Custom carry :)
Gave crazy John a call today. He has what I want with a slightly different safety but that's ok. It's a CC with no FCS and a tactical ambi safety. I wasn't ready to commit to the purchase today because I've been in class since I called. But tomorrow no school so I'm gonna place the order. Just hope he still has it when I call.

GO for it!!! I love my CC.

Give a range report after you get it if you do end up buying!

I got my first Baer from CJ; a CC Comanche.

All I've changed on it was the ambi safety (went to a single sided one) and the grips.

Only reason I didn't buy my TRS from him is because I got it used.

Great guy; and a great pistol!

Here it is:


Ivory grips are by Sarge at The Finer Grain.

yeah I'm gonna call and order it tomorrow and i figured if i didn't like the safety just switch it out.. i was gonna get the 1.5 guarantee but he didn't have it.. so its just the regular 3" which is still pretty badass.. my only thing was that i didn't want the FCS so I'm happy he has one in stock without them

Great!

Be sure and post some pic's when you get it!

You're about to find out what "Baer's" are all about.

Take care,

Rick

yeah when i went to the range last they didn't have the baer there so i couldn't test it out. but i guess ill find out from my own. question.. maybe this isn't the correct section for this but how do most of you store your guns? lock boxes, small safes,..etc.. whats the best way to store it if I'm only going to be shooting maybe every other week?

Store them in a safe, not a case. A thumb safety is not an easy-change part, it must be fitted. Enjoy your Baer!

Bravo Joey!!! you'll soon be enjoying your "Baer" at the range the only down side to this is you'll never want to put it down or store it , then you'll want to play with it 24-7 .........store it in a Gun safe Joey

I bought this slim gun vault micro vault. Because it will fit in my drawer and I can throw it in a laptop case and take it to the range. I made due with what I had before I go out and buy a nice range bag. Still waiting on the shop to receive my gun so I can start the ten day waiting period.
