Great job Tom! Les Baer is a quality guy, he is just the manufacturer I really like to support. One that really cares what his customers think. He says his pistols are like ones from the '30s and '40s, he is like a business owner from that time too! Someone that really enjoys making his product and puts pride into it. There aren't that many manufacturers like that anymore. Excellent interview Tom!

Les is the man! I'm getting a Custom Carry as a Christmas present for my dad. He's always wanted a good 1911 for himself because that was his service pistol when he was an MP in the Army. I think he's going to love it!

I called the company with a question once and the people that answered went out and caught Les on the way to his car and he came back in and took my call. Extremely helpful. Prompted me to buy a second gun 45 from him. I have shot Wilson's, NightHawk's and Brown's and I would buy a Les Baer 1911 before any other.

+Kowan57 When I had decided to order a Baer pistol and over time I had several questions, with some of them rather technical. Eventually I ordered a Monolith through the local gunshop that was to accept the delivery as is required here. The pistol did not arrive quite as ordered. Every communication (Pre & Post Order) was answered by the receptionist no matter how technical or polite the question. Even the emails addressed directly to Les Baer was answered by the receptionist. No return emails or calls ever arrived from Les or one of his gunsmiths.

My next 1911 is going to be a Les Baer, because they're so personable. They take pride in their products. From an engineering standpoint, the hand fitting is something to be proud of, since everything is verified to be of a certain standard that lends itself to being ideal to the concept.

That's amazing that he would do a phone interview with you! I knew he was a nice guy from your other video, but this goes above and beyond what I would expect him to do. If I get into the high quality 1911's, Les Baer is the first on my list.
