I am going to regret this but I’m not a 1911 person even with an exquisite one like this so I’m putting her up for sale FTF and would prefer to meet someone at The Gun Room in Elk Grove.

Bought new in June 2007, sent to John Harrison for some customization a year ago and I’ve shot 5300rounds total with no mechanical malfunctions, and it’s fed everything from WWB,Magtech,Miwall SWC’s to Ranger SXT’s. I consider this handgun at 99%, extremely accurate with a good shooter and is smooth as silk.

BAER 1911 THUNDER RANCH SPECIAL
Comes With Night Sights!
The new Les Baer CustomThunder Ranch 1911 is a serious, no-nonsense self-defense pistol conceived by Clint Smith, Director of Thunder Ranch, one of the premier training facilities dedicated to teaching people how to survive in a tough, unfriendly world. Clint Smith cares about good guns and he’s concerned that his students are equipped with reliable, accurate guns they might one day have to trust with their lives. That’s why Clint Smith approached Les Baer about developing a dependable, combat-proven 1911 with which he and his students could feel completely confident. So, Clint Smith specified the features he wanted and Les Baer built it. The result is a distinctive yet practical 1911 that’s ideal for personal defense and a source of price for the owner. Features include:
Baer steel NM frame • Baer forged steel NM slide with front and rear serrations • Slide fitted to frame • Baer forged NM barrel with stainless match bushing • LBC deluxe fixed combat rear sight with Tritium inserts • Baer dovetail front sight with tritium insert • Lowered and flared ejection port • Baer checkered slide stop • Baer extended ejector • Standard style thumb safety (extended ambi for left handed shooters) • Baer aluminum match trigger • Baer deluxe Commander hammer and sear • Crisp 4 lb. pull • Baer tuned bar stock extractor • Baer beavertail grip safety with pad • Deluxe high checkered front strap at 30 lpi • Flat checkered mainspring housing • Beveled magazine well • Polished feed ramp and throated barrel • Complete pistol rounded for tactical use • Blue finish on complete pistol • Deluxe special slim line grips with thunder Ranch logo (not available with extended ambi safety) • (3) Stainless steel 7-round premium magazines • Special Thunder Ranch logo engraved on slide • Special serial numbers with “TR” prefix

Also included are 3 Baer magazines, 1 Wilson Combat 47DE, the original baer extractor and Firing Pin Stop.
I will consider new or lightly used LMT, BCM or Noveske CA Legal complete Rifle and Cash or upper + cash as well. I’m in no hurry to sell and if it doesn’t sell then I will just have to keep her
