    My final pistol...

    I wanted my final pistol to be a nice 1911. I have a Sig Railed 1911 in stainless, which I enjoy shooting, but I wanted a something a bit nicer. With the wifey's ok, I got a Les Baer Premier II (non 1.5") today.

    I didn't think that it would be that much better than my Sig, but wow, it is It's tight as expected and I had a few failures in the first 200 rounds I put through today, but that didn't seem out of the ordinary for a Baer.

    This thing locks up real tight. My Sig is a rattlematic in battery, but the Baer doesn't rattle at all. I only shot it at 10 yards, but I did way better with it than I ever did with my Sig.

    The only things I don't care for are the sights. I'll eventually switch them out to a fiber front. The adjustable rear is actually pretty good, hopefully it doesn't start moving around. I didn't have to do any adjustments to it. The grips are REALLY grippy, but I'll be switching those out to a G10 set to go all black.

    My modified CZ 97 was my favorite shooter in my stable, but now, the Baer just might take that title

        "final pistol" sounds like a sales pitch to the wife, ask me how I know 😊

          I say final because I'm very happy with my small collection. The Baer completed what I wanted my pistol collection to be.

            LOL I pulled that when I got my CZ 97, but this time I'm serious about it. I'm very happy with what I have.

              I have a 10mm pistol and a revolver on my short list, and then I am done.

              Till I decide I want a polymer .45, 9mm. Or Santa Clara becomes shall issue and I want a sub-compact or similar carry piece.

                That's a handsome looking gun dude, congrats. Les Baer's are some of the best.

                      Nice. I just got a Pii with 1.5" guarantee and told my wife its the last gun for awhile. $2,400 bucks was alot of convincing to do.

                        I picked up a Les Baer SRP and thought I was complete but then I wanted a SAO in 9mm. So, I got a Sig P226 Elite SAO.

                          I tried that back in the day.

                          I felt much better when I switched wives. It's never 'my final wife'. Haha....

                          Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).
