New Accessories for the Arex Rex Zero 1 Pistols

POTD: Dual Pistol Wielding Motorcycle
My friend Justin L. reposted this photo he found on a CZ group page. It is clearly a custom kydex holster for a dual pistol wielding motorcycle. We have seen some outlandish vehicle mounted kydex holsters for firearms but this is new and just a ridiculous. We have all seen the infamous Jeep ACR. However […]
