  • EDIT: I guess my true answer to your question is, a very nice watch.

    To me, a suit is a sign of weakness. Only two types of people “suit up” to go to work. People selling you something and lawyers. You dress up for an interview because you are selling yourself. You dress up for sales meetings. You dress up to impress someone or as a sign if respectful submission. People who are confident in their skills and/or their position do not try to impress with clothes. A good cake doesn’t get covered in fondant.

    Source: I am the CEO of a tech company that deals with some of the largest energy firms in the world. Some of my closest friends are C-level execs of very well known companies. We all dress comfortably. Most times I’m wearing cargo pants, tee, skate shoes and a cap.

    PS: A nice watch is a must though. At least for me.

















  • My favorite pistol is a Para Ordinance Tac Four LDA. The LDA acts in a very similar manner to Glock’s once a round is chambered (hammer cocked). The Light Double Action still requires a full pull to discharge but it has a similar trigger tension to a Glock rather than a traditional double action. The reason this weapon is my favorite is because in addition to the accidental discharge safety feature it also has a full grip safety which requires you ti actually palm the weapon, and a manual thumb safety. There is absolutely no way to argue accidental shooting with that weapon. Even if you chamber a round, cock the LDA, palm the pistol, disengage the manual safety, your finger was on the trigger and it somehow twitched, the LDA’s travel and tension is such that the weapon would still not discharge.

    Does it require extra training to get the safety on/off motion to be muscle memory? Yes. Does the weapon have a slower “rounds per second” than a Glock? A little bit. Do I feel more comfortable with it in my hand than a Glock? Absolutely. I wish Glock had an model that integrated all of the features that used to be in the Paras.
