Baer "Boss" can be found in stock at various Baer dealers:

though I'd be tempted to order one with the 1.5" option, where they guarantee it would shoot 1.5" groups at 50 yards.

Colt Special Combat Gov't is another option, though the darn things cost almost as much as Les Baers.

I think one of those would hold its value better than any customs.
