Got a 1911 Les Baer back in 2000. After shipping, taxes, duties, and the dreaded brokerage fees coming cross border, the pistol cost more than a good used econo car at the time!

Anyhow, 5000 round thru it and it is as tight as it was the day it was bought. Extremely accurate and as reliable as a quality swiss watch, it keeps running perfectly!!! Not a single FTF or a jam of any kind!!!! I’m still waiting for the day I can call it “broken in”

I use the old standby of 4.8 grains of bullseye under a 200 grain hard cast SWC lead bullet. The powder is a bit dirty, but it doesn’t bother the pistol at all.

Great gun and after going on 20 years, it is a pistol I will NEVER part with!!!!!!
