Anybody have any reviews for the Remington R1? Thinking of buying one soon, I like Remington but was wondering if I should go with Springfield? Looking to spend around $600 if there's a better option.

I aint gonna spend my money on one yet..till I hear more...got a feeling they are foreign made, just farmed out.

springfield is my go to gun but ive been looking at the r1 seems to be well made but not sure how dependable and well made it really is

They get very good reviews in the 1911 section of Glocktalk. I am very impresses with that part of the forum. A lot of very experienced 1911 guys there.

Nice review in the Feb American Rifleman. Suggested retail $699. Nice big three dot sights, good quality barrel, consistent lock up between barrel and slide gave 2" 25 yd groups. All steel 5" .45 auto. Good lookin pistol.

I have not fired one, but picked one up at academy the other day and it was very impressive. Felt heavy and tight! I bet they shoot good! Let us know if you get one!

I'm gonna buy some parts for my build then buy a pistol, I've never held 1911 so I don't know how they feel but man I love the way they look! I like the price of the Remington too.
