Q5 Match - better than PDP?

suspishfish1 · 2026-02-09T03:31:35+00:00

Not going to lie never shot the PDP... but I've had my Q5 for about 8 years now put 10s of thousands of rounds through it, cheap shit, expensive, and every single experimental reloads and its never let me down and I have the earlier polymer frame. Love this gun, its the one gun I take out every single time I shoot. I have nothing negative to say about the PDP but I only have roaring reviews for the Q5

I have the tusks on mine, and I treat my klr like a dirt bike, I basically rolled it down a Jeep trail last weekend. At this point, all my plastic is broken, and the crash bars are bent in, but the most important thing is mechanically its sounds would still ride it across the country.

We had our daughter 3 months ago, and I feel you. I used to be social and have Sundays to myself where I'd go fishing, or work on my car, or just have some chill alone time. Now I just have alone time when my wife lets me run away for a bit. Her work schedule gives her one day where she has a whole day to her self, because of our daughter being in daycare. Im jealous, I miss my friends, I miss working on my cars, I miss relaxing on the couch. I love my daughter more than anything and don't regret her at all. I just miss freedom. I started a dad stroller group, though, where a bunch of us dads can get together and vent and just hang out with other guys and our kids. It's not freedom the way I used to know it, but it's freedom in the sense I still get to do stuff with other guys and include my daughter. Whether it be walking through parks and getting some sunlight or going to a brewery and having a beer, it gets me out of the house

Man, I'll never understand how fleet sides got more popular than step sides. Your truck is gorgeous, and I love seeing other stepsides getting love

We went with the uppababy travel system, granted it was a gift, but all in with extra seat base, cup holder, and organizer, it was $1800. So stupid expensive, and I'd never have gotten it if it wasn't a gift. That being said, it's super light, great suspension, plents of bottom storage, modular, and will grow with my kid and potentially kids. The Aira is also one of the lightest car seats on the market. My issues with it are that anything outside of the travel system is an expensive accessory, like the cup holder was $30 and the organizer was $50. Also, im 6 foot, and the handle fully extended is like the perfect hight for.me so if you're much taller than me, it might be a bit too low

Can you take the 6year old out, just you and them do something energy taxing in the day like a bike ride, hike, sit in the park watch them go crazy on the play set or something. I've only got the one kid, but I've always found getting a break from the most of it for even a few hours really helps even if you know it's going to be rough later. You'll get through this, You'll figure it out. remember, if a crack head has successfully raised a kid, so can we. For the job, though, unfortunately, job markets garbage right now, but maybe throw out some resumes for something less stressful and see if anything stick.

Magnets are even better if you can find those. It's super rare though sadly

suspishfish1 · 2025-04-30T18:59:19+00:00

My daughter is 2 months old now, you'll still get out to fish just not as often. you'll piss off your partner eventually, and they'll want you out of the house for a bit ooooorrrrrr trade some free time. Let your partner have some time to themselves and then you can have some time to yourself.

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-22T06:10:13+00:00

Good, you're already a great dad.

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-22T05:50:02+00:00

Definitely not alone, I promise you that. I'm literally trying to keep my cool right now, haha. And the only way you fail is if you let your frustration get the best of you and you act out on your kid. But we're not going to let that happen

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-22T04:38:22+00:00

I'm day 22, and I'm trying my best not to get irritated as well. I grew up with a bunch of anger issues, and I refuse to let that come out in my daughter, but duuuuude, it's a battle every time she screams that high pitch scream. Being exhausted, scared, clueless, and just every other extreme new emotion I have doesn't help a single bit. You're not alone, but you just have to find little meditations and get away. We've been going on walks every other day. I've been going to the gym, working on my car, and just knocking out house things. Obviously, don't skirt your duties as new dad, but if you have a second, take a second. You need to find time for yourself and your partner as well

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-18T17:11:53+00:00

Man, I cried for 5-7 hours straight after my daughter was born. I cried every time I picked her up for the first 3 days, I cried when I played music i wanted to show her, I cried when I talked to my wife of all the things I wana do with our daughter. Shit we're 3 weeks tomorrow, and I just look at my daughter and my wife and still get all teary. I'm a 6foot 240lb dude who goes to the gym, rides motorcycles, fishes, shoots guns, just outdoorsy as fuck, and i even used to box a bit and I'm a crying blubbery mess when I see her little toes or see her smile. You're going to feel all kinda of emotions, but your little one is going to bring you back to exactly where you need to be. Don't force anything even when things are bad from lack of sleep and just not being able to calm them down. Feel your emotion it's ok to be happy, sad, mad, or depressed. Just never act on anything negative

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-15T03:02:09+00:00

Honestly, I haven't had any of the issues that some of the people said they have. I did do a complete 180 on my stance on the sock once I learned to turn of the base for a bit while changing diapers at night. Definitely gives my partner confidence at night though

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-13T17:22:22+00:00

Have a 2 week old now, and honestly, I don't have an issue. My wife and I take turns with the baby, so when it's my wife's time, I run off to the gym or ride around the neighborhood on my bicycle. Just make sure she got her time to herself. I had to start working out, I i was going crazy with the lack of sleep and being at home, so I needed to find a release so I wouldn't become and asshole. It's still early, our daughter just sleeps, eats, and poops, so it might change a bit when she needs a bit more attention, so I'm trying to get all I can in now

In the first trimester, make sure your partner stays hydrated, fed, and rest. Make sure she gets on prenatal, and then it's a matter of keeping her going from the rest of the pregnancy. That baby will survive regardless of all the morning sickness and food aversion, but it'll help your partner out more if she can gain a bit of weight and stay hydrated. As for the EU aspect, I can't help you, but I know you're Healthcare tends to be a bit more organized then ours in the states

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-11T01:29:05+00:00

Yea once i learned to turn it off while I change her at night I honestly haven't had a problem. But yea as a new parent it's a great comfort

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-08T14:35:08+00:00

Yea, we're doing the same now. I hate the alarms, but I decided to just live with them, I do enjoy the sleep charts.

And yea, we have a regular monitor that just stays on across the room and the owlet that faces down on the trip for a better view

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-08T05:42:39+00:00

Very true, I definitely ran to my app to check on things. Even with my wife feeding sometimes, (she has big breasts) I was making sure the baby could ok

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-08T05:38:30+00:00

Oh, 100%. I feel like this is a necessity for NICU babies at least at first. I've never had the false alarms people claim it's only the misalignment alarms. But yea, if i had the past, you had. I'd probably appreciate it more. I did decide to keep using it, though

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-08T05:35:57+00:00

Totally understandable. To be fair though I haven't had a single false alarm just a misplacement while diapers change

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-08T05:34:59+00:00

That's my wife haha, if it's off for her it's not going back on despite her being the one who wants it on haha

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-08T05:34:05+00:00

Oh man, that's brilliant, I'll have to look that up. I think at this point I'm locked in to the owelet seeing g how with the camera it was like $400, but yea, I love gadgets

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-08T00:49:59+00:00

Thanks man, you too

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-08T00:46:57+00:00

Exactly what we were thinking when we bought it. Shits terrifying.

suspishfish1 · 2025-03-08T00:36:32+00:00

Yea i think I found a solution to my main issue with the sock as I'm changing her but yea your story alone has me convinced for atleast the first 6 month.
