Unhappy Not so good

Well, my 1st Les Baer will likely be my last. Well made 1911 for sure, but the Customer Service is not so good!
When you buy a "Custom" 1911 as Les Baer's are, you expect it to be right, out of the box.
For Les to tell Me that when shooting off a rest on sanbags, the gun WILL shoot POI 1 1/2 inches high, and 1 1/2 inches left, is really out there!
I DID try offhand standing shooting with it, still high & left.
Was told He would move the sight free, said He will move it .010 to the right IF I send it to Him on MY Dime, Well, 1st off all, @ 50 feet = 600 inches, the correction is .015. NOT .010. Secondly, why should I have to PAY to get it to Him? It shot like this with 4 different types ammo. Nice tight groups, buy high and left. Big time @ 50 feet. Furthermore, is stovepipes an 2nd to last round with Les Baer mags that came with it, it also does it with Wilson Mags, and CMC Power Mags. Selling it, ordered a Dan Weson 2013 Valor. I have not had any issues like this out of the box with Dan Wesson 1911's, and if I did, Keith would take real good care of Me.
I seriously doubt I ever buy another Les Baer. Sorry guys, this one was Great Looking! Beautiful! But not a great shooter, and VERY Poor Quality Customer Service.
P.S. As you all know, Dan Wesson is not even a Full Custom 1911 like a Baer!
And ALL My Dan Wesson's have been right on, out of the box!

Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” Thomas Jefferson
