Lots of folks really seem to have an infatuation with Baers, but after owning and shooting a couple, I just don't get it...
Yup, I'm a bit infatuated at this point. Maybe something will disappoint me at some point, but I can say this: I've had various other reputable 1911's over the years and this Baer is the first one I've ever had that got to 250+ rounds without a hiccup. Of course that is not a real reliability test yet, but I'm just saying....... I've never had a Wilson, Brown, etc., so maybe I'm not comparing apples to apples yet. We'll see. To my embarrassment, I realize I started this thread talking Wilson. I had not realized there was as much $$ difference between Wilson and Baer. The Baer was worth the try and so far I've only experienced the good I had heard and none of the negative. Those that can pick apart the imperfections of a Baer, I can only say that they must be pretty danged picky. I don't see them. But again, maybe I'm not comparing apples to apples.
