The Premier II is Les Baer’s flagship model, and this example showcases the brand’s hallmark hand craftsmanship. The slide and frame are precisely lapped for a glass-smooth cycle, then finished in matching matte blue for a purposeful, glare-free look.
A match-grade carbon-steel barrel and fitted bushing deliver the pistol’s 3" at 50-yard accuracy guarantee. The low-mount, click-adjustable rear sight and serrated ramp front blade allow exact zeroing without sacrificing a durable sight picture.
Controls follow the classic single-action 1911 layout, supplemented by an extended thumb safety, a crisp skeletonized trigger, and a lightweight skeletonized hammer for a fast, consistent break. 30 LPI checkering on both the front strap and mainspring housing locks the pistol securely in hand, complemented by double-diamond red G-10/Micarta grip panels.
This full-size, eight-round .45 ACP ships in its original hard case with factory documentation, build certificate, and accessories—ready for range work, match use, or addition to a high-end 1911 collection.
