Bought this when it first came out, and it's been one of the best 1911's I own of the 14 I have. The finishing is very surprising. You can tell when a manufacturer takes corners with inner machining of a 1911. This magnum 1911 has SUPER smooth machining inside and out. I love it!!

This Magnum Research is a heavy gun. Too heavy for me to everyday carry but the weight is helpful in taming the 45acp. Excellent gun for it's purpose.

Fit and finish of this firearm are immaculate. Gun is clean, sleek, and sexy. Extra wide serrations in the slide make for easy racks, grip is comfortable, and sights are great. Mags are not so great. I am not 100% why or what should be changed but Colt mags work like a dream.

I purchased this at the end of last year. This definitely seems to be an underrated 1911 at a reasonable price. The only issue I have with it is the finish is not very durable. I haven't shot it very much yet but the finish has already rubbed off the butt and where the web of your hand sits. It already looks like its served as a duty gun for a while. If you aren't concerned with it staying visually like new maybe get the stainless.

Wow, absolutely LOVE this pistol. Fit and finish is fantastic and the action is perfect. The only upgrade I did was adding some G10 grips but otherwise it's perfect. I can't even count how many boxes I've run through it and I've never had any issues what so ever. Easy to take down and clean as well, doesn't require any tools which is nice (single piece guide). I would grab another in a heartbeat but wow, today's prices, crazy. I would absolutely recommend this model to anyone looking for a 1911.

Great pistol for the price, easily comparable to the Colt 1911 in quality and functionality! Worth adding to your collection!

Best dead stock 1911 I own, hands down. Runs like a champ and eats everything I run through it. You'll never regret dealing with Bud's.

This pistol is an excellent buy for those who want a very nice 1911 but don't want to spend $1500+. The G10 grips are great, the fitment of the slide to frame is EXTREMELY smooth, great trigger, and it's very accurate! Once broken in, the trigger pull will be in the 3lbs range. My only complaints are the stock sights, the finish, and the magazine. The sights are just plain 3 dot white sights. The finish scuffs fairly easily.. But I mean cmon, this gun is meant to be used! And the magazines both messed up at the 100rd mark (magazine lips bent outward). My suggestion is throw away the stock magazines and buy some Wilson combat or Chip McCormick mags.

I was in the market for a 1911 but i didn't want to spend over a thousand bucks on one. i saw this one and having bought a used magnum research baby eagle full size in 9mm and having absolutely no problems with it i decided to pick this 1911 up. in short, this is definitely a keeper. it has very good fit and finish and shoots exceptionally well, and being under a $1000 has me well more than sold on it. I'd by another one in a heartbeat. wiped it down and oiled it up and took it out the next day fired 600 rounds of various ammo's (CCI, Fiocchi, Winchester and some steel case Wolf) no problems what so ever.

The gun looks good and shoots better. I was expecting wood grips like it said in the description but I got g10 instead. It’s not a big deal to me though. Being a matte black gun, not blued, it was marred a little. This definitely is a shooter and not a safe queen by any means. I’ve put about 200 rounds down range over a day and they all went flawlessly from factory mags. This is my first 1911 and I’m impressed especially at the price point. Mine also came with white dot sights, unlike the plain black ones shown. The roll mark is also significantly smaller and in a different font. Overall it’s a 4/5 stars because of the finish issue. I would recommend this gun to anyone who wants a good 1911 at a fair price.

Great gun, the factory mags are not. I will be purchasing replacement mags (McCormick) from buds though. I wish I could attach images of my customizations!

I love this 1911! Once again I got the best price anywhere I could find here at Bud's. This sucker is accurate and reliable with everything I have run through it. I usually like to modify/customize my firearms but the only thing I have done with this one is to get some different grips. This pistol is perfect as is! Great trigger for a production 1911, a lot nicer than some of the custom 1911's I have shot. Thanks Bud's!

I receive my G from my FFL 9/28. I was pleasantly surprised. I bought the blue version. It came the gray G-10 grips instead of the wood pictured on it but most of all the billboard on the slide was still there but MUCH smaller and less noticeable. Way to go MRI. I've only put a couple magazines through the weapon, flawlessly I might add. Buds was a good experience again. Sometimes it mat take a while for electronic checks to clear but hey, whatever still a good experience. This is my second purchase from Buds. Big shout out to Mr Parker, Sharpsburg Ga my FFL, Super nice man.

After buying the Magnum Research 1911 G, I could not be happier with the results that I have had. The price is cheap, but the quality is top of the line in my experience. The process was smooth and time effective. They have a wide range of trusted FFL Dealers around my area which made it incredibly convenient no matter where I was in my state. The picture was different then the product that I received, in the sense that the grips were completely different (made my experience better). I was more than relieved to find out because I had already made plans to switch them, so be aware of the writing below each picture. After receiving the firearm at my specified location, I was able to inspect it and decide whether or not I liked the condition in which it was shipped and kept to standards with how they advertised it. The gun was rust and gunk free. Solidly built with not rattle. There was not an excessive amount of lubrication on it (which is a pet peeve of mine), and most importantly the gun was virtually spotless. After test firing, I had found everything was in order. My only complaint is how amazing the deals are on their site, making it a true enemy of my wallet. Zero jamming issues. Handled the cleanest and the dirtiest rounds with ease. Trigger was crisp with each pull and the grips were exceptional with the recoil. BudsGunShop is hands down the best prices I have ever come across. The process is simple and quick. The customer service is friendly and answers all of your questions. Couldn't be happier on the quality of my gun and you have gained a loyal customer.

Wanted to give some time before writing a review. Owned this thing for over 5 years now and it shoots great and is very accurate. I hand load...this gun will cycle through semi-wadcutter like it round nose bullet. With its throated barrel, I never experience any jams. The trigger is crisp and the grips fits my hand nicely. The quality of this gun is as good or better than my father in-law's colt 1911. The only thing that can improve is the sight...its iron sight with no color. However, a simple nail paint (whatever color you desire) works great on the front sight. For the price...the guns gives you a lot. Great gun, great price.

This is the second MR DE1911 that I have owned, the first was sold to a friend. I've owned a few 1911's and this MR 1911G is my favorite. Nice fit and finish and the accuracy is superb. Unless you want a show case queen, the 1911G is as good as it gets. Bud's has always come through for me with good prices and great service.

Very pleased with this purchase. Top of the line craftsmanship and flawless operation. Couldn't ask for a finer product. Buds was quick to contact me regarding a minor issue and product arrived at the stated time with no problems. Looking to buy again. Thank you Buds!
