High Standard 1911's

[Special_K]

Went into Scheels a few days ago and examined a High Standard 1911. It looked pretty good and felt really nice in the hand too. (I have short thick(fat!) fingers.)

What do you guys know about them?

The current High Standard mil-spec pistols are made in the Philippines by Armscor --same as the RIA 1911 clones. Plenty of folks have good things to say about those. Based on observed prices, the price should be south of $400.

I have one. Bone stock,exept for the Houge grips. Shoots well & is reliable. I don't really use it too much. I keep it as one of my "GoTo" guns in the house. I have about 800 to 1000 or so rounds through it. It would be a good base gun for a DIY project. So far I have resisted the urge to modify my High Standard 1911................................That's a hard thing for me to do! :banghead::banghead::banghead:

I have one. About 5 to 700 rounds through it so far. I'm not saying that all HS 1911's will do this, but, mine will shoot ANYTHING I feed it as long as I use Wilson 47 mags. I've never had a problem with at all (knock on wood). Mine is bone stock, minus a different set of grips and the Wilson mags. I love this pistol!
