I believe the difference is one has a sealed carb that meets stricter CA emission requirements, go for the cheaper one. I have the electric start one rated at 7500 continuous and it works great.

Securing my Generator
That is very interesting about the code change. I guess it sort of makes sense if the two rods are at different reference potentials, but on the other hand having a ground closer to the source of a problem sounds safer too. Maybe that is why it was one way and now another way. I know that my swimming pool panel has its own ground separate from the one in the house which was code at the time. So are you saying that bonding and grounding a pool circuit is different now also?

Securing my Generator
Of course it is possible. Haven't you ever gone to a mechanic that works on cars with the engines running inside a garage? They attach a hose to the tailpipe and run it out a little hole in the garage door. The same thing can be done with a generator. That is what I did with mine that sits in the dog house. It has a pipe about a foot long that dumps the exhaust out behind the dog house.

Securing my Generator
Actually he said this: Yes, I realize what I have said here. I'd love to have a custom exhaust made for my portable generator so I could pump the exhaust out of my garage. I'm not going to because of the risk of fire and such. Maybe when I build my shed I will. Which says to me he is running it in the garage without any exhaust mechanism. Actually very little CO in the house from range, dryer or water heater as they all have dedicated vents to the outside.

Please rewrite your will so that I will get all your guns. I will be getting them very soon if you persist in using a generator in a garage that is attached to your home. NOT a good idea!!!!

True, but that has nothing to do with a squad. Squads are mixed by division all the time.

Crap my weather app is now saying 30% chance of Freezing rain for Saturday morning. That is where I draw the line. I did Old Bridge at 20 degrees and 20 mph winds, but freezing rain - NFW !!!- Registration open USPSA Dec7 at Shongum
Maybe not, you have been doing this since you were a kid, I have three or four years on you and only first touched a gun last January.- Registration open USPSA Dec7 at Shongum

Not concrete, as its just a "dog house" not a permanent structure Its on heavily tamped ground and then sits on 1" thick slate. Here is a shot of the framing: Probably built better than some houses- Securing my Generator
CO is not the only issue, as I mentioned before make sure the generator is grounded. Too many people get electrocuted using ungrounded portable generators. Remember there is a high probability you will be using this thing in the rain and snow and electricity and water don't mix well.- Securing my Generator
Sounds like you should be good. Do you really have a problem where you are that you expect someone to steal it? This is what I did with mine, I built it its own house: The eves are open and I have a big fan in the house for air circulation and an extension on the exhaust pipe to send the exhaust out the back. This keeps it safe and dry, and muffles the noise so you barely know it is running. If you have not already done so, drive a six or eight foot copper rod into the ground and secure it to the grounding lug on the generator. Too many people fail to ground these things and that is just asking for trouble.- Registration open USPSA Dec7 at Shongum

Thanks Alec. I am ok with it either way. I've tried Russell's and love the gun.- New STI Rollmarks

You need a holster and mag pouches a gun and ammo. If you want to shoot production, that is a standard gun from the factory with no modifications (well some slight but lets just say none for now) then you should shoot one of your 9mm guns as production is all scored as minor. If you want to shoot major then either your .40 or .45. You can shoot those in limited 10 or the .45 assuming its a 1911 in single stack. When you shoot major the scoring is 5,4,2 for the A,C,D zone on the target whereas it is scored a 5,3,1 respectively in minor. Thus if you shoot the larger calibers in production you penalize yourself as they are only scored as minor. If you feel you are best with your .45 that is fine, but don't shoot in production. Actually if it is SA you can't as in production the gun must be in double action mode when you draw it from the holster. If you have other questions just ask as there are many here much more experienced than I am that can chime in.- Shout out to the RTSP RO's

No one has addressed the issue, but how is it legal for this storage company to come to your home and pick up your handgun and take it to store at their site and then deliver it back to you. Doesn't the law consider that an illegal transfer?- LaserLyte training
Let me know if it works with the SIRT as I have heard some reports that it does not, and would like to know the true story.- Speeding tickets issued on the highway are stupid.
Yup these tickets are just to raise revenue not for safety. If they really cared about safety they would pass a law that it is illegal to pass a patrol car with its lights on and just have them drive that way on the highways at 55 mph - all speeding just solved.- Storing your guns in another location
That is very interesting if it is legal its a new one on me. I went to their webpage and they even offer a service where they will pickup your guns store them and return them. Maybe fine for long guns but I don't understand how that is anything but an illegal transfer of a handgun. Someone please educate me on this. - Registration open USPSA Dec7 at Shongum
