I bought two of these beauties in 2011 and I can tell you they are more than worth the purchase price. I would compare the R1 to any Colt or Kimber 1911 45ACP, love the trigger and the dovetail sights front and rear. After 10 years of use the Remington R1 is reliable and accurate, my only complaint would be it could have come with a better coating and a silicon grip.

Very good gun, I couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with a 45 so I sold it at a great loss, my bad

I have been a Remington Arms fan and user for almost 40 years. I finally procured the 1911R1 45ACP and hands down this is a fantastic pistol. Great price and after several thousand rounds, not mishaps or malfunctions. I am not one to tinker with the design and I use it as it is meant to be right out of the box. I definitely recommend this pistol if you are on a budget but don't let the price fool you. It is a very good piece of machinery.

This 1911 R1 is by far the best firearm I have had. It tops the cake for me being a recent 9mm owner this 45acp beats that. Smooth recoil and accurate. Bought a muzzle break for it and even better

Cost effective 1911a1 copy which you won't cry about dinging, if you do, you can get another from Buds-fast! Shoots as good as my Colts................

Great looking gun very happy! First 200 rounds or so I was having issues with the last bullet in the magazine not feeding all the way. I just associated that with a “break-in” period. 100 rounds later I haven’t had any issues (knock on wood). Overall very pleased. Got the firearm very quickly too!

A great gun for a good price. It lets me shoot 1" groups at 15 yards about 1" below the center of the target. The trigger works very smooth. I would definitely buy it again.

I'm a big fan of the 1911 model gun. The feel is very comfortable and I have better control with this gun than any other I have tried on the range. The Remington matches up with this quite well. It feels great in my hand. This model is sturdy and accurate. I'm quite happy that it's a .45 caliber gun as well. It has the perfect kick for me.
For some reason when I first went to the range with it, the last bullet will discharge from the clip instead of going into the chamber. I've cleaned the gun since then, so I hope that will take care of it. That is why I only gave it four stars. I will give it 5 stars if this issue is resolved the next time I take it out.

Excellent. I made the right purchase, and Buds got this guy to my FFL in 2 days.

Fresh out of the box I experienced failure to feed from both of the included magazines. With a Kimber 8 round magazine 3 of 8 failed to feed. I polished and lubed the ramp, and will try different ammo, but will not have a chance for a week to see if that is a fix. Very disappointing so far. The jury is still out.

Beautiful pistol! Too bad it jams with a full magazine. Disappointed with Remington quality here. I figure it might feed better after several more rounds l hope.

Great firearm for the price. This was my first 45 caliber hand gun and it was everything I'd hoped it would be. I've owned a variety of 9mm and 40 caliber semiautomatic hand guns. I believe this Remington 1911 R1 to be my new favorite. The gun is very solid, I expected a lot more recoil but actually found it very manageable and easy to rebound back to point of aim. I was really impressed with the trigger pull length, with the shorter pull it gave less room for operater error. I fired 150-175 rounds of a mix of 3 different brands of ammunition on a below freezing michigan day the first time I fired it. And it still performed great. Best out of the box accuracy I've experienced. I had read before purchasing this gun that people had trouble with the stock magazines. I marked one that gave me trouble a couple times but the temperature could have been a variable. So I am not 100% sure if i have run into the same problem or not yet. I plan on getting extra magazines anyways so this has not been a deterrent to me. I stand by the quality and dependability of Remington firearms, I own a variety of shotguns and rifles from them and they have never let me down and this 1911 is no exception. I definitely recommend this firearm. Also want to give a shout out to Bud' s for a quick and easy transfer! Plan on making more purchases from them!

very nice weapon-buds handled everything well.

Just unboxed this pistol. I was more than impressed (blown away) with the fit and finish. Absolute perfection! No machine markings anywhere. You would be very hard pressed to find a 1911 built with the standards of this one without spending a lot more. Absolutely beautiful gun and cant wait to let 'er rip! This is my seventh gun from buds and service is always perfect with fast delivery every time.

When I opened the case on this 1911 at the FFl I was more than pleased. This Remington was beautiful in fit and finish. The slide is tight with no movement and the wood grips are excellent. This gun felt good in the hand and had a nice balance. The three dot sights were an improvement over the one I carried in the service. Buds service was perfect as usual with no problems and great prices.

I ORDERED THIS REMINGTON R1 1911 ONE MORNING AND RECIEVED IT THE NEXT DAY. VERY GOOD SERVICE. THIS REMINGTON IS EVERYTHING BUDS SAID IT WAS AND MORE. I AM WELL SATISFIED WITH THE REMINGTON AND THE SERVICE OF BUDS GUN SHOP.

Well, after reading reviews on countless 1911s, I opted for the Remington R1. After getting it out to the range today, I'm confident I couldn't have made a better choice. Put over a hundred rounds using the supplied and some 8 shot Mec Gar mags with zero FTF or FTE. Not one issue with fit or finish. Accuracy was spot on. By far the most accurate firearm I've ever had right out of the box. Thanks to Bud's for the outstanding value and to Remington for their pride of workmanship. I look forward to my next purchase!!

Not my first R1. I have had the standard, enhanced and stainless models and for some unknown reason traded or sold them. This one I am going to keep. The Remington R1 is in a class up there with Colt and Kimbers. Out of the box no failures and actually target ready. Well balanced, and, being a 1911, just fits right.

This is the 3rd Remington R1 In my collection. Quality piece! There is NO REASON to spend over a thousand bucks for the Kimbers and Sig's out there. Besides, a Kimber or Sig "1911" with a picatinny rai is not a 1911, its a heavy glock. This Rem is a true 1911... These Rems are built tight and shoot straight. If you want a real 1911 with the classic looks and feel, look no further than Remington. As far as Buds goes... Getting the gun shipped was just a bit slow, but not too bad. I will be buying from Buds again! Thank You!

I looked at several 1911's before making a decision to buy. I was looking for the "Most gun for the money". I just received a few days ago and was not disappointed. I haven't fired it yet but fit and finish are great and the function check was good. Hope to take it to the range this weekend. I would recommend it others.
