Ronvandyn:
First post!  YEAH!

Now for the meat of the post.  I am considering purchasing a High Point .45ACP pistol, but have no experience with the brand at all.  I have several hand guns and have been active in shooting sports since childhood, but this is a new one on me.  

Anyone care to opine on their opinion of this brand of firearm?

Thanks in advance.

Ron

edit:  Come on guys, its not a joke, I have been reading here for some time and am impressed by the knowledge some of the other users have shown.

There is a thread where the High Points have been discussed: http://www.nebraskafirepower.com/forum/index.php?topic=262.0  It was atarted about the 9MM but includes a lot of general High Point info.  Personally I would not trust one as my carry gun, but did have a lot of fun with the one I had, just was not comftorble enough with it to depend on it in a life or death situation.

Chris Z:
Having seen how well they do not always work in concealed carry classes I teach, I would not trust one for carry either.

Ronvandyn:
Well darn.  They have great prices, but if they are not going to go bang when I need it to then I think I'll move on to something a bit better. 

I have an XD-40 I was planning on bringing to the CCW class on the 14th of next month, and it has never mis-fed/fired with any ammo I have tried.  I might start looking for an XD-45 then. 

Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it.

Like the oft repeated saying goes...."You get what you pay for".  You could pay with your life with one of these. 
Problem with your XD-40?  I don't have one, but my thought if it ain't broke don't try and fix it.  My opinion is one should be as familiar with their carry gun as every square inch of their "glorious naked body" (Rush Limbaugh).
