I am a friend of oldredleg and brought this gun to his attention. I was with him when the deal was consummated and when he took the gun to my range to test fire it immediately after the deal.
First, baer383 is a top drawer 1911 pistolsmith. All his work on this gun was perfect and beautifully executed. He is also exceptionally conscientious and professional in his dealings with others.
Second, I provided an assortment of ammo for the after deal testing that included: light, medium, and heavy bullets; flat tip, truncated cone, hollow point, and round nose; jacketed, plated, and powder coated; medium, heavy, +P, and +P+ loads. The gun functioned flawlessly with everything we tried!
We fired on steel targets from 10 to 100 yards and this combat carry weapon performed very close to target pistol performance.
If you get a chance to buy one of baer383's masterpieces, do it!
