    My first Les Baer!

    Just plunked down my deposit for a new Les Baer Custom Carry 1911 in Blue.

    10 day wait...try 16 weeks.

    But it'll be worth it!

    I tried the demo model and damn those things are tight!

      Thanks!

      Actually, I also emember a documentary on the Outdoor channel where they toured his facility and showed them being made. The craftsmanship was impressive.

      I will be beside myself with anticipation in about a couple of weeks.

            Were you able to haggle from MSRP?

              I own a Thunder Ranch and a Custom Carry. I have shot the Thunder Ranch. It is tight, accurate, and very sweet. I am holding the Custom Carry to sell as new next year. These 1911's are definitely top shelf and capable of very small groups. Better than I can shoot on a normal day. Grats on your purchase and shoot the hell out of it when it is finally home.

                The CC's are great pistols:


                The TRS ain't bad either:

                        Yup.

                        I wanted buy from them since they went through so much crap with that Planning Meeting stuff.

                          I do not haggle when I'm in love.

                            Congrats.

                            Anyone local to the SFV, there was a TR at Turners in Reseda for $1,999.

                              Congrats! Baers are great guns. Distinct in their no-BS, built-to-run philosophy.

                              They only look better as they wear in...
