Beautiful 1911.... I just ordered this exact model and can't wait to put some rounds down range! My first Les Baer, excited to compare it to my Nighthawks & Wilsons.
I think Baers are a value proposition in the semi custom space. You’ll find the small details will really set your Wilsons & NH apart. Glad you like the video. Regards, Marky John1911.com
No. Volkman came along some time later and I didn’t really see his work. My understanding is he started with Ed Brown Products, and as such, his guns seem very similar. I would even venture to guess his frames and slides are OEM’ed by EB because of the prior relationship. I’m been in a stage of shooting my 1911’s not really buying anymore. If that makes sense. Regards, Marky
Hey Cman, just in case you were wondering, YT deleted your comment because you linked directly to a website that sells guns. One, YT is creepy out out bound links in comments. And two, they specifically don’t allow links to firearm retailers. Regards, Marky
Can you chime in on reliability? I want one too! I owned a Les baer custom carry 5” in stainless and it just wasn’t my cup of tea, slightly too big for carry, and I just didn’t “LOVE IT”. But this black baer keeps catching my eye. I’m like in actually in love with it lol 😂. I want it!!!!! How’s reliability? I like the commander size for carry, and 9MM for funner shooting of course. That all black is just ridiculous looking!!!
I have zero experience with the KC-9. I “think” that’s not 100% traditional design. 🤷🏼♂️ This gun is. And is VERY tight. So much so, it might turn off some buyers. But I’m not a gear reviewer. Hope I helped. Marky
My love affair with 9mm 1911 is blossoming.

Nighthawk is certainly my favorite over Wilson… which is why I also have 5 in the collection! Have you had any experience with Volkmann Precision?

I love the all black 1911.
It is a look. I like an all black 1911 with white or ivory grips.
That was always kinda my thing.

How does it compare to the Ed Brown KC-9?

Gorgeous.
A new in the box 1911 has a certain aesthetic doesn’t it.
Marky
I think they also use a full size frame w the Commache?
Possibly. Probably. I am not intimately familiar with Baer’s product line.

I like that pistol.
Glad you like it!
Marky

I was in that shop this week and it was still in their case. I think anyway.
-Marky

Marky

It was in the shop last week when I stopped by. 😎
But a HEMI is nice. I’m in the market for a fun car again.
Marky
