sorry to hear about the 'puter........

I bought one of these a while back because I always wanted an 1911. I looked at several. EEA had a couple interesting guns but they were just too big for me. I knew very little about High Standard but it sure comes across as a tight, well finished arm. It fit my smallish hand perfectly and is a natural aimer. I took it out with my Glock 19 for comparison. I thought the Glock had more recoil than the High Standard. Both guns were real nice. They functioned perfectly through 100 rounds apiece. I love the 1911 but I sure wish someome would build an extended mag for the 1911s.

Hey Tomasco, I don't know how many rounds you mean when you say extended, but they do make some slightly extended mags. Here is a link to Wilsons, near the bottom of the page are some extended 10 round mags. And also a link to midway with a page of mags, there's a chip mccormick mag 10 rounder. Hope that helps.

Hey, thanks much for the links. I like the looks of the ChipMacs 10 rounder. Think I'll get a couple. Glocks spoiled me.... I grabbed a couple of those 33 round mags and I sure like them! They look a bit strange sticking out of a Glock 19 but, what the heck.

Welcome to the "neighborhood".
I'll have to look up Radium Springs. Sounds toxic! LOL

RS is about 20 miles north of Las Cruces just off I-25. Real small, no stores. More horses than people. I haven't locked my front door for 20 years out here. Just started to tho.... There's been a rash of home invasions around here. It's called 'Radium Springs' because there's an underground river that's around 180F. I spent my early years on a ranch around Dell City. That was a long time ago.
