inside look" at the range? Different set ups/ obstacles/size of the land.
JUST the overview video I needed ! We all know how detailed each of these areas Holsters( IWB, OWB, Drop Holsters, etc). War belts, Tactical belts, plate carriers, mag holder options, etc, etc can be!! It's almost insane! Plenty of videos to deep dive on these - but this video is the perfect "Start Here First!! " step. LOVE IT!!! -Thanks for doing this and giving just the right amount of FULL WIDTH and perfect Depth to keep us from getting out into the weeds! Bravo
My humble Request - do the same exact thing with AR rifle/carbine weapons sights (electronic and passive - but not iron sights) and mounted lighting/laser applications - both of these for Day CQB and Day/Night tactical street/short-mid range engagements (like the bay you are shooting in this video - 100 yard max?). Again - just a "lay of the land tour" WIDE overview and just enough "nuggets of wisdom" Depth to keep us from chasing off into the weeds and getting hopelessly lost.
I KNOW how much work this above was - and I know my request is not a small one but after looking at these kind of things for years and years, and viewing all your other channel content, I really don't think anybody else could do it as well, nor have the experience to make anywhere near as Professional and PRACTICAL!
“If you dress up a pig, it’s still a pig.” - Lucas One of my new favorite quotes! 😂
Honestly the most helpful video about what gear to be wearing. Short simple and easy to understand.
The ending is just bad ass! Great video as always.
This dude produces THE MOST helpful content on the planet when it comes to firearms and gears.
Thank you for your advocacy for the Second Amendment. Articulated very well # ar is the modern-day musket... Speak the truth, Ride Hard, and shoot Straight.
And this is why and how I got into making my own gear. Though your nova belt has been phenomenal while I wait to design my own belts. These videos are always inspirational as hell providing the right amount of emphasis on what matters most and why.
Train till you fail. You have to fall to rise.
Fact I CCW with what I train with . Own many guns . Shoot 2 twice a week... and shoot the same guns , own 4 of the same one . that being said I have 2 bags of holsters and mag carriers . And other gear . Use the same two holsters. For CCW and train with them as well.
This is what this video addresses thanks , wish I seen it about 8 years ago when I started to CCW.
The money wasted, really was not wasted. I am human and it’s what was needed to get to the point I am at today. Thanks great video. Have a good thanksgiving.
Great video Lucas! Keep it up! I love more of the “this is the gear I use and why” type videos. Always love learning why people make the decisions they do. Happy Thanksgiving
LOVED this video. For a noob like me this was hands down the best, most informative video/conversation/overview I’ve ever received.
From the uk 🇬🇧 I love what you do and how you do it ,IMO I love you ethics regardless of the infringements on the 2nd amendment right to bear arms is amazing keep it up
Prior Army, 23 years (4ID call out). Keep pushing Lucas. You and Mike are putting out quality. Thank you.
Man I want to see videos of Lucas in competitions.
If I ever get in a gun fight I sure hope Lucas is on my side. The kids got mad skills.
We need more videos of you shredding with that SLR-104.
Jimi Henedrixson Seconded.
Agreed
have watched your videos a lot in the last month or so and i appreciate the knowledge you have and formatting. while some may not agree with everything you guys stand for i really appreciate you putting your beliefs in the front to carry your message. i just purchased an IWB to support you all and can't wait to try it out. thank you for the discount as well for protecting the innocent. we need more americans out there doing the same. thank you!
"It's still a pig........" greatest quote from this video. IMO.
Some of the best shooting montages yet! Now I just need more free time to get my reps in myself. Your content and Mike's are the best on RUclips imo
Lucas, well done man. I see you man, just realize lions need not be concerned with the opinions of sheep. So keep rocking man and ignore the haters. Respect
Well done T-Rex labs, you have made a good unit with Lucas here. Not only is he shooting fantastically, but y'all have also done an amazing job at giving him the processing power to be well versed in a variety of topics ranging from shooting to kit to the 2A
Good job lab techs!
I need firmware updates often though. Not fully self-aware......... yet.
I'm pretty sure Lucas is the CEO of T-Rex arms, though he doesn't brag about it. So, he has made himself into a good unit and an excellent entrepreneur.
Appreciate this vid, been wondering about a competition style setup. I have a battle belt setup and my ccw setup, but I want to start playing around with more sport style shooting. Love that your just giving personal opinion and not trying to swear certain equipment is the best on the market.
I thought he would have tell us to buy timer and staple gun after the rifle and pistol but it was a different type of gear we were talking about this time :D
STILL one of my FAV Lucas badass vids. He’s had some terrific training, esp throwing in the airsoft earlier on. We did that with our kiddos in TX. There’s a need for training the youth! Don’t forget they’re going to be there behind us.
The dump pouch is the junkdraw you take with you 🤣
This is exactly what I look for in instructional videos. Professionalism, Quality, Honesty, and Realism. Your choice of words and context was crystal clear, I followed you all the way through the video brother. Train Train and when you think your good enough and comfortable...KEEP TRAINING SOME MORE! excellent video. Easiest SUBSCRIBE EVER MADE 👍🏻
Perfect. Just in time for Xmas.
Lucas, you are indeed an inspiration - for training and preparation. Awesome shooting and 2A education!
I'd love to see a competition, between you, Instructor Zero, and Jerry Miculek - the fastest shooters I've ever seen! That would certainly attract a ton of viewers, to the 2A cause.
When are you guys makeing a holster for the 1911!?
Tom oof
@Tom lmfao NO IT DOSNT SUCK XD its a great gun!!!
The make side cars for the 1911
you talk the talk and you sure as hell walk the walk well done.... you show a extremely good work ethic... thanks for the inspiration and for sharing what you have learned...
Great advice about OUR Second Ammendments' purpose! God himself has made you extremely talented man!
Thank you for this video! Learned more, and gave me the answers to a number of questions for both EDC CCDW as well as getting into some more advanced classes I want to get into as I continue my firearms education. And it is tough finding comfortable gear being a larger guy.
“Gucciest gear” 😂😂😂 i like this guy
Great setup. Very informative. Training first! Master the basics,love how Lucas drills this!
Time to go broke
Edouard Bracame max your credit card and pay it back in month yolo’
Lorgar 😂😂
Very glad you mentioned the blurb on equipment, "mossy oak" shotguns, and the like. Love the channel!
Thought of the old ladies in that commercial when she told them, "That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. "
😆 hahahahaha
Thanks for the video,I try to learn as much as I can,being disabled and shooting are lil different than being able to get around as well as you do. But I still get out and shoot as much as possible so that I can overcome some of my problems!! Thanks again.
Great video, but oddly enough I feel like you talked a lot about gear you DON’T need for shooting/training. Going into this video, I was expecting to get suggestions like a good reliable pistol/rifle, multiple mags, sling, holster, shot timer, steel targets, a training plan...
HawkeyeMO72 To be fair, he has already done separate in-depth videos on basically all of this.
Thank you for clarifying your 2A stance! Amen! Every CITIZEN should have this stuff and train with it! Thanx Lucas!you rock, buddy!
I spent so much money on trying to look swaggy its rediculous xD
Crimson Hawk I like that his mag holders use a clip in old school I like paddle OWBholsters and magwell carries
@@nohandle74 priorities bro
Lucas is on fire! Highly motivating, thank you!
Just saying still waiting on that ak video
Bailey Smith Seconded!
I appreciate the time you put into making these videos. you have giving me tons of knowledge and inspiration thank you Lucas and film crew.
As soon as I saw the title I said to myself "A gun"
Always appreciate your videos man!! On point and easy to follow, you never talk over our head...Subscriber and fan as long as you continue to do your thing..
Everyone needs a dump pouch.. It's the Gucciest part of your gear..😂
AKABLACKKGYPSY 😂😂
You are definitely right. I picked up some OWB mag holsters for my belt and my reloads are absolutely smoother and more crisp now. You would be proud big bro.
9:50 That's not how this works. THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS! XD
ruclips.net/video/no0qB8CVspY/видео.html
At first I just thought you were a badass who trains hard for the simple fact of the skill. Now I know for a fact you have all the knowledge and thought put in that makes you a good dude. Subscriber for life
11:21 sound signature at that angle got my pp tingling.
Great info as always. You and your brother have to do another one of the low light videos. For anyone who hasn’t seen it I highly recommend it.
Half man Half machine
Moon it’s more 80/20 machine/human
Lucas! 8:20 is 🔥. I 100% support your business, your mission, and your views. Anytime I need gear or products I’d rather pay MSRP from you bc I know you test the crap out of it and won’t sell it unless you know it to be worthy. A lot of social media influencers are being washed out into the light, even some that are owning up to it, but I respect you and your company bc you, even at your young age, have had the wisdom to stay as far away from that paid advertising as possible.
I appreciate you recognizing that! The community deserves people who are genuine.
T.REX ARMS 2a deserves people that are genuine. 2a isn’t a sales pitch or a way to make a huge profit at the expense of others. It’s a freedom all others lean on. You and a few others realize that. You are much needed in this bastardized and NRA era of guns and freedom.
Perfect demonstration of autism
Damn, in that case I want to be autistic too in order to have access these high quality guns
If I were to ever go to war I would want you by my side Lucas, Bad ass shooting my man and some outstanding tips on gear and training.
I could watch you shoot all day. Truly remarkable shooting. Captjohn.
really good video and like that you mentioned training and getting on the range beats money. I am all ready sliding down the rabbit hole and enjoying your videos and my time on the range and reloading.
Great video as always! I just discovered your channel a few days ago and I am really enjoying your videos. No nonsense, direct and to the point.
Thanks and keep up the good work bud.
Excellent content Lucas, from production to presentation this is top notch. Thank you.
Love your vids keep em coming thx to everyone who puts these together very good
Awesome shooting. Great setups and advice and awesome weapons handling. Keep up the good work!👍🏻👍🏻
Just seen this video of yours. Very nicely said. Good reminder to everyone who carrys, shoots on Sundays, shoots once a year, wants to shoot.
Excellent points on 2A, and pretty much everything else. Very good vid.
Lucas your are so fluid , it great to see younger Americans support 2A and be vey knowledgeable. You inspire me to train and train .
This is one of those youtube channels you just auto like from the beginning. Awesome content all the time!
Great video, and I love the shooting montage that always accompanies these videos. :D
I have to say that when RUclips put your video on my feed that my first thought was yeah right, what am I, a former Marine grunt, supposed to learn from a kid on RUclips? Well, I kept an open mind and sure enough you're a hard working and knowledgeable guy and I'm glad I gave your channel a chance. It clicked when a SWAT guy liked your belt and I realized it was your / your rep company. Thanks for the videos!
