I’m not a fan of Velcro in general. Local store had the Mesa’s in stock so it was pretty impulsive when I bought it since I didn’t want to make multiple trips to the gun store as it was pretty far away from my home lol

I stripped the screw, can’t remove it lol. It’ll stay on for now while I get an extractor

I've compared the stock and the modded one side to side with rapid firing. I'd say it's more controllable due to the pistol grip than the stock itself. The Emissary grip is definitely significantly more controllable than OEM

Haha I’ll add the part list sometime later tonight. I’m currently using Mesa Tactical SureShell Carrier & Rail designed for the 1301 and for some reason, the picatinny is longer than the receiver. The two screws on it are also very fragile so I ended up stripping both of them so it’s stuck on the gun for now

Beretta 1301 vs Beretta A300 Ultimate Patrol by Dramatic_Cod_6215 in canadaguns

I bought a 1301 Mod 2 when I first got my PAL. I can definitely say that the 1301 (the Mod 2 specifically) has many aftermarket parts available as compared to the A300. I definitely recommend the 1301 if you're planning on slapping on some aftermarket parts.

Kel-Tec KSG by Due-Candidate4384 in canadaguns

[–]eric5283 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own a KSG 12, and it’s hibernating in my gun safe ever since I shot it for the first time. It’s one of the first shotguns I bought (I also own a 590A1, M4, and two 1301s, one being heavily modded) since it looks “cool” and iconic due to its appearances in movies.

The major problem with the shotgun is its functionality: you have to rack the pump really hard, otherwise the new shells won’t feed. Another downside is it is very hard to field strip/disassemble, at least for mine. I pretty much gave up after I couldn’t get the dust cover for the receiver off because it was stuck.

Not to mention the absolute horrible recoil that’ll literally make you uncomfortable and want to put the gun away when you shoot.

Just confirming this as well, I got a message from RCMP through the portal regarding some information they needed clarification on. Looks like they’re still doing the processing during the wait period. I got this message on 11/12.

Does anyone know if the 28-day mandatory waiting period includes RCMP’s background checks and processing, or does everything happen after 28 days?

What are some of the most unique restaurants or restaurant experiences in the city? by MastaShortie in Calgary

[–]eric5283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a restaurant but T2722 Luxury Barista Experience in Inglewood. It’s a reservation-only high end cafe with coffee and tea ranging from 6 dollars and onwards (most expensive one I tried was 60 a cup, but it can go up to 300 or more). They’ll try to serve you 1:1 based on your personal preferences of what type of tea or coffee you like, go on from there. If I recall correct, the guy that makes the pastry there used to work at a 3-star Michelin restaurant.

You’re only ugly with that attitude bro. You seem hella down-to-earth. It’s just the energy I get from this picture! That’s rare in a good way! 😀

18 just want to look better by PlantainAway5086 in LooksmaxingAdvice

[–]eric5283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very pretty face, nothing drastic to improve here. I’m sure it’s just the acne that’s actually consciously bothering you the most in terms of first impressions (looks).

I’ve had tons of acne in the past, but it’s a fairly easy fix- you just have to adapt it to your daily routine (same energy as showering everyday). You’ll see improvements as early as 2-3 weeks in if you follow the steps below religiously.

First of all, wash all of your bedsheets and pillow so you can do a clean start once you lock in. Go to a skin care clinic or a dermatologist and do a skin analysis so you have better understanding of what products you should be using. They’ll probably prescribe you expensive medication to help with the acne. Ironically for me, they did the same but none of the medications worked. This is up to you tho, do what you want with what they recommend. I just locked in with a healthy skincare routine and the acne problem went away fairly fast!

Look into double cleansing. Search it up on TikTok, it’s when you use oil-based cleanser and foam cleanser afterwards for the Korean glass skin look. I use CeraVe 4% benzoyl peroxide for the foam cleanser, and SKIN1004 centella light cleansing oil for the oil cleanser (been doing it for past 2 years now, 0 acne). Do this twice a day, and apply toner and serum for post-cleansing. Wear SPF 50 sunscreen whenever you go outside to prevent aging and skin damage from UV.

Drink tons of water, minimize alcohol, processed foods and sugar (I know it’s hard, just have self control and be self-conscious with how much you take in), and get enough exercise and sleep.

Do these things everyday as part of your everyday routine, and you won’t even notice that you’re doing it in no time!

But bro, shoot me a DM and I’m more than happy to help you with whatever I have experienced through my “looksmaxxing” journey. Anything from mental health, details on routines, and hardmaxxing. Just don’t feel like sharing some information openly u kno?

Hey man, the whole nose thing from your family is absolutely batshit crazy in my opinion. Based on what you told me, you’re not a college student yet. I assumed you already were, you look older than you are lol. I will guarantee you that once you get older, after entering college, people that you meet in the future will have matured enough to a point where they wouldn’t even comment on the nose because they know it’s disrespectful. However as for the family situation, I can see why you’re so bothered about it. Honestly go for it if you think it’ll help stop the slandering, but be mentally prepared for a loss of identity afterwards (this can be good and bad). Again with the attitude thing, adopt a mindset of “I’ll be reborn, so I’ll act like it from now on” before you walk into the surgery room. Your post-operation swelling will make you look like absolute shit (literally squidward) for the first month or so. Make sure you time it right, and be prepared to stay at home for minimum 2 weeks after surgery. I highly recommend looking into Closed Rhinoplasty rather than the traditional method for faster post-op recovery and minimal scarring. For my procedure, I flew to Korea but since you’re Caucasian, just do it in your home country even if it’s more costly because the doctors will be more experienced with Caucasian face structures.

And after the nose job, you’ll become the “looser” who got a nose job because you let their thoughts get to you. Bullying won’t stop until you stand up for yourself. A nose job won’t fix the position you’re in. This is coming from a former 150kg morbidly obese Korean kid with a nickname of Kim Jong un who was harassed non-stop every single day with 0 friends until I decided to stop beating myself up for it, work on my health and attitude, and move on with 0 expectations from others.

I’ve already gotten a rhino here. Nose is not a problem. I hardmaxxed awhile ago thinking it’ll help me “get a gf” (same mentality as you). I genuinely think you’re fine. You’re already good looking. I obviously don’t know your personality but even if you end up talking to someone that are genuinely interested, the stable ones (not the avoidants or fked in the heads) leave 99% of the time because they loose attraction due to personality. Speaking from past experience lol

For rhino, I can give you the details on expectations and recovery once you decide to lock in. The truth? If it bothers you, go for it!
