#LesBaer

Welcome to ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, which may turn into a new regular series on here at TFB. As you could probably gather from the title, this column is going to look at different guns that are actually for sale and pose the question – is this a nice gun or just overdone Fudd garbage? TFB staff will weigh in, but readers will get the final say through a poll at the bottom of each article. Today we’re looking at this VERY custom Les Baer Boss 1911, currently up for auction on GunBroker with a starting bid of $2,000 and No Reserve.

In this #SHOTShow episode of TFBTV, I talk with Kevin from Davidson’s. While you may be aware of Davidson’s being a huge distributor for firearms, what you may not know is about Gallery of Guns. The Gallery of Guns lets you purchase firearms, to include a bunch of Davidson’s Exclusives, directly through your local gun shop. They have exclusive offerings through Sig Sauer, Begara and Les Baer to name a few.

Hopefully, everyone has made it through Thanksgiving, had a delightful self-induced food coma, and re-emerged with renewed vigor for firearms and Christmas wish lists at the ready! If you fancy yourself an affectionate lover of the 1911, what would be your dream custom 1911? There are many gorgeous, intricate, and masterfully designed models out on the market if you know where to look. Some can have an entry point of $1,000 while others you may need quite a bit more coin than that to take them for a spin. So for this month, we propose this question to you… What is the BEST Custom 1911?

One of the cool things about SHOT is that you often get to meet the men and women whose names adorn the products we love. When I spoke to Les Baer of Les Baer custom, he showed me his new 1911 for 2013 called the “HEMI 572” which is based off of his love for high performance cars and the Les Baer Premier II pistol.
