You have a very action-packed job

My best friend was in the same field and he would always tell us amazing stories of protecting his clients. 


He once told me a story which seemed like a version of Mission Impossible 1, where the team was betrayed, and someone (his good friend) lost his life while protecting the client. 

I used to work at a 6 star hotel and would work very closely with the armed guards of supermodels/kings/diplomats, whenever these VIPs come. Cool people they are, and incredibly brave. Some days I’d be manning the hotel overnight and these elite teams are on-the-ball, always vigilent. 

He has an amazing collection of shotguns, rifles and pistols stored in his safe, and nowadays, he goes hunting for rabbits/kangaroos/wild boars and would often share the meat with us.

You must be a very muscular and fit man. It is a very rarefield field to be in. Wow!

As a result of changing my high-end private security job a week ago, I had to consider something as generally inconsequential as the color of my duty firearm.... Given that half a year ago when I purchased the Kimber SS Raptor II my original intent was to...

You have the one of 1911

IMHO custom in any hobby can be taste but mostly money game. TRP is pure taste and class game (regardless of price🙂). I would keep it factory spec.

In total agreement with you GM!!

I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments. I feel, as much as I liked the stock Kimber, the stock TRP is simply a better 1911 overall. It offers more pragmatic, duty-focused, options; plus I believe has a degree of higher quality finishing overall. If y...

My first reaction when I saw the carbon was how slippery it may become with sweaty hands, looks ready for active duty after your change!

get a chance to shoot and compare the ones I've owned to one or both of those!! I'll end up getting a 'top of the line' bespoke Infinity 2011 early next year, I already placed the order a couple of months ago........

Congrats on a sweet order!

For me these are recreation. I'm sure you could actually use the 1911s I have to their potential. To be honest since covid started and my range was closed I haven't gotten back into the swing of it much. Adding more kids to the equation also does eliminat...

I sincerely appreciate your compliments, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading your account of some of your friend's experiences as a personal bodyguard, but I have to say that I intentionally don't travel with the couple, only one person out of the five of us...

Ah you’d enjoy 1 movie

Man Vs Bee, starred by Rowan Atkinson. He was babysitting a house and all sorts of funny scenarios happened. I laughed thoroughly through the movie. It is on netflix now.=D

I've yet to meet this new client of mine since he's out of town at the moment, but given that he's got a few billion to his name, it'll be interesting to see which watches he's into, if at all........

I have zero idea as to what internal component differentiation may or may not exist in order to make this particular version (whose model number ends with CA instead of numerals) exist on the official California approved roster! Just goes to show how this...
