Being all-steel (our test gun<br />

is hard-chromed), the Stinger<br />

weighs in at a stabilizing 35<br />

ounces. knife is the Spike by<br />

knives of Alaska.<br />

with two guns with exactly the same<br />

performance and standards. The same<br />

legendary lock-up, same appealingly<br />

predictable accuracy and the same fit<br />

and finish. In short, you get what you<br />

pay for, every time, and you can take<br />

that to the bank with you.<br />

Some have called Baer guns “production”<br />

or “semi-production” guns —<br />

but they aren’t. They are true custom<br />

guns, each built one at a time, from<br />

slides and frames Les actually does<br />

build in-house, and each one overseen<br />

ruthlessly by Les himself. Frames are<br />

hand-fit, barrels are hand-fit, bushings<br />

are hand-fit and everything has to meet<br />

exacting standards. Guess who sets<br />

those standards? By the way, Les even<br />

typical groups hovered around 1.5" or a bit less. in a rest, the Stinger would likely shoot well<br />

under 1" at 25 yards. Roy was able to easily hit his 100-yard gong off-hand with it.<br />

An extended ejector and neatly lowered and flared ejection port helped<br />

the .38 Super Stinger to run 100 percent during our tests.<br />

Sights are Baer’s<br />

Deluxe combat<br />

with tritium inserts.<br />

note the high-riding<br />

beavertail grip safety.<br />
