Re: Question for 1911 lovers
I don’t like either but I’d take the sig. Remington has been clunking big time on all their latest designs
Re: Question for 1911 lovers
I have owned both so I am not being sarcastic. Buy one colt and spend the rest on ammo and do both with it!
My r1 was enhanced, meh it will certainly be a plinker.
I had a scorpion and liked it, but that price does not seem very good from what I have seen. Especially for a used gun.
Re: Question for 1911 lovers
The Remington’s were super cheap at one point and people were bitching about their quality. I’m not a sig fan but their 1911s are pretty nice. I have a colt competition model that I enjoy and I think they’re going for somewhere around $800 new with some good features like adjustable sights, fiber optic front, trigger guard under cut and g10 grips with a match grade barrel.
Re: Question for 1911 lovers
The Ruger SR1911 can be found for the same price as that Remmy and is all around much better.
I also second the lack of Remington quality...if all you have is the two to choose from get the Sig.
Re: Question for 1911 lovers
sig goes with some tight tolerances, sometimes too tight.
all the Tacops models I've shot run great.
I used my dremel on my barrel bushing on my 5" scorpion last week . I'd really just like to toss the whole thing into the furnace and take it on the chin.
IMHO, shop around for a new or used full size RIA 1911.

A Remington R1 stainless Enhanced for around $795 - New

Not big on the stainless R1 but action is super smooth and sits well in my hand
Sig is a black beauty, feels great but another $300 ..
What do you 1911 folks have to say about either or both
Do you mean Sig TACOPS? If so, that's way too much for a used TACOPS .45 1911. There are about a dozen BRAND NEW Sigs on Gunbroker for less than $1k. Several are less than $800.
Get the Sig over the Remington.
Re: Question for 1911 lovers
If I had to choose the two I would pick sig hands down.
If you can, try and find a used Springfield operator 1911. I have one and it's a perfectly made 1911 and the prices are within your original range
Re: Question for 1911 lovers
IMO buy the Sig. I think all guns are an investment. In the long run the Sig will be worth far more than the Remington even used.
Re: Question for 1911 lovers
I'll echo the above. Way too much for a TACOPS. There's two on AR15.com running $700. Might want to check there.
As for the R1, pass.
If it were me, I'd look for a used Sig at a much better price or a Colt--they're still good.
