Les Baer SRP 1911

[@MattH-wg7ou]

I love the lack of FCS and the coarser frontstrap checkering! This is exactly how I want my 1911! With a magwell though. Beautiful!

[@Gumby56]

I sold my 2 EBKC and 2 TRP's and bought a custom carry and srp and lots of ammo. I'm very happy!

[@boatsnhoes7625]

The serrations on the baer is one of the things that gravitate me to them above all others I think they look and feel better then anyone else in the market. Baer serrations and Wilson's bluing guy a good sehorn with mammoth grips forget about it

[@dustinewing7974]

Ugh people are such snobs in the comment section. Sexy gun, love the grips and that bluing!

[@-Cold-World]

Haha good point! Thank you Dustin!

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Dustin Ewing Thanks for pointing that out. Be nice, this guy put allot of work into this video on a great 1911. Good work on the Video BTW.

[@alfredozamora5867]

Not bluing but more of a spray protective coating... But whatever..I know what you mean.

[@crusader4273]

There is only one custom 1911 ever to be had.. Les Baer ☝🏽🇺🇲🏁

[@cjanquart]

On my "someday when I win the lottery list"...but damn my OCD was going into overdrive when he was just flopping a $3000 handgun on a table. Sheesh, Tekmat or something (yes I know it's a tool, albeit a fairly expensive one at that)!

[@-Cold-World]

It was about 2k when I ordered it.

[@navydoc]

Cold world, I am a fellow 1911 afficionado and really enjoy your 1911 videos. One of your videos you did a comparison between a Wilson and a nighthawk. It would be great if you can do similar comparisons between the Baer against the Wilson, Ed Brown, or Nighthawk. I own a SRP in chrome and a ultimate recon. Have a Wilson 1911 on order and curious to see how Baers compare with other brands. You are probably one of the few in KZbin who have 1911s from the major custom brands and can do such a comparison lol.

[@-Cold-World]

Hey congrats on those SRP Chrome/Recon and the Wilson excellent choices! Thanks for watching!

[@-Cold-World]

Hi Navy Doc, thank you for your comments! That's a good Idea I should do the ultimate 1911 comparison Brown vs Baer vs NHC. Hopefully I'll have something in the works soon.

[@-Cold-World]

Good move! Enjoy you new Baers and thanks for watching!

[@flawlessfoose]

Man, I got a new les baer TRS 25th anniversary coming. My first les baer, cant wait to get it. Love that SRP man, nice review

[@-Cold-World]

Congrats on your TRS 25th! Thanks for watching!

[@MrZola1234]

LB makes great guns, but for the price point, the finish shouldn't be coming off.

[@roger111ify]

Great video partner, hey Big boy rules with weapon loaded check.

[@markrobbins9656]

nice pistol! great company.

[@-Cold-World]

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

[@goldenbanjo197]

That’s a nice gun dude! There is a guy here locally that has a used one for 2k. I’m thinking about buying it.

[@-Cold-World]

Right on buddy, if it's in the budget grab it!

[@fatbowe]

We knew it was empty when everyone saw the slide back…😂

[@Gumby56]

The Dupont S finish is not the best but the gun is. I have a NHC GRP, EBKC, LBCC and Wilson CQB. My favorite is the Baer as well. The Baer mags work well in all my 1911's.

[@-Cold-World]

Glad to hear I'm not the only one, nice collection you have BTW! Thanks for watching!

[@CA.0verview]

You sir have not yet tinkered with a Cabot gun ;)

[@alfredozamora5867]

Come on now not fair ..Cabots guns are the Rolls-Royce , Les baer is the Chevy Nova

[@CA.0verview]

Alfredo Zamora so what does a SVI sit at tell me more I like hear how much better everything else is than a les bear ;)

[@legalsolutions07]

I just bought a LB Premier II with the inch and a half tight tolerance pkg and I'm very impressed. I've only owned Kimber 1911's and LB's are definitely a different class 1911. So since you own LB, EB, Nighthawk & Wilson which do you like the best considering quality of workmanship, components and fit and finish?

[@-Cold-World]

I feel the Wilson is at the top in terms of fit and finish, followed very close second would be NHC, then on a lower tier Ed Brown, and lower another tier to the Les Baer. With that said my Les Baer SRP is still my favorite of them all. It just has a all business feeling to it. I can't explain why but the Wilson feels like it has less soul or character, like it made by a machine not a man. My favorite 1911 go in this order: Les Baer > NHC > Wilson > Ed Brown, still wating in that SA Professional... Thanks for watching!

[@traeucity6087]

Cold World, Thanks for this honest, enlightening appraisal of these high end manufacturers. I totally agree with how you ranked them; and also your assessment of Wilson's lack of soul and character.

[@solid_king1155]

using a minute 8 sec to see if its clear. Why do guntubers do that, not like they gonna shoot uss through the camera. 😂😂😂

[@BobSmith-et1sg]

30 seconds of my life gone checking gun that he should already know if empty before hitting the record button.

[@NewarkDevil66]

Great review.

[@-Cold-World]

Thank you!

[@goldenbanjo197]

What do you think, Les Baer or nighthawk? Or are they pretty equal?

[@-Cold-World]

NHC is a step up IMO.

[@grasunmajjurach6026]

Verygood VERYGOOD @คนไทยแลนด์

[@newshyne0822]

Next time. Completely disassemble the gun to make sure it's unloaded

[@-Cold-World]

There won't be a next time. I'll disassemble the gun when I'm ready to clean it, not when you tell me to. I made sure it was unloaded. Next time why don't you make your own video?

[@therealdonpepe]

Cold World it was sarcasm

[@jaydee5156]

Just cuz. Well that's good enough for me.

[@Cuchulainn42]

Mine was made in Hillsdale, IL LB117**

[@isrstrategies]

Springfield armory armory kote blows away that finish no wear on Trp after thousands of rounds.

[@-Cold-World]

I agree. I've found the Armory Kote to hold up extremely well. Thanks for watching!

[@badmpg]

1:39, an angel dies every time a slide is dropped on a 1911 empty chamber

[@pistolasplateadas]

Excellent review, I own this model customized great gun.💯🪖🎯💥😀

[@moonbeam5188]

I cringe every time you tap that beautiful 1911 on the wood table. Man it would be on a soft cloth if I owned it. I guess it's because I can't afford the high dollar 1911's . Treat it with kid gloves. Nice gun!

[@-Cold-World]

Lol! It's a place mat, fake wood!!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@traeucity6087]

Has Les Baer ever explained why he forces buyers of this gun to bear the cost of the wooden display case? I don't care how nice the case is; it's something I have no use for. I secure my unused firearms; I don't display them in glass covered cases. Also, what happens when the stupid thing is delivered with the glass broken? Either I'm stuck with making room somewhere for a broken display case; or I have to foot the bill for returning the damaged case to Les Baer. Love the gun; but hate that marketing ploy.

[@-Cold-World]

I guess he's just a stubborn old man set in his ways. Everyone complains about the silly box, and I'm sure we all would rather just get the pistol for less $ and he can keep the box. My box is in the cardboard box wasting space in my closet, so you know where I stand about it!

[@alechull4300]

I just picked mine up. I plan on using the box for firewood

[@md1911texas]

Why in the world would you drop the slide on and empty chamber with a 1911. That will damage your pistol

[@-Cold-World]

md1911texas I completely agree. I didn't drop the slide on a empty chamber. I inserted a magazine with a snap cap, then dropped the slide on the cap. Thank you for watching.

[@maximusmeridius6409]

Dude, you cant shoot us thru the camera. Its clear already

[@johnmpifer]

Were you high?

[@-Cold-World]

No. I don't use drugs. Are you high? Thank for watching!

[@johnmpifer]

Cold World OK, you just have a very flat, deadpan way of speaking. I'd suggest adding some inflection and excitement to your voice for your next video. It's certainly an excitement-worthy handgun! It was a joke...no offense meant

[@-Cold-World]

Lol! Thanks for the constructive criticism others have commented on my mono-tone voice in the past. I'll try and improve for my next video. Thanks again!

[@henryjon45able]

As you are trying to verify your purchase of this very expensive 1911, I wonder what you could build yourself for under $1,000

[@-Cold-World]

Jon H I’m not verifying anything. Sorry you’re not able to afford one. I have no clue about “building” guns. Not my trade.

[@MrGNX456]

I think it’s loaded

[@-Cold-World]

Could be

[@boatsnhoes7625]

I meant dehorn

[@robertcalvinbrown7005]

Dude we don't care about safety in a video!! Were not going to get shot..

[@aaronovski9949]

It is more like a guide for some people, is always good to instruct new gun users to safety check guns. People is dumb man lol I bet some check the barrel from the front end...

[@jonsmith3574]

Ambi safety is gay

[@-Cold-World]

I'm not a fan of it either, I prefer strong side only.

[@Totemparadox]

Jon Smith It's not so gay when the pistol is in your left hand and you need to quickly deactivate the safety.

[@jonathancorres1874]

Jon smith is gay

[@lancedacus4560]

Review without shooting it is a waste of time.

[@-Cold-World]

Where does it say review? When did I say review? I suggest you go buy, shoot, and review one. Bye

[@vincenthall8124]

The finish sucks looks like auto paint

[@flawlessfoose]

I bet you have a better gun huh

[@goldenbanjo197]

You are high dude.
