I had a SRP in stainless finish. Very beautiful gun. One quirk I found was behind the thumb safety, the cutout was so big that when the safety was up, part of the hole shows through. Didn't think a $3000 gun would have such a glaring issue.

I have pistols for most of the companies on this list and as Texasjack said they have all been excellent choices.
Several of my pistols were more expensive than my SA TRP, which has performed as well at a lower price.
I live my Wilson Professional, but one of the things that I always really liked about the Les Baer guns was the micro grooved cocking serrations. I shot a buddies and compared it to my Wilson. I think my Wilson felt a little tighter. That could be because the LB was a 5" gun and my Wilson is a 4" gun. I certainly would not turn one down.

A man of vision but with no mission.
If I were to get one more it would be a Wesson Commander Classic.
I will never own another Les Baer pistol.
Several years ago, I bought a blued Premier II with the accuracy upgrade. When the pistol arrived, it had a flaw in the bluing next to the muzzle. The flaw was a result of the bluing not attaching to the metal.
I called Les Baer to report the problem. A crude older woman told me they had no control over a pistol once it leaves the factory. I asked to speak to Les. He told me they weren't going to do anything and a return was not possible. His last comment to me was "if you are unhappy, sell the pistol. There are plenty of people who would like to have it, even if it has a factory flaw".
I took him at his word. I sold it at the Dallas Gun Shop the next weekend.
I hope you guys have better luck with your Baer's than I did.

First to know - Last to care!
I have a Les Baer SS Stinger. It is capable of better accuracy than my skills support. Because of that I would get rid of it but is it the only one in that category that I own.
