I have 2 Austrian High Points. A 3 Gen and 4 Gen. One a 9" 45 super and one 5" 50 GI. A 5" Springfield, 4" Kimber carry gun, and S&W Performance Center 3" carry gun. The 5" Springfield Armory gun was carried for years and wore out a barrel and trigger group on IDPA practice and two years of competing. No, I'm not a match winner. But I hope to hold my own if confronted with a deadly force need. I like 45's and am looking to make a PDW in an AR and perhaps a bolt gun for suppressed fun. We used the Block in 40 for the last ten years or so on transportation at my corrections job. I guess it is too much to expect to get affordable training in the 1911 45 ACP for duty. So much for the state of Misery. The 1911 lives on for lots of us. It is as relative today as it was in 1911. God Bless John Browning. Please forgive me for owning two Austrian High Points. I forgot the SIG P-220-1 in my right pocket now. Thanks to the Duluth Trading Co firehose pants I can carry the Canon as the wife calls it in my pocket. Be Well, Rustyzipper.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill.
