I have been meaning to secure a top notch .45 and finally have in my Les Baer  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesbaer.com\/CusCarry.html\">Custom Carry<\/a>. I have tried every .45 I can and so far none compare to the Les Baer guns I&#8217;ve shot. Not even close. I shot 150 rounds today at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reedsindoorrange.com\/\">Reed&#8217;s Indoor Range<\/a> and am about halfway through the 500 round break in period. The gun is super tight and Les guarantees 3&#8243; at 50 yards.<\/p>\n<p>On this target at 15 yards I was able to keep 22 of 25 in the ten ring and 18 X. The cheap Fiochi ammo I bought for the break in is actually super hot so the errors are all mine. After I get used to it I imagine I&#8217;ll be able to improve on this a great deal.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a great custom .45, and you live in California, I don&#8217;t think you can find a better one. Les has gone to the trouble to get 10 of his guns approved for sale here.
