Wilson, Les Baer, or Ed Brown?

[D. Hargrove]

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.

Brown also has a higher grip position due to their high grip safety. And a smaller grip circumference which is great if you have smaller hands.

That is a consideration. Thanks for reminding me of that.

That is very interesting. Has anyone measured the actual differences?...I'd be really interested to know what these are!

The rear of the Brown frame is beveled more, removing more material, iirc. I measured both circumferences with my hand, and it was a very noticeable difference.

Do Weber and Fechner agree?

Joel, I might be talked into letting go of one of my Yost's. If your real nice.

I ended up having a grip reduction done on the Baer so it would fit my hand as well as the Brown.
