Les Baer

I am debating on biting the bullet and buying a Baer. Does anyone have one? I have heard some great things, but also some horror stories. Tell me what you know before I drop a ridiculous amount of money (to me) on this pistol.

I have one of his Bullseye pistols. I would buy another Baer without a question. It's a fine pistol, what more can I say.

Tighter than hell.....but great shooters.

I am thinking about the Monolith for the added forward weight. I am going to use it in NRA Conventional Bullseye.

It would be perfect for that. It might not cycle powder puff loads at first, though.

Tight is an understatement, but nothing shoots smaller groups.

I am shooting reloads right now with about 3.2 grains of Bullseye through an old Colt. I suppose that would fall into the "powder puff class, eh". Believe it or not, they cycle, although they only eject about an inch, from a Sig P220.

The Baers I shot needed a power factor of about 135 to run.

PF=bullet weight * velocity (fps)/1000.

I may need to chrono some this week and see what I am getting out of them. I think I am using 240 grain cast lead bullets. So, to get the power factor, they would need to be in the ballpark of 550ish fps. I bet I am way over that.

thanks by the way!
