I was -><- this close to buying a used Baer when I got my Ed Brown. The Baer was one a competition shooter had put a lot of rounds through but Cabela’s still wanted new-gun money for (which is why I went EB, it was new). Even though it had a pushing-six-figure round count on it, the barrel bushing was tight as could be(!) I don’t regret going EB but do think of that Baer from time to time.

I'm carrying my 1911 right now (to Waffle House!) not because I don't have something lighter/smaller/high capacity. But I love 1911s.

Anything beyond that is just dicking around with an already perfected gun ... with the possible exception of installing improved sights.
