In all the pictures I've seen of Baer 1911s the plane of the slide to frame is uninterupted, and usually with 1911s this is not the case. Is the slide thinner or the frame larger than a "normal" 1911's? Is this just a Baer signature, or is there some other reason for this? |

On their Baer's website it looks like one smooth line like in this picture  But apparently their website is the only place this phenomenon occurs because just googling for pics I can't find one actual picture that shows this.

| I think it's an illusion, because the Baers encountered in R/L never caught my eye that something was off. In the case of the hypothetical that there is a specific model that does this, I would state with confidence that the frame would be beefed up, because the amount of slide shaved off to accomplish that effect would be too significant to function properly. |
