    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I'm guessing you will want two lights, one for the boat that is more a spotlight and a flood one for the bike.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Any opinions on the beretta storm 45...believe it is called Px4 , checked one out a while back and it seemed to fit in my hand well, and comfortably... also held a 45 cal desert eagle man that gun is big heavy as fuck, dont think they sell alot at 2,000$ lolMy carry gun is the PX4 compact 40. I love the gun, but for me it is not carry friendly. It took me a while to realize this. Great gun, but it is very top heavy. A full clip helps to balance, but once you start emptying it, it is more difficult to control recoil. At least for me. I am actually looking into a smaller caliber for carry. You see many people concerned about "knockdown power." I don't buy into it. I'd rather be able to control a grouping quickly and precisely and load a body up versus emptying the clip of a larger bullet and hoping several hit. I really do love the Beretta; it's the smoothest thing I've ever shot, but it's just not a great carry option for me. Pick any modern bullet from .380-.45ACP with a modern hollow point technology and they will do the same thing. Regular ball ammo? That changes things, but this isn't the 80's nor the military so that doesn't apply. The S&W Shield in 9mm is my current favorite gun to recommend for CCW purposes. Not to nitpick but if you are referring to the large Desert Eagle that is gas operated, they didn't make one in .45 ACP.

    Their product selector sucks. Tried to find 18650 versions and didn't have luck. Dug harder, these seem to be for the list as well. Streamlight ProTac HL $130 - USB charge http://www.amazon.com/Streamlight-88052-Tactical-Flashlight-Included/dp/B00T8J9FGO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1437142032&sr=8-2&keywords=streamlight+protac+HL&pebp=1437142036690&perid=12MRPYDN2EAD6MNG4TMP The rest of the Streamlights seem to use C4 bulbs which I am not sure are bright enough for my application. As an everyday sure....but I don't carry one every day. Nope, they won't be using 18650's for their rechargeable, but they come with a cradle that you can wall/vehicle mount that you just drop the entire light in. How many lumens do you want? I have doubts on any of the small size high output lights actually running continuously for their given battery life, them guys will get HOT.

    I have up on cheap lights for anything that I want to make sure I have light for. I've had wonderful luck with surefire too.

    I have a streamlight strion used as an edc light for 2 years now, not one problem. A friend of mine who who is an aircraft mechanic has commented all of the guys there have the stingers and no problems there either. Rechargeable with a charging cradle that works well.

    The food anywhere near bourbon street is all trash so at least it fits in! We had oysters and such at Felix's, seemed good to me. Bourbon street seemed rather trashy though, even more so than the rest of that area.
