[QUOTE="tomthebaker, post: 2963484, member: 1054"] Baers are tight slide to frame and barrel bushing. Browns are relatively loose. A little play in the slide, and a barrel bushing you can turn without a wrench. Browns are as polished and dehorned inside as they are outside. Baers are full of burrs and rough edges inside. Notably, they don't deburr the slide before they fit it on the frame, so it can be riding on a burr along the edge. Mine was. My favorite solution was to carry the Brown, but fit it with a tight match Brown match barrel bushing. I felt that gave me the best of both worlds. If I had to do it over, I would buy the Brown and skip the Baer. [/QUOTE]
