Found this almost new and at a decent price recently, and couldn't pass it up.

Pistol by Baer.
Grips by Esmerelda.
3.75 lb. trigger by...well, you know.

Nice score Captain!

Great song... but where are the warm woolen mittens?

 

[SpecialEd]

Purty.

 

[Diamondback]

NICE! Not my personal bag for outfitting a 1911 (I like a heavier pull on a shorter, rounded, smooth-surface trigger so my short stubby finger just glides across it), but gotta admire Esmerelda and Baer's craftsmanship and a skilled trigger job.

 

[CaptainGyro]

Yeah, I would have done a few things differently if I was ordering new (I like stainless), but this was such a deal that I decided to jump on it. After a couple of hundred rounds (not even half broken-in), I'm pretty pleased.

At least I can rack it now without having to break the lockup against the edge of the bench. She's tighter than [insert homespun metaphor].

Nice Piece!

CaptainGyro,

We hillbillies from northeast TX say, "Tighter than Dick's hat-band.".
(I've never known who Dick was or why he insisted on wearing a hat that was way too small.)

Btw, that pistol's just: DOWNRIGHT UPRIGHT!!!

yours, sw

I knew that song... I'm not sure why that bothers me.

And I'm drinking that very same whiskey after a day of shooting Thompsons, grease guns, CETME's and Madsens.

Nice acquisition, Cap'n.

Isn't it about time to bring on Julie Andrews?

Thanks Dan'l hadn't seen that one...

But how does it shoot?

Who notes FL is so hot going to the range is a waste of time when the perspiration blinds him.

3.75 lb. trigger by...well, you know.

Charlie worked on it?

Nice piece. My first LB was a PII. I think the only thing I've changed on it was an extractor. That's what I shot when we had the 1911 dog shoot off after the gong match a while back.

I knew that song... I'm not sure why that bothers me.

Are the Nazis about to show up?

Did you make a trip through here without telling me?

She sure is pretty Cap'n! Congratulations! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cheers:

I'm just glad your imbibing after shooting Thompsons, grease guns, etc...

A few folks around my neck of the woods would have done it the other way around.

 

[Charlie Petty]

It shoots very nicely thank you.

Actually we had a shoot Friday with both our Baers...at the prairie dog. It is surely "dog qualified".

 

[CaptainGyro]

Charlie's Baer hit the prairie dog more than mine did, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't my gun's fault.

 

[WaltGraham]

Did you make a trip through here without telling me?

Of course not; a mutual friend has a brother in Alta Vista who has a pretty impressive sub gun collection of his own. We met up there.
