    My wife also tried all on the list (several I have) and didn’t like them. The sw 380 ez was close, but I wanted to have a bit better round. She loves her Ruger LCR in 9mm with the larger ruger rubber grip. While it uses moon clips, it’s also made to run fine just dropping into the cylinder. 
    I was thinking of the lcr in 38/357, she would only use 38.  But I didn’t want another caliber, I can share the 9’s with all my other stuff, and moon clips are quick to reload.

    My office is on the north west side of Houston, in the Woodlands. They are bracing for impact. 
    Everyone I’ve spoken to has told me they are leaving the area until the storm passes. Thank God...it’s gonna be brutal. 
     

     

    How far and which direction do you go to evacuate, to Kansas?  That is a problem in Florida, they don’t know which coast it’s going to hit until the last turn is made. Last year they said will go up the east coast, so people fled north-west to panhandle, well it changed course and hit the west coast and panhandle. Also, weirdly enough that south-east Georgia is like one big flood zone, where my little northern corner of FL is not. 
    I hope they are safe!

    The idea for me was always to use gasoline...i do keep like 30gal on hand....but to use propane for short term use...

    If you were going to use propane solely.....to be the equivalent BTU of 30gal of raw gas...

    what are you propane guys running?  

    I run mine on only propane, a grill tank gets me 20 hours. According to the manual, 1.6 gallons of gas the tank holds will run 8 hours,  doing the math 4 gallons of gas would be the same runtime of a propane tank.

    I just bought a Firman made in America tri fuel. I plan to test it on propane and run on NG if necessary. Will post a review when she arrives and fires up. 5,500 w on NG should be OK. 

    Was looking at those Firmans at Costco, I went with the Champion 3400 duel fuel, and run it off my grill propane tanks. Runs very quiet, powers my essentials with clean power.

    Well it runs fine now but not so critical anymore as a 30 amp feed just doesn't cut it any more here in FL where central ac is considered a life support system. And I am not wiring/plumbing the house again to work off a portable anyway, looks like a real standby is in the future.

    Instead of getting a large gas sucking genny to power the full ac, I picked up a small window unit to run off my champion inverter.  Clean power to keep my fridge, computer, and window ac running. I can get 20 hours off a grill propane tank, with several stacked up I am good.

    After getting fucked over by Ford with my wife's focus ill never own a Ford again unless it has a carburetor. 

     

    This. I used to be a ford guy, until my wife’s escort had the engine fall out, hanging by the cv’s.  Had the warranty, ford would not cover the bill, said the motor mounts were covered but not the bolts, it was the bolt that broke.  12+ new vehicles later, and none of them a ford.

    As you have a g43, get the Sig P365 instead. It’s 10+1, even though it’s shorter there is more length in the grip over the 43.    Where I get 2 fingers on the 43, I get 2.75 fingers with the stock flat 10 round mag, which is easily controllable. For the length of the 43x, I have factory 15+1 with the Sig at the same length.

    @SW9racer he made you take it out of the water because it was an unregistered power boat with the little trolling motor.  If you rowing, paddling or sailing it you'd have been okay.

    I am just a bad story teller. The motor was not mounted nor installed. The inflatable had no place to mount one. It was in its box in the boat, my plan was to hand-hold it if needed. The box was not even visible. The point was he was looking for revenue. How does this pertain?  If someone starts poking around, you are at their mercy if they tow your boat and you can sort it out later at your expense.  Register your boat in PA.

    I remember gettin stopped on the Delaware by that ultra high tech njsp yaht once. They didn’t board, but I was in one of those inflatable k-mart rafts. Was fishing in about 3 feet of water, just off shore of the camp ground at the water gap. Had my licenses, had my vest and whistle, he got visually upset there were no tickets to give out. I had a toy trolling motor ran on a 6v lantern battery on the floor, in case I got stuck in  the tide. Made me walk it back to shore, said it has to be registered to use it. Then he cranked up his twin engines and yahted off to get the next tourist.

    How often is your power out when you really need AC? Thats alot of extra money just to run your condenser between the generator plus proper wiring and gas pipe. Id just run a fan at the foot of my bed and buy a new gun. But then again I grew up without AC 

    This, or just buy a cheap window unit or two.
