Lets talk High end 1911's for a spell...when I say High end I mean guns that start in the 2K plus range.

makers that come to mind are Les Baer, (one of my fav's, but don't own one yet) Wilson Combat, Nighthawk Custom.

Of course they all have many different models....

I've always lusted after a really really nice 1911 but have not thrown down for one...So who's got one, had one etc....

are they worth the $ or is it just style points and marketing hype....

I know we got at least one Les Baer owner on here...feel free to discuss any other high end makers I left out....lets keep it to 1911 guns that we know are 2K and up

The only Les Baer I would buy is a 5". I would not buy a commander from him. Limited options if you want to customize.

You forgot Ed Brown. Again limited customize option but more than Les.

For the money don't forget Springfield Custom Shop.

Those that say they don't get it have never shot or held a semi custom or full custom.
