New Tool

[joeleerj]

A new hammer for the tool box. I waited 91 years for Remington to re-enter the handgun ( hand tool ) market again.

I love it when we get new American Made options. This appears to be a competitor for the stuff made in the Philippines. I have watching for one of these. One of the forum dealers said he sold some to forum members; but I haven’t seen any reviews yet.

What is your initial opinion on fit and finish? When you get it to the range be sure to give us a review. Is this your first 1911? Where did you get it?

Good luck

Man, you're old!

I saw one of these next to the 1911 I bought yesterday. Nice choice!

While I am not a huge 1911 fan anymore, I really am having a great desire to see one of these in person...

My first impression of this gun was WOW! The finish is very good, but not great. But, for a$550.00 gun, that's ok. The frame to slide fit is excellent; however, when racking the slide, it feels gritty. This may improve with time. At the range shot 450 rounds of various ammo, ball, JHP, and lead. Did not experience any misfeeds, jams, or ejection problems. The gun is very accurate. I did not have to adjust the sights, because, I was able to make consistent head shots from 25 yards. It came with a match grade stainless steel barrel, press fitted bushing, lowered and flared ejection port. The front strap is smooth (I'm going to have it checkered), and the main spring housing is flat. It fits my hane very well, but I prefer an arched main housing (I'm changing the housing). Oner all this is a great gun. I own and or have owned other 1911's, that were much more expensive, and none of them were any better than this one.

good looking gun and sounds like a nice shooter.

If I was in the market for a new 1911 this is the way I'd go. I fondled one and it seemed real nice. Glad to hear it's a shooter. The gun case is cheesy, but about all the new ones are.

Thanks. I agree the the case is not all that great, but for $550.00, it's not a concern. I have replaced the main spring housing to an arched type, and I will soon have the front strap checkered. That's all I plan to do to this gun. Since my last post, I have put another 400 rounds through it, with not jams or misfeeds. I think Remington got this one right.

Great! Another 1911 to drool over! I never thought I'd get addicted to them, but it's happened. I guess all these good reports will have me looking again.

Congrats on a great buy.

Yea, I've got the 1911 bug also.
