Steve1968LS2 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) I had been wanting a high end .45 for some time now and when this came up for sale used it was perfect. Has about 1,000 rnds though her which is just enough to break it in. New she cost $2500ish and this one had the LB magwell added for another $250. So with tax it would have cost me near three grand new (and a wait). Picked it up for $1800 and it has the presentation case, all the paperwork, signed papers and and extra set of 10-8 micarta black grips -- Nice knowing it's a hand build all USA weapon. The pistol racks like it's riding on butter and just feels "right" in the hand. I've been out of town a lot and plan on shooting it this weekend. When my rail gets here from Kip I'm ordering up my T1 for my M1014 Edited December 23, 2010 by Steve1968LS2 Quote
Matt D Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Nice for sure, those folks in LaClaire Iowa make fine guns. Quote
Rezarf Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Enjoy! My dad has a Baer and it is the nicest shooting pistol I have yet to handle. The fit and finish are perhaps the best I have ever seen up close. Quote
TacticalKoala Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Great looking gun and Baer is one of the best. Just needs carbon fiber grips now. Quote
Steve1968LS2 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 Great looking gun and Baer is one of the best. Just needs carbon fiber grips now. I have some VZ Operator II gips (hyiena brown) with the fancy screws on the way.. Quote
tactical1 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Merry Christmas to you! - And a very good price. Truly one of the great .45's out there - one to hang on to and pass down in the family. Enjoy! Quote

I took it to the range yesterday for the first time.. holy crap, I've never shot so well! lol This LB makes me look good.. the trigger is sweet. Quote
hattles Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 A real beauty! Can I be just a little jealous? Quote
BigHat Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) When my rail gets here from Kip I'm ordering up my T1 for my M1014 [/img] Congrats on the pistol. As far as the M4 optic, tried the T-1 and well as nearly everything else. Suggest you look at a 4 MOA RMR (battery model), or better yet, the 7 MOA dual illum. version. Even less obstruction than the slight T-1. I actually prefer the Burris FFII over the AP T-1 for those on a budget. Edited December 26, 2010 by BigHat Quote

I got my carbon fiber grips, will post a pic as soon as I get off my lazy duff and put them on. They would look great on your Black Baer too. Quote
TacticalKoala Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 The grips look much better in person, pics can't show the depth of the pattern. Quote
outlawprostreet Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Thats a beautiful LB. I've been wanting a high end 1911 too. This was my Xmas present to myself this year. not high end.. but a pre-series II kimber Pro SLE. Quote
