He had a lot of exciting, new ways of looking at things. “Paco” would post drawings that he made that would just blow these people’s minds. The site, at the time, was filled with people who ran or worked at silencer companies. There was a guy in there who went by the screen name “Paco Ramirez.” He would post drawings on there. This was a long time ago, but I never forgot the stuff I saw in there. One of my favorite websites to visit was Silencer Talk. I found myself in a trailer, with the internet, for months at a time. Q: First step would be building a proper team, I’d imagine.īobby West, CGS Group – I had spent some time in the oil and gas industry, out on location while the drilling was being done. If there was no limit to the team I could put together to make some progress – not to to make better candles, but to create lightbulbs – how would I do it? While they were good, I didn’t know why they couldn’t be better. I wanted to do suppressors, as I saw what was out there on the market. You would think if would be a silencer, but it wasn’t. As odd as this sounds, we first produced a firing device for explosive breaching. We learned that right away when the company first started and we developed our first product. Now, how much effort is required? That’s a different discussion, but we can. If somebody asks us to do something or there is a problem that needs to be solved, immediately we know that we can solve it. They come from an organization where nothing is impossible, and failure is not an option.
What is your approach to building that sets your company apart?īobby West, CGS Group – I give a lot of the credit to these guys I just mentioned. Q: We’ve heard a lot of good things about your suppressors.
Q: Can you clarify what these folks had retired from?īobby West, CGS Group – These guys, in particular, were retiring from the Army, with a special mission background. Perhaps we could give them something to do with their hands, keep them engaged with their peer group, try to help them transition into the civilian world, and give them a “soft place” to land. I started to think maybe there was something more we could do with these guys when they retired. They stopped doing what it was that they were doing, but then they started to look for another job. When these veterans had retired, it was not like they had won the lottery. The guys who put it on were super friendly people, and they were involved in the oil and gas industry. We have a unique relationship with a bunch of guys from a wounded veterans hunting experience that I was involved with. Q: Can you tell me a bit about your title and how the company, CGS Group, started?īobby West, CGS Group – My title is up for discussion, but you could say that I am the owner, along with my wife.
