Ended up with another 1911 - Remington R1 - took it out for a short range trip today

nice looking gun overall



R1 was unfired, brought my very much fired Colt for comparison -



Warmed up with the Colt, five rounds per target, 10 yards, rapid fire. Hit low left cause I was wearing a jacket -




R-1 - not bad for new gun and first time I'd fired it.



Colt (5)



R1 (5)



Colt (5 more) flyers happen



R1 - (5 more)




Overall impressive. Good option for a 1911 if you don't want a made in Phillipines pistol or pay Colt/Kimber prices.

Awesome. I have heard from day one they are really nicely made guns for the money. One of these days I'll own one.

Nice, when I was looking at purchasing my first 1911 I looked at a R1, really liked it and hopefully one day I will add one to my collection.

I bought one last week, they have a $75 mail in rebate thing going and with the extra 10% off at Gander Mountain it made it a heck of a deal. Going to shoot it this week.

We shot 1911s the other day. I like the looks of the Rem 1911. Thats pretty good grouping. I got to shoot a Rock Island 1911 A2 the other day . I really like it till i found out it was made in the Philippes. IT ALMOST shot as good as my Sig Scorpin 1911. Whats the cost of Rem 1911 ?? Around 600??

I got a Remington R1 stainless as a Christmas present from my wife. It has functioned flawlessly so far and I really like the looks of it.

They make an enhanced version that has different features I think.

They are good looking guns. Very natural aiming and balance too.

Yep, the one in OP's post and the one I got are listed at $700 at Gander Mountain, so with their 10% off and the $75 rebate I got it for $555 plus tax.
