^ Yes sir. That looks awesome!

When it's too cold in the work trailer... Go outside where it's colder and shoot!

That one is just as good now as anything out there.

Heinie, Wilson, Brown... Super nice.

A Baer is $2K and is a POS compared to a Pro. I think they're overpriced at $3200 too, they're comparable to a CQB and would be better at $25-2800.

I thought you were talking about the toe of the plate bent down and the welds about to break.

Yep. Welded base mags are not very durable when it comes to slide lock reloads. I carry with a welded base mag in the gun, ETMs with the wide base plate on the belt.

Check the toe of the floorplate on that mag. It might have a letter that will indicate the manufacturer.

I'm betting on a B.

Gonna try to find a good 70 Series 5".

I guess I'm gonna have to see if Garthwaite wants to build a 9mm...

I walked through the office without a cover shirt on this morning and my boss (75 years old) noticed my Wilson.

His eyes lit up and he said 'Hey you went back to a 45!' Me, proudly: 'Nope. It's...

Is that a 45 or a 9?

I played with mine with the mag that gave me the bolt over base and I couldn't get it to do it again unless I didn't have it seated all the way. Which is totally possible...

I've had this pistol around about 6 months now. I've carried it quite a bit, shot it a fair amount.

As of today it's at 6,327 rounds. 1581.75 average between stoppages. Take away crap ammo and...

I like wood on an aluminum frame because it takes a lot less torque to hold them on and they don’t scratch the frame like G10 will. I have G10 on a couple of steel frames with Challis bushings and O...

Yep CQB LW spec’d with nekkid slide, medium trigger, 25LPI checkering, Cocobolo grips, and Armor Tuff everything everything black.

Aluminum framed 9mm. Runs like a sewing machine on 147 HST.

Sweat...

I sweat all over my Armor-Tuff Wilson and it doesn’t rust. I think people aren’t lubing enough. A 1911 needs to wet like an AR.

I don’t get the affection for the 1911. It’s a tool, use it when it’s the right tool for the job. Just because it’s more expensive than a basic plastic gun doesn’t make it too good to be used. A...

Gracias. VZ makes 'em for BCM. I had VZ bevel the bottom.

5,195 rounds.

Everything on a Baer is fit with the same quality and attention to detail as their barrels. They use semi drop in Karts and they file the lower lugs with a flat file, get the hood close, and whack it...
