        A Bear Permier II is the way to go. Proload has these in stock and has the best prices around. Getting mine for $1530.00. Call John and ask him about options. Make sure you have atleast 1/2 hour to spare. He will talk your ear off and is an excellent guy.

          All of the guns that you mentioned are great guns. Kind of tuff to help you decide. It seems like you are set with the Colt, go for the Colt.

              Yeah, I'w seen the Colt and like it and like the fact that its blued. My uncle has it. I wish the polish was as nice as the python though. The only thing about the Colt is that its hard to come about and I have to settle for used. I think I'm gonna check out the Les Baer before I purchase anything though.

                The Colt Gold Cup NM Series 70 will be going up in value for the rest of your life; whether the others will do the same is questionable.

                I'm not saying it will outshoot the others though.

                    Which makes you not want to shoot the gun. I want to use it though without worrying about the resale value

                      Sammy you have the Premier II Super Tac or the 5". Hows the polish and the bueing on that gun. If you have a close up pic of it I would be curious to see it. Les Baers web site is no help.

                          I don't have the Permier II yet. Should be here in another 4 months or so. To tide me over I have a TRS to keep me company. It is my USPSA gun for now. The sights are not great for action shooting. Much smaller than the adjustables that come with the PII. I made a last miniute change of a fiber optic front as well. I believe all California friendly Baers except for the Super Tac are blued. Not a bad thing. The blued finish is flawless when new. It is getting a bit worn but I think it just looks better with age.

                            If you want a start up go for a SA, Kimber or Colt...If you want a shooter/tool gun, go for the Baer or Brown (any would do the job), if you want a masterpeice work of Art, smooth from the get go out of the box without any break in period and reliable as hell; go for a Wilson Combat or Nighthawk... if you want perfection and have plus $5,000-$7000.. go for a Yost/Adams/Jimenia/O'Hare full custom builds. Me, i've owned at one time or another most of the above except for the "Perfection" (I've only had the Yost) Oh and BTW, I'm sure WC/NightHawk or any one of those guys can accommedate you no front serretions issue... you are only stuck with the front surretions if you buy used (which sometimes can save you up to $1,000), but if you have a custom one ordered, it can be done, you just have to call

                            What's left in my collection ... a WC and a couple of NightHawk.. nuff said

                              If you don't like front serrations check out the Springfield Custom Carry. Hopefully I'll have mine in hand within the month. Be prepared for a wait though.

                              Where in the Bay Area are you? I have a Concept II and you're free to try it out. If you can wait a month or so, I'll let you try out both my Concept II and Springfield Custom Carry.
