Where to buy Hi-Standard 1911s?

[arizonaicedtea]

I was looking at the Hi-Standard 1926 military styled M1911 in .38 Super on the website and was wondering if anyone knew where I could buy one? In the US they retail for around $700 and thats a sight cheaper than the Colt M1911 .38s, and from what I've read the quality and function is decent.
Any thoughts or advice?

Epps has Rock Island Armory 1911's in .38 Super for $550.

Can't say I have seen any Hi-Standards around at all.

Ok, thanks. Pretty sure both Hi-Standard and RIA pistols are made by Armscor anyways so they're probably not all that different.
Thanks for the help

Yep, double checked on both the Hi-Standard website and wikipedia. Armscor makes one of the STI 1911s, the RIA 1911s, some Charles Daly stuff, and the Auto Ordnance 1911s in the Philippines.
Been making 1911s for a while, though from what I gather not everything they make is exactly top notch.
