Les baer seems absent

[TehLlama]

At this point I find my self running one of the following when I shoot 1911's. Either of my Nighthawk Vickers, the Super Tac or my Harrison. When my second Harrison is finished along with another 1911 project thats in the works (that I will unveil when its finished) they will start to get the bulk of my time. I went to Glocks a while ago but still shoot a good amount of 1911.s

I wake up most days envious of your problems when at the range. I really do.

I concur with the assessment that it takes a case of ammunition before they're really smooth enough to run perfectly - but if you lack the budget and patience to get a functional piece of art like a Harrison or Heirloom custom, I do think the Baers are the nicest looking semi-customs out there.

Kokopelli - I'm assuming those are Esmeralda grips -- shouldn't have had the wife around when I saw those.

Wait until you see the final two projects. I will simply say that they will be outstanding examples of a Full House custom. The one will be a surprise because he hasn't done builds for people for a number of years.

Indeed.. Both are Esmeralda "one-offs".. Beautiful.. and her grips ain't bad either.. LOL.. Cheers.. Ron

I'd rather have a production level Colt with GI spec slop in the frame and slide.

Why??

Have I mentioned my insane jealousy of your projects lately?

[DeltaKilo]

Why??

in theory, less chance of binding because of fouling or crap?

I've got a Concept IV and it is my favorite 1911 probably. I also have some nice examples to compare it to.

I've found my Baers (3 in all) horribly reliable...
(and I think they're a good value as well.)

My brother and I bought a matched set of commander sized LB's (consecutive serial numbers too). We both have user-grade 1911's, so the purchase was to have a special set between brothers, and not really meant to be used.

His ran, mine didn't. Even after 1.5k rounds, mine just didn't run right. I've just left it in the safe, as I don't really need to use it. Then an interesting bit of info came along. Someone told me that our set was rather unusual, because most consecutive serial number sets from LB were Gov't/Commander, not Commander/Commander. Comparing our two guns, looks like mine was a chopped Gov't, while my brother's was a properly made commander.
