Remington 1911 r1

[Ghostseeker61]

I already own a Remington 1911 r1 but I'm curious about everyone elses views on it. It's just the basic model. Myself I like it even after 1200 rnd through it I only had one failure to feed but that was after 30 rnds of " dirty reloads I got from my cousin.

I have it figured out.
It was a FTF issue. Not the guns fault.

Glad you are enjoying yours.

I have an R1S and it's one of my favorite shooters. For some reason, the R1S has a different feel than my other full size 1911s. Almost a softer feel to it that I like. What ever the reason, it's a sweet shooting pistol that I need to run more than I do.

Hey churchmouse: Glad you found the prob. Hope you enjoy it like I do. And Grandmaster: I'm like you I would Love to fire mine more but hell 45 acp is getting kinda expensive. And since you said it it does have a smoother feel.

.45 is a whole lot more fun to shoot when you reload for it. Ok, it's about the same to shoot, but you get to shoot more for your dollar.

I've never tried to do reloading myself. Wouldn't even know where to start and now I don't have much time to spare anymore to make it worth it anymore.

Bought my dad an R1 for Christmas two years ago, no complaints from any one who's shot it.

I have a R1 Enhanced 5" and I really like it. I shoot it better that the other two 1911s I have. Not sure why, but I do. I picked it up for >$700 and I think it was an excellent deal for what you get.
