Bobtail Remington


Recommended Posts

  • Administrator

It's a really nice gun clearly intended for the concealed carrier.  Unfortunately, I left pretty much every reason I ever had to carry a 1911 somewhere back in 2008-2010.  Still, there are plenty of people who prefer them and as long as it's something they will properly maintain and carry every day, bless them.

My thoughts:

I don't the idea of using a Government length frame with an Officer's sized slide.   I'd rather it be the other way around, if anything.

No texturing on the mainspring housing means it will try squirm around in your hand, and the bobtail makes it worse.   

I'm not really a fan of the Series 80 firing pin safety.

The safety lever seems mighty wide for a carry 1911.

Clark/Para ramped barrel in .45 means it will probably be more finicky than a standard unramped barrel.  Ramped barrels are great for 9mm / 10mm but in .45 they're more of a headache than anything.

I like the new XS rear sight; I personally found the old express-style rear nearly useless.   

Accuracy results seemed good.  3" from steel cased ammo at 25 yards from a Ransom rest (which I assume they used) isn't bad for a production 1911.

MSRP is $1250 but there is just no way.  I would be looking at a Dan Wesson for close to that kind of money.   For $800, it would be worth a look.
