Yup, was there and remember the TRS HD I mentioned. That pistol came with a full-length dust cover and a piece of rail that allowed an included Streamlight (IIRC) "Tac-Lite" light to be attached. It was purchased as a nightstand pistol. The Baar rail was not nearly as finished an idea as the Dawson rail, but it was good enough for the times. Today I use a SACS Colt Rail Gun with a Surefire X300 for the same role.
So looks like I’m a dumbass. I never owned a Baer, it was a Brown! I guess CRS (can’t remember shit) starts at 46.

Funnily enough, despite “losing”, the YB1* is probably the only gun I ever regret having sold.

Not necessarily -- depends on your intended use. Nighthawk does their work well, and for what you're getting in that package -- to include the cost of the base Colt -- it's about what you'd pay any quality shop or gunsmith, and most of the upgrades are typical for what you do to tune a Colt.
Only thing missing is: 1) tightening slide-to-frame fit, which generally speaking has more to do with pleasing customer aesthetics than anything truly practical in function, and 2) a true gunsmith fit barrel.
Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain’t that a big enough majority in any town?
I’d be more concerned about Nighthawk being able to source series 70 colts for their deal. They have “call for more info” for availability for s70’s. *edit- was thinking of Novak’s colt gun package *
No disrespect, but I wouldn’t want that package on competition marked gun. *
Plus there’s no checkering, only serrations.

I’ve spoken to them about that model a month or two ago- they said they were having a hard time sourcing the colts and to call back in a month or so.
