Extension Cords
From cord length to amperage rating, here are a few factors to consider before purchasing an extension cord.
Number of Outlets
Most extension cords come with just one outlet that supports a single device. If you want to plug in more than one device, select an extension cord with multiple outlets
Amperage Rating
Every power cord should have an amperage rating that signals how much power it can handle, with a higher amperage rating denoting a more powerful cord. Most extension cords are rated to support around 13 amps, though some models like the Southwire Outdoor Extension Cord can handle up to 15 amps.
Cord Length
Power cords can be as short as six feet and as long as 100 feet. If you need an extension cord to power indoor electronics, a cord under 20 feet should suffice. If you need to power corded tools like electric chainsaws, a cord that’s 50 feet or longer may be a better choice.
Number of Prongs
The majority of extension cords are equipped with three-prong outlets, though some indoor models have two-prong outlets. If you need to power a few device chargers, a two-prong extension cord should work. If you need to power small appliances or tools like electric drills, use a three-prong model, as this type of cord tends to have an extra prong.
FAQ
What does the gauge of an extension cord refer to?
The gauge of an extension cord refers to the diameter of the metal conductors it holds. Smaller wire gauges denote thick extension cords that can carry large amounts of electricity. For example, 12-gauge cords can handle tool loads between 10 and 15 amps. Many outdoor extension cords have small gauge numbers to support heavy-duty machinery.

Sig Sauer P320 X Carry
We recently did a tabletop talk about the X Carry. Here are the deep dive specs...
Description
The Sig Sauer P320 X-Carry 9mm is the concealed carry variant in Sig’s brand new P320 X-Series. The P320 X-Carry has a modular X-series grip frame that features an extended beavertail and a high undercut trigger guard to promote a higher grip and improved recoil control. Like the other models in the X-Series, Sig has added a competition-grade flat trigger, along with improved competition grips.There’s an X-ray3 front sight and rear night sights that are attached to a removable plate for mounting an RMR optic like the Romeo1. Optimal weight & feel in the slide is achieved with the enhanced slide serrations and lightning cuts. The Sig Sauer P320 X-Carry also comes with three 17-round 9mm magazines.
