Custom Brown

When you are starting a business of Your Own, you have to really think about the little things to be able to save all the money You Can. Even getting brown paper bags to pack your customers purchases from a wholesale supplier can save you a lot of money in the long run, and when your business starts to grow, you will save even more.

The whole idea behind the wholesales is that when you buy more, you will get it cheaper. And the more you buy the more you save. If you have a business that is steady based, meaning that you are absolutely sure that you will be doing business for a long time, you should start buying necessary things like those brown paper bags as much as you can. Getting a years stock in advance is not much if you can save a little per bar, and when your sales go up, also the amount you save goes also.

The bad thing about these kinds of wholesales is that you can't usually get the bags printed with your company logo. They are plain brown paper bags and if you want to get them printed, you will have to outsource that to a different company. There are a lot of different companies providing the printing services and some of them allow you to bring your own bags. Unfortunately they are not necessarily the cheapest ones and you might end up paying more. This is why you should consider brown paper bag wholesales only if you are willing to use plain bags for your needs. This way your clients won't be doing any advertising for you when walking around the town with your bag, but you will save a lot of money in the costs of the bags.

Which of these guns is of higher quality: Les Baer Custom Carry 1911, or Ed Brown Classic Custom 1911?

Ok, so here's where the is going to be alot of disagreement. There are really at least 4 different classes/grades of 1911 pistol. Budget, a sort of Standard, a Premium Standard and Custom. Roughly, you are looking at pricing that's under $500, between about $600 - $900, $900 - $1,500 and then $2,000 and above.

So, for many people getting into the 1911 world a budget gun is fine. What do you get for $500? First it is an import from a second tier country - a Norinco/China, a Charles Daly/Turkey?, Amscor/Phillippines, etc. The quality of these has actually improved significantly in the last 20 years, so what you will get will be a working weapon, generally from cast vs. forged parts. The refinement will be minimum in the non presentation areas, and things like triggers will be heavier (7 - 10 pounds or more), with a rougher pull. In many cases the materials will be less than premium, but workable. Slide to frame fit will be a bit looser than in higher grade weapons and the slide movement will have some grab in how it feels. When shooting or carrying the pistol it will likely have some rough spots, or sharp corners. Sights will be copies of premium sights with varying quality. Accuracy will generally be in the 5" - 6" range at 25 yards or so, maybe a bit better. Perfectly servicable.

Standard pistols are going to have more refinement. Here you are looking at the entry end of the ParaOrdinance line and Taurus 1911's primarily. Still running on cast or possibly MIM (Metal Injection Molding) parts which means rough spots throughout the gun, but generally in non - visible areas, and not on your sliding surfaces. Slide to frame fit will still vary pistol to pistol and generally be on the loose side. Triggers will be better, but still will likely be in the 6 pound range have some drag and potentially be "mushy" on the break. Generally still will have copies of more premium components, but will have the refined components - the Para will have their "claw" extractor the Taurus will have the beavertail, full lenth guide rod, etc. Accuracy at distance may be better, may not, but probably won't be worse. Again, a perfectly servicable weapon, with at least some nice refinements making it more fun (for some) to shoot.

A premium production gun is a pretty big jump. Here you are talking about Kimber, Springfield, ParaOrdinance's higher end line, DoubleStar, SIG, Smith and Wesson, Dan Wesson, etc. Here you are talking about weapons that are Made From at least MIM components and in some cases forged. Tolerances are all much tighter and parts are hand sorted and fit by craftsmen in certain areas. Most of the user interface components, trigger, sights, barrel will be good quality in house copies mixed with brand name top of the line parts. Triggers will be better still running 4 - 5.5 pounds, smoother and more crisp in the break. Fit and finish will start to border on not having easy to find flaws and accuracy will be much better. In the case of Kimber they are generally using match barrels and you will be looking at 2" or less at 25 yards with good ammo. Slide to frame fit will be tight, sliding surfaces will be polished and it will feel good racking the slide with little or no grind. I have a Kimber and a Springfield myself and they are fine weapons.

Now, when you take the next step up - Les Baer, Ed Brown, Caspian, STI, SV/Infinity, Wilson Combat, Nighthawk, etc. You are getting the best of everything. Frame and slide will be machined from forged billet, and hand fit together by craftsmen. Trigger components will at least be Premium Grade from a reputable name or will be the premium from the 1911 manufacturer. The triggers will be as good as a 1911 trigger can get and in most of these guns tuned to your preference. You want a dead on 4 pound trigger with no take up and a medium reset? Done. You want a 1.75 pound trigger with Super Short reset and a short take up? Done. It is assumed the triggers will break like glass and have no grit in the take up without feeling sloppy. Despite feeling tight, the guns will run well and feed most ammo. No sharp corners, no missed details - or they'll fix them for you. Accuracy will be in the 2 to 3" range at 50 yards, not 25 and possibly better. Les Baer guarantees at least 3" at 50 and you can get 1 1/2 if you ask for it. Finally, you are into the world of your choice. At this point you can pick up the phone and talk to the gunsmith and tell them what you want. Can't do that with the production guns.

So, is all of that worth it? Depends. I don't like shooting the lower grade weapons, I can absolutely feel the difference. Even my Springfield had custom work done on the trigger to clean it up and make it lighter and crisper. I don't think you can go wrong between the Baer and Ed Brown, my preference is probably for the Baer, but I have less shooting time with Ed's stuff. My SV is certainly a more refined pistol than either the Kimber or Springfield, even with the Kimber being a first generation when they were doing alot more hand fitting and tuning.
