I'm familiar with the Gunblast article (it in part influenced me to buy the pistol), but HPs definitely do not run in mine. The feed ramp would need some pretty extensive work to pull that off. It's a very traditional 1911...the originals wouldn't run HPs either...so just be advised you're far more likely to get one out of the box that will not feed HPs with any measure of reliability. All that aside, I really like mine. It's been 100% reliable with FMJs (except one obviously factory defective round that was visibly out of spec). So just go into it knowing that you're getting a plain-jane, traditional 1911...which is exactly why I bought mine and love it.
Just to make it clear, even with the minor bluing blemish (which I think is my fault) it's still my favorite pistol, my EDC (it's 100% reliable with FMJs and feels great in the hand), and I'd highly recommend it (don't pay the $800 Cabelas is asking for though....you can find them cheaper elsewhere...I bought from Philip J. Rezac LLC).
