valkyrie.rider,
I've found the following truths hold true about 98% of the time, hence the commonality in the responses you've been receiving here.
1. The sale or trade of any fine firearm from your personal collection will almost always be regretted later. This is especially true in the case of 1911s. I learned my lesson after selling/trading off guns like my Colt AR-15A2 carbine and HK P7M13 -- and I don't intend to repeat those same mistakes with any of my 1911s.
2. One can never have too many 1911s. It really is true. While your preferences and tastes may change somewhat with the passage of time, you will probably find yourself becoming increasingly fond of both of your current 1911s. These things just tend to "grow" on you. Keeping them now also gives you a lot more options down the road.
As your interest and shooting styles change, you will learn to appreciate the fact that you have more than one or two guns to work with, and you can optimize them accordingly (i.e. one for bullseye, one for IDPA/carry, etc., etc.).
No sense in living with regrets ... keep both the Baer and the GSP, and start saving up for that Wilson. It may take a lot longer to add a CQB to your collection than you would like, but in the end you'll be a much, much happier man.
Can I get an "Amen?" :smile:
