... As soon as another Remington 1911 comes along I am going to CLOSELY examine the front sight - I am rather puzzled about the inference that the sights are falling off of them en masse??? ... Not sure of the en masse .... said they sold a few and a couple had the front sites fall off .... you draw your own statistical conclusions

I wonder if the sights were drifted to far and that's why they fell off.

I've looked a R1 over and liked what I saw. I have several 1911 pistols and intend to buy a R1 very soon.

Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

I believe they are $674 on the Bud's Guns site. Indeed they are made here in the USA according to Gunblast online magazine.

For the money here the Remington has got to be as good or better than anything else in this extremely reasonable price range, you wont touch a new kimber or Springfield for this price,however I am partial to the Sig and would pay the extra for the Sig if I were in the market for a 1911...............Hillbilly.

I too would opt for the Sig, personal preference.

If we had to stay within this price range, Id take a Taurus.
