NCG......do you find trees clawed by bears? How high up are the marks? I would love to see some pictures if you do.

Seriously, would love to see a range report on your Baer, Cigar. Have always wanted one of those. Ridge, haven't bothered to look for those, but will keep my eyes open, now that you mention it. |

NCG, I have 750 rounds through the pistol. Not one problem from round one. I been shooting my reloads after the first 100 rounds. I have used the the mag that came with the gun and have run it well oiled. They say not to clean it for the first 500 rounds. I could not do that. I cleaned it after 250. Hoping to get to the outdoor range with it this week if it warms up. If I do I will post a target pic if I can keep them in the black. |

Congrats on the piece of art. They sure are great looking guns and I hear they are worth the price tag.

I have heard only great things about Les Baer pistols and rifles. How smooth is the action, and how is the trigger? I have read complaints about Ed Brown pistols....but I reckon all tight tolerance 1911's can burp occassionally.

They are a very tight gun and need to be broken in. I would put in on par with my Wilson Combat. I will put another 250 rounds through it before I will carry it.

I wish they would not put "billboards" on their models. I like a clean looking slide. Just one persons preference.

Actually, we could use a few more four-legged predators in the neighborhood. The neighborhood deer population needs some trimming. They've badly over-browsed our local forest.

Decades ago when I was hunting coyotes for their fur I skinned one and it had a thick layer of fat. Not at all like they would be a hundred years ago. Much of the desert around Ephrata is now irrigated fields and a lot of potatoes are grown. They can easily dig them up.

We have coyotes but no wolves. However, a guy down the road had two wolves. I've been in a deer stand before first light and they would start howling. That is a most beautiful sound. Nothing like a coyote.

Dennis, have heard wolves, every once in awhile, but not on a regular basis. Wisconsin did have a wolf season for a couple years until a court order shut it down. Definitely a hot button topic with our deer hunters, up here.
