Ya it's ridiculous. This is exactly how I bag alot of work in KZN, guys are either lazy or slow

We fully booked until Feb 2025, and the guy 250m up the road from me has closed down, same niche market, same client base.

Anyways :) gives me time to shop as I am actually in no rush haha

In Jeffreysbay it is exactly the same. Everybody complians that bussiness is slow, but you never receive quotes.

1 Guy even came back to look 3 times, but no quote. Maybe 100k jobs are to small....... The 1 window company submitted a quote 3 weeks late and then phoned the next day to ask when can they start. Sori bud, the windows are done already.

I have a few friends with small businesses, they will jump at something that will make them R50 now, because down the line, it could land them something worthwhile.
A friend did a job for R5000, a month later, that some client came with another job for R45k. All because they were impressed with how she handled 'A small job'

I think people want to make a huge profit, on a quick turn around, and with minimal effort and unfortunately, not every one is that lucky.

I saw a Stribog(?) 9mm PCC in action on Sunday, very impressive kit with a side folder. If i had the money, I would consider one.

100%, there is no better business than referrals

I like the stribog, but the whole not being able to shoot JHP threw me off it

Really, that sucks big time. Might be able to use JHP with polymer tips? Which limits your choices, but maybe?

What about a Stribog means it's unable to shoot JHPs?

Seems like people having feeding issues.

The multiple videos showing it jamming when using defensive ammo?
Guessing feed ramp

Mag feeding issues seem to have been solved with the curved mag
