Kimber v. Les Baer

[eclipse1]

if the price doesnt matter, ill go with the baer..

What you're paying for on the Baer is a hand fit slide, frame, barrel, bushing, trigger components and no MIM parts.

Spend the extra money and get the Baer.

I have a Kimber Gold Match (Stainless series one) and a Les Baer PII. I prefer the Baer, but my next gun will be a Nighthawk, Brown, or a Wilson.

For IDPA and IPSC, the firing pin safeties are not an issue.

I beg to differ. Shooting under speed, against the clock, with a high grip, makes the series II stuff on a Kimber (and grip safetys in general) a PITA for a lot of shooters.

Not approved in Calif. Nice guns....

Okay...get an Ed Brown then.

Look at the resale price of a Baer and of a Kimber. As a Baer owner (no Kimbers here) I am happy to say that the "hit" on the resale market is small for a Baer, yet the Kimber seems "significant" to me.

Get the Baer!

You usually get what you pay for. Baer better but is more money. Kimber is great as well just not as good. Persoally the Kimber would more than suit my needs...

a pre-firing pin safety Kimber would be a good choice too!
