Remington 1911 R1 and AR24 Armalite

[OutaAmmo]

Got to shoot the new 1911 Remington today. Sweetttttttttt!!!!!! A really nice handgun. Going to add this to my want list. Asked the Remington rep if they where coming out with any other handguns maybe in 9mm or .40. He said others are in the works and they are going after S & W.

Also got a chance today to fire the AR 24 Armalite 9mm. Another nice shooting handgun.

Now do I just buy another gun safe or just move to a bigger house with a walk in safe?

what was the difference between the remington 1911 and the springfield gi they look almost the same to me

Cast frame and slide on the R1 but made in america.
Forged on the SA, but made overseas. Some were machined here, but they are uncommon from what i hear.

The Remington has a Series 80-style firing pin block safety. Springfield's products do not have an fps. For many people this difference is not important but I will not purchase 1911 pistols with firing pin safties.

Odd. I try and avoid purchasing 1911's with firing pin safeties. Just another part to malfunction and keep the gun from firing when you need it to.

Wait... I can't read. I just figured that out. Sorry, I've aparently become illiterate. I rescind my prior statement.
