Remington R1 Enhanced?

**philadelphia patriot** · January 28th, 2015, 06:59 PM

Does anybody have any experience or comments on the Remington R1 Enhanced? I'll also accept any information on the standard Remington R1. The R1 Enhanced looks like a decent pistol in theory, but I'm also weary of any new Remington products. Thank you!

I checked out an enhanced model at gander mountain when I was window shopping last week. The top of the barrel had like a rust on it reminiscent of the Kimbers I've seen. FWIW.

I believe Remington leaves their barrels in the white, at least the enhanced model.

I'm looking at the Ruger SR1911 commander and Remington R1 Enhanced. Right now I'm leaning Ruger, but I want to ensure I made a great choice. This would be for range and occasional carry.

The quality is the same on all three. Ruger has the spring detents tube as part of the frame, not standard pined on tube. The Remington enhanced has slide grooves on the front also, that's not standard and the fragile light enhancing sight. See better but can break. The commander is easier to carry, but if that is the goal the original had an aluminum frame. Those are your considerations, that and the company markings.

BCM put this rebranded Wilson Combat 1911 on their site recently. Neat if Youve got the keish.

The r1 is a good gun. Zombie reaper z cammo edition anyway

buddy of mine has RO r1 it shoots well for me and he loves it. My r51 is in limbo land so I get what ou mean on Remington new products. 1911s have been around long enough that if mill spec parts fit in the production gun it will be decent and or able to be made reliable. Every manufacturer makes lemons so go over the one you buy.
