Today...
50 more flawless rounds from 7 yards the Baer, but my accuracy was lacking. I've seen people
say to expect lots of malfunctions with a new Baer because they are so tight, but the first 100
rounds with mine have been perfect. Baer recommends a 500 round break in before contacting
them about failure to feeds or other such issues, but I'm really not anticipating any problems now.
This pistol is a real joy to shoot and is definitely a step up from my Dan Wessons.

Very nice gun.. I have looked at their guns many times over the years - came close to getting one a few times.

Congrats!

Mine took no “break-in” at all to function properly; and still has been flawless, from day one.

Now; it did take 5-6 years until it started to slingshot (it’s a Custom Carry Comanche; and I knew about that going in), and it’s still tighter’n hell.

I‘ve had her for over 12 years now, and wouldn’t take anything for her…

Stealth, I'm not surprised your new Baer functions reliably, even if it is Baer tight. I've had 4 Baers over the last 20 years or so; all but the first pretty tight. I still have my favorite, the second I bought 20+ years ago, a HBNM. Still seems as tight as ever, and still functions 100% with any ball or JHP ammo I've used in it. It's a regular 3" gun, but the 50 yard test target shows 10 shots in just under 2".

I own, or have owned, 1911’s from Colt, Kimber, Springfield Armory, Wilson, Ed Brown, Nighthawk, Para Ordnance, and a couple of more.

My Les Baer has the tightest lock-up of any I’ve owned. I love the look the first time someone goes to rack the slide.

Tight is an understatement! I let my Sons check out the Baer today and I videotaped it so I can replay it
and get some good laughs. They both had some great reactions, like "Is this really necessary?" and
"Is it broken?" and "are they known for being this ridiculous?" and "wow, definitely tight" 😂 🤣

Sheesh, even at 15 yards I’d think you’d hate that paper bad guy with the same disdain as 7 yards!
Dern fine looking handgun for sure. I’m impressed.
Thanks for the show’n tell. 👍

50 more rounds freestanding from 8 yards today for 200 flawless total rounds fired.
She's still tighter than a bank vault, but she just keeps getting better and smoother.
This Premier II with 1.5" Guarantee was $2,466 (Brand New) and I think she's worth every penny.

Hello Stealth .45, congrats on your new Baer.

Here's my Paer of Baers. I rarely buy two of the same firearms but the left one was price so low I couldn't pass it up..
