The new Les Baer
CustomThunder Ranch 1911 is a serious, no-nonsense self-defense pistol
conceived by Clint Smith, Director of Thunder Ranch, one of the premier
training facilities dedicated to teaching people how to survive in a tough,
unfriendly world. Clint Smith cares about good guns and he's concerned
that his students are equipped with reliable, accurate guns they might
one day have to trust with their lives. That's why Clint Smith approached
Les Baer about developing a dependable, combat-proven 1911 with which
he and his students could feel completely confident. So, Clint Smith specified
the features he wanted and Les Baer built it. The result is a distinctive
yet practical 1911 that's ideal for personal defense and a source of price
for the owner. Features include:
Baer steel NM frame
Baer forged steel NM slide with front and rear serrations
Slide fitted to frame Baer forged NM barrel with stainless match

This specially
engraved pistol is identical to the original Thunder Ranch gun and comes
with all the same value-added, high performance features as the pistol originally
specified by Clint Smith, director of Thunder Ranch. But, it's beautifully
engraved, as well, and it comes with traditional ivory grips and the same
special finish as our Presentation Grade 1911 shown on pages 22-23. For
collectors of classic 1911s, this is a "must have" addition to
the collection. |
