American Handgunner Special Edition .45 ACP 1911 in collaboration with Les Baer Custom
We Put Our Name On This For You
It’s only natural the world’s best handgun magazine teamed up with Les Baer Custom to create an exclusive celebration of both the classic John Browning 1911 design — and the custom touches our readers want to see! The result is this stunning Special Edition 1911 from Les Baer celebrating American Handgunner’s 45 years breaking new ground covering the 1911 — and showcasing the timeless lines and engineering of this distinctive piece of American history.
John Browning’s original 5″ barrel design and full-size Government frame offer the advantages shooters have relied upon for more than 100 years.
