PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

I've dreamed of having a Baer for a long time. Can't wait for it to happen.

Bud... what problem did you have with Wilson..... Did Wilson fix the problem?

OD.... what is it about a Baer over the Nighthawk and Wilson that you prefer?

Well, I owned a Wilson once.
I won't get into bashing them, so lets just say I wasn't thrill with the pistol.

Nighthawk, to be perfectly honest with you, I don't have much first hand experience with. I've never shot one so maybe I shouldn't even have commented, but in the hand, I just prefer how the Baer felt over the NH.

I vote Baer too, just because I have one on order. I ordered one because the owners of them are just about as fervent towards them as Colt owners are to their weapons. i dont have any reason to dislike the others though! good luck in your decision!
