My Baer 1911...
My oldest son went to boot camp a while back, he graduates Sept. 9...before he left I told him if he qualified expert on the range I'd give him my Baer. I never doubted he could qualify expert because the young man can shoot. I had him busting clay pigeons at 600 yards by the time he was 10, he shot a nice buck last year at 300 yards...offhand...with the deer running full tilt at a 90 degree angle...one shot, bang flop!
It was at that point I realized he just might be a better shot than me
....I was a very proud papa, and still am!
He hasn't said yet how he qualified...they just did the Table 2 qualifying this past Friday and it takes a few days to get the letters, sometimes it takes him a few days to find time to write the letters...but he did mention in his last letter that the first 3 rounds he fired during grass week made a nice small cloverleaf...and at 200 yards 10 rounds made 1 ragged hole...that was just practice though.
Table 1 qualifications were done a week or so ago, Table 1 is the easy stuff...Table 2 is harder.

I'm gonna give him the Baer no matter how he qualifies...he has wanted if for a long time. I just had to pout about it a little bit, LOL.
