Hello Gang,
A quick follow up report of my experience with the recently new Les Baer TRS. I also have a question at the end.
I didnt like the slim wood grips that came stock. There wasnt enough for my big hands to hold on to. So I purchased and installed a set of VZ Elite Tactical Carry grips in Olive Drab. I am very satisfied. They feel good and look great too. Not to take anything away from the classic wood laminated grips and black frame, but I think these really look sharp. Thank you to those that suggested VZ. Picture below.

Next I was dealing with the thumb over the safety grip. Though I had my doubts, I was linked to some Rob Leatham clips and saw how well the thumbs high and forward grip served him. After a trip to the range it proved effective and not as awkward as I expected.
Moving on
I believe that all my guns are working guns. As said before by others on GT, there are no safequeens in my house.
So, how many rounds need to go through my extremely tight Les Baer before its deemed a reliable carry gun?
I have about 660 rounds of range ammo through it now. Had a total of 2 FTLs with the stock Les Baer magazines. I have since picked up some Wilson Combat mags with no issues. I plan to put through another 200 rounds plus use up my current stock of aging Self Defense ammo this Monday.
Ive been able to trade for a very nice Bommeland Max-Con V from a fellow GTer and am looking forward carrying it soon.
