How's the reliability? You think it'd make a nice home defense carbine?

Did you purchase one?

Bringing this thread back to life as im looking for a pcc. I would use it for home defense/shooting comps. Which is the most reliable out of Beretta Ruger Chiappa rak 9 (don't know if it's considered a carbine) Other brands? Would like something under 1000 if possible.

Bitmart

Lots of really excellent points made here. Im excited to see the potential new spot. Hopefully its a fit for me even if its just temporary. If not at least it seems a new future career is the way to go.

actually its extremely difficult to hire someone at my level at the moment. Even 90 acres (my former spot and also a top 30 restaurant) struggled for 4 months looking. I think they just found someone. The thing is unemployment is payong close to 60k a year to stay home and not work. You are right though on not making my new employer wait though. After meeting them next tuesday (im working 6 days this week plus a double) ill have a better idea .

Appreciate all the insight. Im meeting with them Tuesday to have a discussion and kind of see the opportunity and meet the team. If i decide to move on from my restaurant ill be giving then a very long notice to replace me.

Yeah work/balance doesnt exist in this industry. Theres a reason most chefs are divorced. I have no urge to open my own spot, as that will certainly never make the work/life balance any easier. Not to mention any concept I would be passionate about would involve a liquor license, which are about 1 million plus in nj . Im going to meet with my buddys boss next tuesday and at least hear about the opportunity. I think it would allow me flexibility to work on some other skills, while being paid more. Ive thought about meal prep services, marketing myself as a private chef, and consulting. Wouldnt be a bad thing to have a steady income higher than what im making now while working on those ventures.

I also forgot to mention in my initial post, this industry leaves zero time for family, holidays, rtc. 60 hours is the norm with little chance of that improving in my lifetime. The simple work/ reward is gone.

Any one here drastically change careers. Im 33, been cooking for 13 years and im currently the chef de cuisine of a top 25 nj restaurant. Honestly, im kind of over it. I make 60k a year and work 60 plus hours weekly on average. This doesnt include weeks with holidays etc. Im engaged to a beautiful woman who has an excellent job and were planning to buy a house and have a kid. I was offered a shift manager job by a buddy of mine at a factory. The hours are better and the pay is also. Seems like a no brainer. My passion for cooking has dwindled for sure. Probably due to the virus that nearly wiped out our industry as we know it , and a new generation of the softest, most entitled, and honestly trash cooks I've ever seen. The only thing keeping me from changing jobs is what happens in 10/20 years if I dont want to work there anymore or it closes/gets sold. I dont have a degree to fall back on (culinary school hardly counts as a degree). Maybe i can finish my degree with the extra 10 to 20 hours per week im not in a 104 degree kitchen. Ultimately im curious about those that have changed their career, how it worked out, advice. Part of me still thinks maybe i should just find an easier chef job, something corporate or a hotel.

I'll have a nicer lambo then ;)

Im in for 13 million shares. I hope it hits a penny !

Its a bit of a process, add money to coinbase, buy some bitcoin, transfer to bitsmart, sell it to usdt, then use that to buy it. Itll be on some exchanges next week so it'll be a bit easier soon but its always nice to be on the ground floor

As far as crypto i just got ibto safemoon. Might be the next pump and dump.

Anything you guys are looking at for the future? I wish i held my doge coin haha. Woulda been up a few grand.

How does this translate to the online ammo ban? Im praying that doesnt happen. Asking as a newb.

Its just like when a criminal breaks into your home here, better just run and hide rather than protect those you love. Nj sucks.

@High Exposure great shooting. Yeah im looking for baselines for drawing from the holster, 10 yards out, 15 yards out and moving from target to target. Im essentially trying to push myself to be more accurate so I get better at steel competetions.

What do you mean by a cloverleaf? Im not familiar with that term.

What is considered a good group at say 7 yards, 10 yards, 15 , 25? Maybe we can make this a thread about range trip pics. What gun you're shooting, distance, picture of target.

I think we should name the ffls and their prices. Nothing wrong with helping forum members save money.

Luckily me and the fiance have great credit. If only there was any inventory.

God this market is a mess right now

Awesome. I have a tool set and im gunna give it a go. I just wanted to make sure i had a backup plan. Im fairly confident i can handle it.

Im looking to replace my walther ppq trigger with a flat one. Its a drop in trigger (probably the apex). I want to do it myself but im also curious if anyone knows any shops that would do it? Approximate cost? Ive seen videos online of it being done in like 12 minutes. Im really asking incase i screw it up and need to bring it somewhere to fix it.
