The Baers I have shot at competitions, (never owned) have been some of the smoothest precision guns I have ever shot. I do not own one as I have a custom built Bullseye gun from a small smith. If I were to ever need a replacement for that pistol, Baer would get my busuness without hesitation. Understand your not talking Bullseye shooting, but those are generally the thoughts of many masters/high masters that shoot in that realm. For what that is worth.
