Les Baer FTW!!!!!!

 

Love them. What are the details on the black one?

 

The LB black one with the CF grips is beautiful!

 

Buy them all, you can never have too many 1911s. (I want that Wilson now, damnit.)

 

I have the Wilson CQB, and love it. Frankly, it is really the only "botique" 1911 I'd ever consider buying again. I've had Baer's, other Wilson's, and a couple other lesser knowns; and you get nothing extra with the extra price. Yea, you'll get some stuff that might matter to a match competitor, but not the practical shooter. And sadly, match grade does not often equal reliable. Which is exactly why I'm so jazzed with my PT1911. I've paid three times more for some of my others, and they don't have the "bang" for the buck, or the performance.

Hell, one of my best friends is stationed with 5th SFG, and he borrowed the Taurus to put it through its paces. Now he's asked to borrow it for another month because its been such a good piece. He gets his choice of what he wants to use, and he's totally loving the PT1911. That's real world, that should tell ya something.

As for the pieces you showed, Wilson CQB without question.

 

Wilson definitely make a fantastic gun. I've shot a Kimber Team Match II at length, and it is also a great shooter.

I have a Springfield Trophy Match that I like a lot. Just got back from shooting it, actually. Try to make some friends at the range so you might be able to shoot a few of these before you buy!

Back one is Les Baer Premier II with 1.5" guarantee at 50 yards. Other one is Concept VII comanche. Great guns with great story behind them.
