Les Baer's Premier II© has become the industry standard to which all other factory or custom built 1911s are compared. The 5" long Government Model (pictured above) is the best single stack duty, defense or competition pistol you'll find in America -- the best quality, the best value and the best performance. 

No wonder so many of them show up at IPSC Limited Class matches. The Premier II© is even guaranteed to shoot 3" groups at 50 yards! We've sold so many in the USA and abroad, the Premier II© has become the flagship of our line. It performs like a million bucks but it costs a whole lot less. Weight 36 OZ.

Les Baer's Custom MONOLITH is a real monument in steel. It's one bad boy that's as tough and rugged as it looks. The MONOLITH's steel frame has an extra long dust-cover (the only 1911 in the business) that matches the length of the slide. This gives the five-inch slide and the frame a blocky, one-piece appearance...really an awesome look. It also gives the MONOLITH some extra heft on the front end which helps reduce muzzle flip. If you compete in USPSA Limited Class or in Centerfire Bullseye matches, you know the kind of edge that can give you. Weight 37 OZ

We guarantee 3" groups at 50 yards.

Like our original Monolith, this reduced size version is tough as they come. The steel frame has an extra long dust cover that matches the length of the slide. That gives the 41/4" slide and the frame a blocky, one-piece appearance. It also gives the Monolith Commanche extra heft on the front end which helps reduce muzzle flip. Guaranteed to shoot 3" groups at 50 yards. In addition to all the features of the original Monolith (except for a recoil buff and front cocking serrations), the Commanche also includes:

• Tritium night sights front and rear and our deluxe fixed rear sight

• Edges rounded for tactical carry

Caliber: 45 ACP only. Weight 35 OZ

Here's another Monolith model with still more weight added - a full 3.5 oz. over and above the weight of our popular Premier II©. All the weight has been added along the center line of the pistol on the dust cover so the balance is excellent. The added weight is a great way to reduce muzzle flip and felt recoil without adding the extra length and expense of a compensator. Features are exactly the same as the Monolith with the addition of the heavier frame. We guarantee 3" groups at 50 yards. (2) 8-round premium magazines. Weight 40oz.

Caliber: 45 ACP; Also available in supported chamber: 9mm or .38 Super.

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.

Comes With Night Sights!

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. For collectors of classic 1911s, this is a "must have" addition to the collection.
