Thanks Guys! I LOVE the Blueing job Les Baer did on it. It's VERY DEEP Blue! And flawless. It's like Colt's Royal Blue, only deeper blue. Taking her to the range this Sunday, we'll see how it performs. It was only $1899.99.
Came with 3 Baer Premium magazines. My only complaint is my checkmate mags that fit Every other 1911 I own won't lock in because of the bases. These magazines: http://www.topgunsupply.com/check-ma...-magazine.html I guess I "could " file off a little of the base fronts, but I have plenty of other mags that fit the Baer.

Range Report
Well, the Baer did well, but some issues. I had several "double feeds" with The Les Baer " Premium " Magazines. Shot 300 rounds of Federal & Remington ball ammo.
The POI was consistent, but was approx 2" high and approx 2" left. At 50 feet. Called Les Baer today, a female said Les Baer himself would call me. He did not. It WAS Monday. I understand. The other issue I noticed when I cleaned it, the barrel throat face has a "nick' in it at about 4 o'clock. I don't think it affects anything, but on a Custom $2000.00 ,1911, it should not be there. I'll wait & see if Les calls me tomorrow. I think He will. The fit and finish is superb, but the flaw in the barrel throat should be fixed, and the POI needs correcting. At the Range a had my New Wilson CQB with me, it shot PERFECT. No FTF, no FTE, all shots POI dead center. I made NO Change to the sights on either gun. I was told by the female that they sight the Baer in @ 20 yards. If so, why the high & left? Go figure.

I've heard nothing but positive feedback about their CS. I agree it should be double checked before it leaves the factory. Let us know what Les says.

Nice guy! He said as far as accuracy, asked me to do a standing shoot test at a 1 inch black dot at 50 feet. Said He'll move the sight if needed. I did speak to Les personally, thought that was nice, I have never spoke to Bill Wilson. That said, I really have not had these issues with Wilsons either. Stange: He said that it's "Normal" for a Les Baer 1911 to shoot high & left when shooting from a rest! I'll try what He said, go from there!

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!
