Entry by Ernest Emerson in a 1911 Forum on 05-15-09/1600 hrs.



The Les Baer/Emerson CQC-45 Project

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that the Super Secret Project is no longer secret some thanks are in order. First, I would like to thank Roy Huntington for his enthusiasm, encouragement and efforts in helping bring this from inception to creation.

Second, my thanks to Les Baer and all of his crew for having the faith that this was a viable endeavor and for faithfully executing all my requests. Mind you, Les Baer knows more about 1911’s in his little pinky than I’ll ever know in a lifetime and it certainly shows in his guns. I’ll never forget him saying “Ernest, this is going to be fun.” And I’m thinking ”Man, I’m talking to Les Baer, how cool is that?”

Third I’d like to thank Craig Sword from Mil-Tac. Craig is a true gentleman and I am proud to call him my friend. As you know Craig makes some of the finest gun grips in the business, and he took the time on many occasions to answer my questions, talk about grips and get us material from his own stock when we were in a jam. If you don’t already have a set of Craig’s Mil-Tac grips, you should.

I would also like to thank Harry Humphries and Denny Chalker for being the first ones to instruct me in the care and feeding of John Browning’s wonderful, magnificent, timeless, masterpiece. And along the way there have been so many others who have graciously given their time and advice to me, and all of whom I now count as friends and family, Scottie Reitz, John Hollister, Hilton Yam, Marc Semos, and Craig Huber, to name a few.

We are building all the grips for the Les Baer/Emerson pistol and will also be building custom grips with our skull logo and a variety of other designs that we’re going to offer. All of this will be offered under our Emerson Gunslinger Gear Brand and, in addition we will be offering our custom titanium lug wrench/bottle opener and a variety of other accessories, that we will be adding as they are developed.

Over the years I’ve had a lot of great guns yet nothing ever replaced the 1911 in my book. I’ve had loosey goosey, combat guns, highly worked custom models and I’ve loved them all, for all of their quirks, differences, and personality traits. One of the guns I’ve always wanted was a Les Baer custom and now, finally, I have one and it has my name on it. The Les Baer/Emerson CQC-45 debuting at this weekend NRA Show. I hope you like this gun as much as I do. Oh yeah, there’s an Emerson Knife to boot.

Best Regards,

Ernest R. Emerson

I love to play cards. I appreciate a good deck, the feel, the glide and the look. These are very nice decks. They are designed by me and are truly Emerson originals. They are 300 GSM stock laminated with a linen finish built to the highest specs as premium casino cards.

They are as good as the best playing cards on the market.

We have both deluxe boxed set decks in clear plastic gift boxes and decks in cardboard window tuck boxes.

And we have one deck, a very special deck that contains a very special card, “The Golden Ace”. This card is a Titanium Ace of Spades that is polished and anodized to a very special Gold color. In the spirit of Willie Wonka, the lucky person who buys the deck that has the Golden Ace wins an Emerson Grand Prize. The grand prize will be a hand-ground prototype full checkered CQC-45 Knife and a whole bunch of Emerson Swag and goodies that we'll be adding to as we go along. The prototype knife alone is worth $1,000.00.

Someone out there is going to be a very lucky card player and is going to take home a very sweet pot.

If you are the one to get the deck with the Golden Ace, just get us a picture of you, the ace and the special code on the back of the card and all the prizes will be yours.

Who will get the golden Ace? Who will it be?

Good Luck,

Ernest R. Emerson
