Why I buy 1.5" Baer 1911's.

As a matter of fact, Here is one of Brian Zin's best 25 yd targets. He won
the Nationals at Camp Perry 10 times. This is at 25 yds.

I have a 1.5" PII with over 50k through mine. I bought it used, had about 800 rounds through it. The original owner broke it in and gave up due to arthritis. I will give it up in a few years for the same reason, but for now with wimp reloads it shoots regularly.
 
I guess I am the only one that thinks the extra cash for the 1.5" guarantee is a waste. The Les Baers I own or have owned will make one ragged hole if the shooter does his part. I don't know anyone on the planet that will be able to even test the 1.5" at 50 yard guarantee. In addition, not many people I shoot with use a rest with a handgun or even do 50 yard pistol shooting. 99% of the people can't out shoot their weapons.

That said...your LB in 38 Super is badass.....
 
Sorry guys, not 50 yrds for me. I am no where near that good. I was at 15 yrds which is my standard. I am just now getting ready to jump to 25 yrds. I should have said that in my first post. Sorry for the oversight. Everything was shot offhand, two hands with a modified weaver stance.

The load was a reload of 135 grn MBC round nose, Starline brass and SR4756 above book max so I don't publish it.

Why 50 shots per target? Simple. statistically it is easy to luck into a good 3,5 or even 8 shot string. But try putting 50 shots on paper in a row. Then you see the real grouping capability of your gun and your skill. I always put 50 shot groups on my shooting. Even rifles I normally do 50 shots.

Here is more of my 15 yrd 50 shot group shooting. Some good, some not so good.

Some days I can do well, other days, well, I am just burning powder.

Again, sorry about the confusion. It was an oversight on my part not saying I was at 15 yrds.
