Thanks to all who responded to my earlier post re: itches and stuff. You guys (intentionally or unintentionally) eroded the last bit of self control I had left. I needed to be helped with a little push over the edge.

I ended up buying a Baer blued Concept VII with night sights. I gave the TRS some serious thought but I really wanted a Commander length barrel and the only TRS I could get in a reasonable time was a full size gun. I was also not sure I wanted to shell out the extra few hundred $$$ when (at least by the specs I found) there does not seem to be much, if any, significant differences between the guns other than the 5th SF flash and lightening bolt engraving on slide and stocks.

I must admit - please don't be pissed - that I also gave a Ed Brown Kobra Carry more than a passing thought. My FFL friend in town thought I got a great deal on the Baer and has warned me that it will be <6months before I am figuring out how to wrangle another Baer. He tells me that my Kimber will begin to look crude and that I am now on a slippery slope to financial ruin.

I sent off the money this morning via overnight mail and hope to have my gun in less than a week. Details to follow.....

cheers all
Jack

Jack - Ed Brown makes a fine weapon but I'm sure you will be pleased with the LB VII. Your FFL although kidding wasn't too far off base. 1911s are addictive. Post some pics when you pick up that puppy. Go ahead and get your leather on order. Congrats
