If your asking about value personally LB TRS hands down. Your inital investment might be a bit more but the residual value is a lot more than all the model LB has, for an all around carry or target pistol my vote is not LB but Wilson CQB. I say this because I owned both for at least about 10 yrs now. My gripe with LB although good quality is the frame and slide fitting is a bit too tight so its not too forgiving in a very harsh condition. CQB on the other hand is about as perfect slide frame fit not loose but also not very tight. That said if I will just go to target practice in a well controlled environment I always shoot my LB TRS, but if I take a pistol class where heat, cold, dirt and will shoot about 700 rds or so without time cleaning my gun I use my CQB. Done these a few times and never had a problem. Again this is just my personal experience and opinion that I like to share to everyone.

How many rounds have you put thru your LB out of curiousity? I ask this because the supposed "Overly Tight" slide to frame fit goes away after 1,000 rounds and just gets smooth from there. I never took a class with mine but I did shoot 880 rounds the first week w/o any cleaning outside of a boresnake w/o any malfunctions with various cheap ammo.

A former USMC armorer I met at the PD where I was assigned told me the Sig Sauer P220 in 45acp is the ideal handgun accurate to 50 meters and will fire over 50,000 rounds w/o any problems so I bought one.It's accurate.

So will Glock 21, but 1911s are different kind of fun...

For harsh conditions, I'd use my Glocks without even thinking twice. But 1911 I want for pure shooting pleasure with maybe some use in SD/HD.

So how in your opinion LB fairs against Wilson?

[wildhawker]

The dollars associated with spending the money on Wilson's higher-end pistols would not work out for me. At those price points I'd start looking at true custom work.

They don't measure up to Nighthawk Custom.

Do you even have a NHC?

Do you even have a NHC?

No, I was smarter with my $$$$

[Rob Roy]

So, many brand names thrown in here, is LB the best value for money?

[Buddhabelly]

No, I was smarter with my $$$$

Ignorance is so pityful.
