My very first custom pistol was a Les Baer Stinger in stainless that I bought I think 2007-2008 time frame. Over the years I have owned Wilson, NHC, GI and Springfield, but there is something about that Baer that keeps calling me back. I sold it a few years later, but my memory is of super tight fit that ran like it was on ball bearings and never had a stoppage.

All of the awesome Baer's up for sale here on the exchange have me wanting to pull out the credit card every time I see them.

Tell me it is just a fond memory, and I really don't need to own another Baer, because my wallet will hate me!

We enablers might not be your best sounding board for abstinence.

Sorry, it likely was just as good as you remember it to be.

I recently sold a Baer, and it's the only gun I have ever truly missed. I will be buying another one.

I did the semi-custom 1911 dance as well. Sold them all including a few Baers in the process. I only regretted selling the Baers so I got another. The only 1911s that tempt me now cost a heck of a lot more than this one....or they have a pony on the side.

I say pull the trigger! I know the feeling. I have the same fondness for my Stinger, and no plans to part ways with the old gal.

But TimR...we are only talking "ONE" gun.......right??? (yup!!!)

I can’t help talking you out of another. This is my first 1911, it made a trip to SACS for some spa treatment, and is still one of my most favorites. It runs like a sewing machine and I’d never part with it.

I really like My Premier 2's, they are as far as I need to go in the 1911 semi-custom or custom realm.

It is not just a fond memory, you really do need to own another Baer. Your wallet will forgive you! How's that?

Exactly the affirmation I was looking for!

Another enabler here, That stinger, did you carry it? Favorite carry? Range gun? Did it go to the range all the time? Your here asking? You have answered your question?
Get that Baer!!

Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten . Sometimes you just gotta scratch that itch .
