I bought a 1911R1 In March 2011 and Would not want anything else. It Shoots like no other and Easy to Carry Concealed. I use Wilson Combat Mags instead of the ones supplied ( 8 instead of 7 Rounds) and Can depend on it when the going gets dangerous. All I can say is: I would not want to be on the wrong end of this Weapon and If I were a Criminal, I would think twice before going against this one.

I was looking for an 1911, not sure what to buy, Kimber, S&W. But the Remington became my choice. Not only for the price, great feeling gun.
Thanks Remington, very good move, to come back. I love stuff build by Americans, and i’m still gratefull for what those guy’s did long time ago in Europe. Thanks America for another great gun.

Like all true blooded Americans i am glad that Remington is stepping back up to the plate and producing the R1. I own only Rem. rifles and shotguns all made in the U.S.A. I also own over 30 different pistols and the only reliable handguns that S&W/Taurus/Ruger can make are revolvers. But just to be fair i do enjoy my Glock 17 19 23 and (37 45ACP)>and that G-37 is what made myself buy REM R1 and why i’m proud to be an American!!! (Don’t Tread On Me)!!!

Is there a market for the R1? Well you can’t get a WW2 .45 auto for less than a grand unless it’s total junk. At under $700 bucks I would say there is probably a very good market for the R1. It’s a retro-look pistol with upgrades like easy-to-see sights, a beveled ejection port and magazine well. I’d trade my unfired 1970 Browning High Power 9mm for an R1 right now, if I had the chance.

I’m from Buffalo (Upstate) New York.
Glad to see an American based gun company producing a good product and creating jobs.
I’m buying a Remington .45.
