Already got mine. This Baer Custom Carry from Severns Custom ran me about $2600. It has everything I want and nothing I don't. Be jelly.




 :shocked

That pic is seriously harshing my mellow - the gun appears to be levitating several inches above a reflective surface, and casting no shadows.

HSSSSSS. Vampire pistol, begone!  >:(  :panic

(...Okay, I figured it out. That's a metal range table, under an awning or some other covering, in bright sunlight. Also with a poor DOF on the camera. Still looks freaky.)

Looks like a glass dining table to me, next to a window with a nice view.

Yep, glass patio table on my deck. Nothin' fancy.

I'll add that if I had my druthers I'd skip the front cocking serrations, but when I ordered it Severns Custom had this one in stock as opposed to an indefinite wait for one without FCS. Not a deal breaker IMO but if two 1911's were otherwise identical I'd go with the clean slide.

I'm the same way. Less is more. Not a dealbreaker, but if I had the option I'd go without.

For $3-$5000, I would get a bare bones Remington in stainless, break it in, make sure it works. Then get a Slipstream permanent treatment and maybe some work to fix reliability issues if there are any, then use the rest to pay off my credit cards. :thumbup1

Have you ever shot a $3-5k 1911?

Mine is supposed to be somewhere in that range.



The hammer bites and it's not particularly tight, smooth, or accurate  :neener

A dream 1911?  Les Baer.  'nuff said.  The guy is a southpaw, and he knows how to make it entirely southpaw friendly... meaning all it really needs is a slender lever.  I'd also want a holster with a leather tab that covers the safety, even if he flattens the right-hander side switch.

But I thought this was just the 1911 that I want to get, not the best one around.

Ironically, the 1911 models I have shot the most was a Nighthawk model (and also a customized "special" Kimber), so I don't even know what the rest are like since I haven't had much trigger time with them.

I'd go for something like that.  Blued carbon over some rosewood/cocobolo.  I'd keep it simple actually. 

I like elegance through simplicity and to me, the 1911 is an elegant design.

Wow. All of the pistols on his site have a nice, traditional look and seem very functional, without any silliness.

Look at that Basic Fighting Pistol! Very, very nice. I like the MEUSOC rear sight/gold bead combo. Very slick, very functional, very robust.

There's only two reasons I wouldn't hit up the Berryhill, even though the AFP looks nice as heeeeell. One; he isn't accepting new orders, two; its only mods for existing pistols. I'd have to send em all the way from Alberta and back, buy a 1000 dollar pistol, and any warranty work would be a bear. Damn they look pretty though.

After reading this I snorted; I'm about 8 rumnogs in today. God Bless Captain Morgans private stock :panic
