I have been shooting this pistol occasionally for the past two years now. Overall, I like the look and feel of the gun. It is very accurate and accepts almost any ammo that I use. It has been prone to extractor issues causing double feeds. I sent it back to the factory for warranty service last year. When it came back, it worked great for a couple of hundred rounds, but now is having problems with the spent rounds not ejecting clear of the gun, which I believe is the result of improper extractor tension. Since the gun is now off warranty, I am not sure weather I should send it back to Remington again at my expense or have a gunsmith install a Wilson Combat extractor.

I purchased my R1s about a year ago and it's a good thing I didn't write my review then. I would have called this gun the biggest POS I've ever shot. I couldn't fire off even 10 rounds without an FTF. After some research I found out that the factory mags have the crappiest spring and follower set up on the market. I learned a thing or two about 'nosediving'. Tripp Research Cobra mags are said to be some of the best mags on the market. After buying 2 mag rebuild kits for $8 each I've never had another jamming issue since and I'm well over 2k rounds since then. Excellent quality otherwise. Internals are MIM parts but never had any problems out oh them while they were waiting their turn to be swapped with Wilson Combat bulletproof parts. All WC BP parts are exact fit and required absolutely no fitting. And I literally mean ALL parts (except the barrel and bushing). Not saying a barrel and bushing wouldn't fit, I just never changed mine because the barrel is already match grade fit and the bushing IS a match grade part. In the end I can now say I own a gun that I'm willing to put up against ANY Dan Wesson, Les Baer ect... and match them all in every category for thousands less than what they charge. I've got about $1500 altogether in this project. I technically now own a Wilson R1s. I couldn't be happier

As always Buds was great! These guns are well built and look great. I have only run about 50 rounds through mine (I bought 2 as a set) no FTF and no issues at all. The only weird thing is that one of them came with 2 blued magazines and the other one came with 2 stainless magazines-not an issue just strange since they were the exact same gun. The quality is fully packed into this gun.

The wood grip had a blemish. I took the 1911 home and gave it a good cleaning and it shined up really nice. After approximately 200 rounds through the gun I am pleased with the way it cycles, but not with the way it chambers on initial loading. More times than not when I "Rack" a round into the chamber it will jam, however after I fix that it will cycle all rounds w/o problem. I may need to polish the ramp going into barrel. Aside from this one issue, I absolutely love the 1911. Feels amazing, trigger pull is spectacular, and control is fantastic. For the price of the gun I would recommend to anyone looking for a medium quality, medium priced 1911.

By far one of my favorite guns. I have put a varying diet of 45acp rounds through it and never been dissapointed. I have had no problems with this gun ever including no issues with hollow point jams like my buddy has with his other brand 1911. I highly reccomend this to anyone interested in a timeless example of beauty.

MY NEW FAVORITE!!! I've always wanted a 1911 and I eventually narrowed my choices down to either the Ruger SR1911 or the Remington 1911 R1. I'm glad I decided to go with the Remington (not that the Ruger would have been a bad choice either) because this gun is everything I wanted it to be and then some. The stainless steel finish was a nice change from all of my black guns and goes well with my newly installed (black) hogue rubber grips. So far I have put 200 rounds through it with only 3-4 FTF. Right out of the box I was shooting it just as accurately as I shoot with my 9mm Glock 17 (my first handgun). The shipping/transaction went very smoothly and I've since persuaded a buddy to get one as well (he went with the 1911 R1 Enhanced model, also an extremely nice gun for the $). All in all I would say that if you are looking at this gun to purchase...just buy it, you won't regret it. Thanks Buds...I'll be back.
