Dear Customer:
It’s been another great year for Les Baer Custom. Sales of our award winning custom 1911 pistols and our spectacular Ultimate AR .223 rifles have skyrocketed. It’s little wonder, because we set out to build the best pistols and rifles of their kind on the planet, and I think we’ve done it. And as we like to say at Les Baer Custom: “If you don’t want to take our word for it, ask the guys who know.” In this case, the guys who know best are the legions of gun writers and editors who have put our guns through their paces and found them to be absolutely the best shooting, most accurate and reliable firearms anywhere.

What were our best sellers in 2002? Our sensational Thunder Ranch 1911 pistol — built in cooperation with Clint Smith, director of America's premier training facility — continued to generate loads of excitement. So did our Monolith, the only 1911 with an extra long dust cover. And our full line of benchrest-quality AR-.223 rifles, built with our own parts and our own
special brand of quality assurance.

Because of our continued reputation for quality, reliability and accuracy, Les Baer Custom has continued to be the choice of consummate professionals like Clint and Heidi Smith at Thunder Ranch, Mike Dalton, and several law enforcement and military organizations. In 2002, the following shooting professionals — all Master class shooters — also carried the Les Baer
banner by shooting Les Baer Custom firearms:

  • Rick Castelow from Murfeesboro, Tennessee - Rick is a longtime, well known
    IPSC competitor.
  • Rick DeGregorio from Warwick, Rhode Island – Rick is a Master Shooter and a top
    competitor whose blazing speed has made him a major contender at every practical shooting match he enters.
  • Mike Dalton’s credentials as a professional shooter are impressive. He’s been a police officer … an FBI certified police rangemaster … a Combat Master since 1978 … a championship competitive shooter … co-founder of the Steel Challenge (World Speed Shooting Championship) … and he operates the International Shootist Institute.
  • John Shaw from Lake Cormorant, Mississippi - John was one of the dominant competitors in the early days o practical shooting and he is now one of the country's most successful firearms trainers at his own Mid-South Institute of Self Defense Shooting.

Here’s big news for 2003:

  • First, our Prowler III pistol is returning. It was one of our most popular 1911s for several years and now it’s back in our lineup.
  • Our Thunder Ranch pistol has been so successful and so well received, Les Baer Custom is now introducing a brand new Thunder Ranch AR .223 Rifle. As with the Thunder Ranch pistol, we developed this brand new, custom built rifle in cooperation with Clint Smith at Thunder Ranch. It’s totally unique…it’s amazing…and it’s very, very “trick”. If you love great rifles, you’ll really love this one.

Enjoy our 2003 catalog, and be sure to look for the new products including our new Thunder Ranch AR .223 rifle and Prowler III 1911 pistol.

Please call us if you have questions about any of the quality products in this catalog. For pricing, refer to our current price list or our web site.

  Thank you for your business,
