George,
I have always been a big fan of stainless guns. But, now I have a problem , I finally have the dough to buy a fine 1911 and want a Les Baer. I talked to Les and he recommended blued. I respect his opinion but like the look of stainless. I was told that stainless would gaul therefore, it cannot be machined as tight. I know I'm rambling but, I need help. Will the fit of a Les Baer stainless verses blued be that different? I hope you can shed some light on my situation here. Les also said, that the stainless was not as strong as carbon steel. By the way, I shoot ipsc and would use this gun mainly for target and an occasional single stack match.
