A serious handgun for the 1911 fan! This handgun is for shooters who love that real 45 feel with precision and quality. Bud’s once again came through with amazing pricing and availability. Why go anywhere else? Great gun for a great price. Thanks Bud’s!!

I have a colt gold cup trophy, kimber national match and glock all 45 acp. This remington Rl will hold its own as equal against either of the two real l911's. the sights were dead on out of the box. Trigger pull on kimber series 70, yes a kimber series 70, maybe a hair lighter but many more rounds through it, I personally would never again pay the price difference for at most a 1/4 lb less trigger pull. For a person wanting a great and reasonably priced 45 acp 1911 all in the same weapon the remington R1 enhanced can't be beat. It accepted a variety of magazines and a verity of different ammo. Not a single mal-function or jam. The Swamper

Gun itself looks great. However, the grips are now a bit different and the trigger could have been fitted just a bit better.
The trigger is a little loose, but functionally fine. The grips now appear just black with a different grip pattern. Overall, still happy with the purchase...but I'll be buying new grips...and perhaps , eventually, a new trigger. To be fair, I probably would have done those things anyway; as ya do with 1911s.
As usual, Bud's CS was excellent with handling my order. Shipped very quickly, and there was a mixup with my first order that they
efficiently resolved. That said, they should update the product photo to represent it's current configuration.

This pistol was shipped pretty quickly. This is my 5th order from Buds and I will keep them coming. The pistol shoots great and the grips are very nice. I really love these grips they feel like they were made just for me. Came with two 8rd mags but I bought an extra 2 Wilson Combat mags 10rounders. I shot 150 rds straight out of the box and the R1 ate them all. I used 200gr and 230gr fmjs. My favorite purchase so far

This was my first handgun and I am incredibly satisfied with my purchase. Ergonomically, the R1 Enhanced feels great in the hand and is very easy to point. The red fiber optic at the front is easy to see, even in reasonably dim lighting (rainy day, in a dimly lit room, etc.). As for reliability, this handgun has performed flawlessly. I actually ended up dropping a round at the range and finding it on a later day. It had rained a bit and rust had begun to accumulate on the steel casing of the cartridge. It fed and fired with no issues. If you're looking for a nice, reliable 1911, you cannot go wrong here. I am also a first time Buyer buyer as well, and their service was flawless. My gun arrived at the dealer 3-4 days before I expected it to. I'll be returning to them for any other major firearms purchase I have.

I carried a standard .45 in military, this Remington R1 Enhanced is so much more accurate, shot placement at 25 yds inside the 9 circle with many bullseyes. Love the workmanship in it and its trigger. Very reliable firearm.

Excellent firearm. Was told to be worried about ejection issues and I believe I have had one out of about 100-200 shots through it.

Though Bud's was their typical best when it came to pricing and delivery of the Remington R1 enhanced that I bought, the weapon itself was a complete disappointment. The first thing I had to do was have the local gunsmith align the sights because they were incredibly out of whack. Anyone who shoots a lot like I do will understand me when I say I never felt comfortable with that weapon. It was a disappointment from the beginning. I had since sold it. I recommend buds but I do not recommend this weapon.

Nice gun. All the parts had to be filed sanded polished. Alot of burrs and machine marks. But for the price not bad. Also trigger so so. Im putting a new one in it. Alot of play in stock trigger. Id buy another one

First 1911 I have ever owned. For the price I can’t complain. Definitely easier to assemble and reassemble compared to my ruger and colts but it is also not as accurate. Have had no malfunctions with factory ammo, Buy yourself a colt or if that isn’t in your price range an SR1911 would be a better option. Terrible fit and finish. Had the gun in the mail to Remington two days after transfer because a bur on the frame that scraped the bluing off the slide.

My first 1911. A bit hesitant to buy at first but after so many research online, I finally decided to get it. Right off the box, the gun looks amazing and it doesn't look like it's less than $1000. The craftsmanship and quality is not too far from the ones worth $1000 - $2000 out there, and this is not an exaggeration. My son and I tried it at the range and put at least 200 rounds easy and it was just awesome. The feel when you hold it, squeeze the trigger and the recoil, is just right for us. But then again, this is my 1st 1911 pistol and so far, I love this one.

SKEPTICAL AT FIRST AFTER REMINGTON REINTRODUCED THE 1911 BUT I AM GLAD I TOOK THE CHANCE AND PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS. A FINE 1911 SHOOTS AND CYCLES GREAT AND LOVES CHIP MCCORMICK AFTER MARKET MAGS. BUDS WAS GREAT WITH SERVICE AND DELIVERY.

I wish I could carry this daily, just a little too bulky. As for performance, I've put about 500 rounds through this gun since new, and it has not failed once. It is extremely accurate, and has become a favorite of everyone at the range. Now I understand why so many rave about the 1911 platform, it's simply a joy to shoot. If you are looking for a great 1911, don't hesitate on this one, Remington hit the mark with this one.

Very good quality handgun. As far as the 1911 is concerned I think it's one of the best on the market. Bud's, as usual, did an excellent job at shipping. I couldn't be more happy with the whole transaction.

This is my third purchase from Bud's and like always the gun arrived on time (5 days including the weekend) and in perfect condition. The R1 Enhanced looks great and feels great in your hand. I have not had a chance to shoot it yet, but will do so soon. My only concern is that they're was no test fired round in the box this is my first Remington and so I don't no if Remington includes one or not.

This product from Remington far exceeded all my expectations. I was pleasantly surprised of the accuracy of this gun. It has really good sight that is very quick to locate and fire.the trigger is crisp and clean with no creep.. Rounds cycle very well and without any failures. In my opinion, this is a very good and dependable weapon at a bargain price from Bud's.
