Older, used Les Baer guns are decent. They used to occupy the value spot Dan Wesson occupies now.
Unfortunately, their prices went up and their quality went down to the point where I would no longer recommend buying a new LB.
A used Hillsdale gun for $2k or less ? Yes a new one for $3k(or close to it) -no.
I bought a new RRA basic carry or whatever it’s called in 2017 or 18. LGS had one, and I’d been wanting one for a few years since they announced/advertised they were back to building 1911’s.
Gun was parkerized, had 25 lpi checkering, ledge,all black, rear sight and serrated tritium front sight.
Overall, it was a very good gun. Well fit, beavertail blend nicely done, trigger was pretty ok as well. Certain parts like the slide stop and bushing were numbered to the gun. I can only remember a few FTF with my 200 gr LSWC loads in the first couple of hundred rounds. Overall I had about 1500-2000 rounds through it. Was $1750 retail back then. I certainly wouldn’t mind getting another if the price was right. Got rid of it when the precision rifle big bit me.
