I know many of you think Les Baer 1911s are semi-custom, but this one was built exactly the way I wanted, so it's a custom to me :)

Premier II
1.5" Option
No Slide Markings
No Front Cocking Serrations
Fixed Sights
Removable Mag Well w/ 30 LPI
DeHorned

Thanks. The only thing I'm going to do is replace the rear sight with a Yo-Bo Pro Sight. I really think they've hit the nail on the head with 'em.

I'll try and get to the range this weekend. Will keep you posted.

Trigger feels much better than my TRS did.

Headed to Quantico this AM ... put 200 rounds down range and they were all flawless (as expected).

Very tight groups.

I did remove the recoil buffer because I couldn't sling shot the slide from slide lock, that is a requirement for me because in classes I find myself unable to hit the release lever 100% of the time. I also pulled the variable rate (18.5 lb) spring and used an ISMI 18 lb CS spring.

Too bad you're so far west of me... We could get together and do a bit of plinking.

I shoot at Quantico a good bit - ever head up there? It's about 25 minutes north of you.

javentre,

did they charge extra to put fixed sights and not put side markings on?

That is very close to perfection, IMO. :!:
