Hi everyone,
This is my first high-end 1911. I love it! Besides shooting the crap out of it, I plan on having a strong-side only safety fitted, along with a checkered MSH (possibly with a magwell). Once I wear down the blue finish, it will be refinished in Black T, Roguard, or IonBond DLC. But for now I plan on using it just the way it is.
I bought it from Proload Distributors. John was great to deal with and I couldn't be any happier with the transaction. If you're looking for a new Les Baer, he's your go-to guy!
This thing is tight just like everyone said it would be. I had to give the front of the gun a smack with my palm for it to break loose. Also, while inspecting it I noticed the rear of the slide didn't line up with the frame. Before freaking out, I gave the slide a forward push and sure enough it budged forward enough for the rear of the slide and the frame to line up perfectly. The fit and finish on this gun is amazing.. I can't wait to break this thing in!
Just a quick question for you Baer guys..is it normal for the grip safety to wiggle quite a bit? Mine has a significant amount of side-to-side play to it. Also, the trigger has a little play (not much though) from side-to-side and from top-to-bottom...not enough to notice it unless I take my other hand, pinch the trigger with my fingers, and wiggle it. Finally, the thumb safety is hard to engage. It's not nearly as smooth and swift as the safety on a Kimber Ultra Carry II I used to have. Just wondering if all these things are normal for a Baer.
Thanks!
