CSEMARTIN Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Errrr Does that mean your three are for sale Nope. They are also great back up guns!!! Larry is staying with me. I'll never sell him. He's won too many matches!! Night train could be had for around 2K (unless I keep shooting IDPA--he's the only one that makes weight & is IDPA legal, but now that I have a mill.....). Jailbait and I have a special bond. After I rebuilt him, I have to see just how much abuse he can take before he breaks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve J Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Wrong!!!Nice bit of snobbery there You know what......you're right. Those Les Baer guns are for beginners!!! Blasphemy. Perhaps you could enlighten us where the other great 1911 builders and pistolsmiths fall in your oddly skewed 1-10 scale. In no particular order (I'll leave that up to you).

MichiganShootist Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'd add Marianne Carniack to the list. Her work on my guns has been excellent....She has been a 1911 specialist since childhood and---- as a bonus... she's a real looker I noticed Ned Christianson isn't on the list... That's okay-- he'll probably add himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve J Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 The list I did in haste. It is not all inclusive. I strongly suggest that my fellow snobs resist the temptation toward fanboyism and not denigrate or disparage any fine 1911 or its maker. If we snobs do not stand together, we will surely be divided and conquered by plastic and open gunners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we snobs do not stand together, we will surely be divided and conquered by plastic and open gunners. The fact that the list is not all inclusive is obvious by the glaring omission of a number of extremely capable pistol smiths who frequent this very Forum..... With that being said I most certainly agree to the above observation. As one who actually shoots the 1911s I buy I will say that few of the above listed make guns the average shooter can afford or have any real chance of owning.
