My Remington 1911 R1 came today. I broke it down and punched the bore. It's seems to be well made. Everything I wanted and nothing I didn't. High Brass wanted one but was one to not spend money on himself and wouldn't let his wife buy one. After pondering on it I decided to buy one. I considered a Para but liked the looks of the R1 more.
I really like these guns. I've set p a half-dozen, by various makers, exactly like that. Iron out the kinks, combat accuracy job, install high hardball sights and double-diamond grips.
Range report when you can, please. A R1 Commander is calling my name...
