    So, time for some updates.

    I found another alloy-framed HP Mark III on Gunbroker and won the bidding on it. It's supposed to come with five 13 round mags and Hogue grips. Yes I paid more than what Ohio Ordnance had them for back when I bought two but it's still less than what they'll be going for all-too-soon!

    I just now bought a 15 round Mec Gar mag and (drum roll) a Crimson Trace laser grip for the HP.

    So, what is left?

    1). To carry one of my all-steel HP's: just getting a holster that will work with the laser grip. Mitch Rosen makes an open top version but I don't want an open top, I want something with a slide guard (against the body). I may have to get a custom holster made.

    2). I could carry a steel framed HP without the laser grip in the Mitch Rosen thumb break made for the Kahr 45 (it works perfectly in that holster).

    3). Send the worst-looking of the three HP's off to C&S or Novak for some custom work.

    4). Buy a double stack single mag carrier from someone, I am leaning towards High Noon Holsters but may go with Andrews Leather.

    I will give you guys an update as soon as I have more info.

    HOLD THE PHONE!

    I just realized something. The Mitch Rosen holster for my Kahr....I think it will fit a HP with Crimson Trace laser grips installed! There seems to be enough space inside the thumb break for it. I will certainly give it a try.

    If so, I will be carrying a Hi Power this winter after all! :cool:

    And later, once I have more funds, I can check and see if Mr. Andrews can custom make a holster for the HP intended for it as I don't like the front 1 & 1/2 inches of the muzzle sticking out of the Mitch Rosen. I think I'll go for an exotic skin so the man has more "skin in the game."

    :p

    Believe me, I don't want to have to be up all night every night but my options are limited. On the plus side, I do my best thinking late at night.

    CRAP! OOW got in more alloy-framed Hi Powers (emailed me 3 hours ago) but those are already sold out. "We might have more coming in but we don't know when."

    Lacking a smartphone, I can't read these emails very quickly. 3 hours ago (noon) I was sleeping very soundly......
