    Fantastic review David! I put in my order about halfway through!

    Thanks for the review David! was really waiting for this one!
    Question however, would you say the medium size fit is similar to the Rag & Bone Avery Cardigan?
    Thanks

    I would say if you take a Rag and Bone medium a Royale Medium would be correct for you...

    Hah yes I saw that on IG too - David, you must have been using Bond's Skyfall Lodge shotgun rather than his usual PPK! Either that or a helluva lot of rounds! :))

    David is shown and is allowed to experience many of the handguns that Bond uses in Part 1 of this series. Expert Ray Kromphold and FreeState Gun Range in Maryland provide the weaponry, expertise and environment to immerse the viewer into the world of Bond through his tools of the trade....

    Excellent vlog! The breakdown of each handgun was brilliant! Loved that prewar PPK and the fact that it was still in perfect firing shape. Thank you Ray and David, can't wait for part 2 -{ Might need a bit more practice though DZ, that stance and those shaky hands are looking a bit like you've been off enjoying death too long ;)

    Yeah I hear ya. No excuses but I did have to get up at 3 am to get there. Oh wait, that sounded like an excuse.

    Great VLOG David and looks like a great day out. Oh how I envy you chaps in the US sometimes.

    One tip don't snatch the trigger which should drop your shots down a little and tighten that grip reduce that extreme spread :D

    I won't even go into moving your MPI to the CZP. Not much adjustment on a hand gun lucky you!

    Cheers :007)

    Great vlog David and Ray! Especially liked the profiling of the gun range -- it definitely seems to have right attitude about guns and gun safety. I'll have to try to visit next time I'm in MD.

    Excellent, I was hoping you'd upload this! Thanks David -{

    ...Didn't realise your Armani was screen used, wow!

    Was expecting a "brought to you by Dominos" instead of the normal TBE tag at the end there :))

    Just wanted to let David know that this particular vlog made me chase down a vintage leather Samsonite Silhouette. The consumer impulse is a mysterious one! (apologies to OB)

    And that handkerchief trick is something I'm curious to try out - I don't wear cologne as I generally find it to be a bit much, but this might be the way to go.
  • The Bond ExperienceThe Bond Experience Newtown, PAPosts: 5,490Quartermasters
    I think you will love the Samsonite....already tested out mine.

    I'm trying the "bundle" trick this weekend (as I'm going to my folks') to see if I can minimise wrinkles... thanks for the tip, David!

    An exclusive interview with Jany Temime, costume designer for Skyfall and Spectre, now up on our YouTube channel! Thanks to our international senior correspondent, Blair Ballard, we have an amazing discussion with Jany with revelations, clarifications, and pure charm. You won't want to miss a second of this interview!

    Great video - had been waiting for this one!!!

    Liked very much how she confirms our thoughts that the funeral outfit was purposely chosen as a Mafia disguise rather then something Bond would wear himself.

    Did Blair see any Bond 25 contracts on her desk? :))
