Just got a job offer!
So, that means a celebratory boom stick may be in order sooner than later. I feel I might need some moral support on this guys.

Kel-tec PF9 + CC class
-or-
ak-74 Tantal variety + case'o ammo

Does this mean you are taking it?

I'd go the permit route.

Yeah. It's a choice between packages.

Congrats on the job offer.

If it was me I'd go permit... That's just my .02

Permit

I have pf9 and a p11, last Sunday I took a bunch of that cheap Russian ammo that Fleet Farm is selling out to the range. I never have liked the p11 because the trigger bites my finger and now I like it less, I really could not shoot it well, the pf9 on the other hand amazed me, I was shooting at 50 yds at snowbnanks on the bunker, I would pick a spot and a hole would appear there, then we set up pop cans on the 2x4 and resting my elbows on the table about every 3 to 4 shots the can would go flying, all this with a loose slide long pull double action sub compact 9m/m.

Wow. Maybe it wasn't fair to give the kel-tec a CC permit for a running mate.

I'd get the PF9 first, everyone needs a gun they can carry in nearly any situation (I love my 1911, but it just doesn't work with gym shorts), and your permit is another thing that everyone should get as well.

As far as the Tantal goes, while I'm a big fan of the polish design, the Century Arms Tantals (which is what Fleet Farm sells) have unlined chrome-moly barrels, and all the surplus is corrosive, so you've got to be mildly anal about getting those primer salts out of the gun before they start to attack you barrel. I think that buying a Saiga 5.45 and converting it yourself (not that hard of a job, just need to know how to rivet and cut metal carefully) is probably the better idea, sure, the cost is a little higher (rifle is same price, conversion parts and basic tools will run you 150 and up depending on what features you want and how "correct" to an AK-74M you want to make the Saiga), but you'll get a properly chrome lined and hammer forged barrel, and you'll have a rifle put together by Izmash and yourself, rather than Century (so even if you are a hack, you'll still probably come out ahead).
