steviesterno Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hey all, so I'm hitting a milestone birthday this year (30!) and I want to get a new gun to celebrate. The little lady is fully on board and wants to chip in lots, but we're not lottery winners, so no full custom work or anything like that yet. I already have a Concept V in stainless that's all dolled up for competition, and I love it. Eats everything and gets them where I point, even if it's my aim that's off. But with the heavy grips, monster mag well, and target sights it's not ideal for CCW or HD. But I'm having a hard time deciding on the next model to get. I want one that's more carry/hd friendly, and it needs to be in blue. My goal is to shoot the blue off it before it gets passed down to anyone in the family. I like the idea of a rail for lights and lasers, but I don't love carrying those. And I think LB only makes the recon set up like that, right? I might also shoot it in random matches like IDPA and steel challenge, for fun and practice. Eventually I'll take some training classes with it, too. But I also love the timeless look and all business attitude of Matt and Coltman's guns. Plain and simple, night sights, shot well looking "standard" 1911s. so what do you think? Get this one to be more old-school and classic and rail free (haven't decided on FCS yet but maybe not) or should I get the rail version so it can serve a full HD duty roll? Both would be a great option but I only get one... for nowalso where's the best place to get these? Still Hammon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy1629 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Don't know the "best" place to get them but I got my TRS at SportingArms.com That was the best price at the time and the gun was in stock. Fast easy transaction. The gun has ran flawlessly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apexer Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) My vote is for a Baer CC. Try cj1911heaven.com Edited August 17, 2013 by Apexer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I've had three Baers over the years and a 5", hard chrome, Custom Carry was the best of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skdmrklcy Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 My 30th Birthday Baer was a Custom Carry with no FCS or Ambi. I went though Crazy John at cj1911heaven.com price was better than anyone else I have seen. Just give him a call he usually has a ton of things in stock with different options.

rtl Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 TRS (Thunder Ranch Special) +1 This one Check Crazy John's for stock and prices. I have a Concept II and this one and when I shoot it's always the TRS. Easy to carry, OK as easy as any 5" 1911, no ambi safety, fixed sights, I replaced the thin grips with standard.

m.i.c.k.e.y Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 How about a Commanche Monolith Hvwt,. in blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlamphere Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 For a carry gun, the TRS is hard to beat. If you want a competition gun then maybe something with a fiber front sight. That is a tough decision if you have to choose only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biloxi23 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Help or hemp? Hep is how you say help in Texas. Now if he meant "hemp" that is a weed of a different color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
