G-MAN Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 If I were in the market for a 1911, and this was within my budget, I'd give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 It seems like a pretty sweet deal. I'm gonna check locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I just held one at Bass Pro near my home. It really seems like a well manufactured GI 1911 with better sights than the WWII vintage 1911's. It is priced at $650, which seems like a pretty good deal.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I've seen it in two shops here in the $650 range. My buddy is picking up his re-sighted Glock today from one of the lower cost gun shops in the area and is going to get me a quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamuMahubah Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Is Remington producing this gun or just putting their name on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remington is making them for E-RPC in Ilion, NY.http://www.1911r1.com/pages/FAQs.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they did this is open to speculation, but could have been done for liability and/or tax reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
