FYI

Saw a Remington R1S (Stainless Steel) 1911 45ACP today, at
Runnings Farm (they have guns now).

I'm impressed, not only about the R1S, but my brother bought
a Rem R1 Blued 1911 45ACP last week, he wanted me to clean
it (his first 1911) because I am a gun enthusiust.

Both Pistols are made, I would say, almost better or better then the the Ruger SR1911.

I was impressed. I won't give my Ruger up, (actually have my second
coming tommorow) and a Rem R1S on order.

Man, now I can't wait for the Rem R1S, I asked Runnings if they
would consider trading, but a no go.

Auf Wiedersehen

NO !!!! NO WAY !!!!! Clearly you don't know that this is a RUGER forum and an opinion like that better NEVER be expressed. If all you want to do is bash RUGER ... why are you even here ??? How DARE you have an opinion that every RUGER product is not the absolute best at any price.

What ??? Is there no REMINGTON forum ????

Pretty soon you'll be hearing from RR, HE, RP, TW and a few others to tell you what your opinion should be ..... They'll also let you know what you should pay for every Ruger as well, and how much you should let each dealer make on you. You may even be ordered to write, call, or email Mike Fifer at RUGER to apologize for your blasphemy.

Hey thanks for your opinion.

I love it when I can get a raise out you Rev.

You are spouting off about only one part of the post.

Obviously you didn't comment/read about "getting my second Ruger SR1911".

Oh well you can't please all. Just my opinion.

I saw that NM !! My entire post was tongue-in-cheek !

The R1 has always been a very good gun. So is the SR1911.

Reading your previous stuff, I thought that's what you meant.

I'm glad you have an open mind is usual.

When you get the chance, check out the new Remingtion R1S
(Stainless Steel) 45 ACP. Let us know what you think.

Hopefully I can give a Field test soon. Oh, yea there's no
Other 1911 forum here, oops.

The sr1911 and the R1 are good values right now. Most comparable maybe all comparable pistols are over $1000.00.

Really just a preference over wich one you like. I wanted the more traditional look of the Remington R1, plus I liked the idea that Remington was one of the original manufacturers of 1911. Even though I know it is not the same factory or tooling or people working there now. I just thought it was neat.

If I wanted a stainless one I'd have a hard time choosing between the sr1911 and the stainless R1.

Keep us posted on how yours and your brothers hold up. Ed

I'm about 1911'd out right now. Still debating which 9MM 1911 to buy, and Centerfire systems has a RIA nickel 38 super on sale right now for $299. Been tempted by that just to check out the caliber. All my 1911's are Colts except for one Springfield. Hard to justify another 45.

Let us know how you like that R1S.

A 1911 in 9mm? I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
I also like the Remington R1 since I can't find a deal on a Ruger right now I've been tempted. Might still hold out for the Ruger though.

Would someone kindly hand me some paper towels for my keyboard!

Don't kick a "burning" dog?

I hear ya Rev. I've had that same debate with myself many times. And yeah, in my mind, a .38 Super realy does need to be nickled.
Thing is though, it always turns out that I'm just too dern practical to pull the trigger on one (no pun intended). I mean when you think about it, factory .38 Super ammo is high, new brass is high, used brass is almost non-existant and besides all that, other than the astronomicaly-high price of factory .38 Super ammo, there realy aint that much difference in it and 9MM+P.
Sooo....about 3 weeks ago, I ordered myself an Isreali milsurp, Belgium made Browning Hi Power from Coles Distributing. The one I picked was one of the somewhat-rare nickled plated guns and it came with a 13 Rd MecGar mag. Totaly disassembled it, cleaned everything, polished the nickle on the exterior surfaces, removed the mag safety, installed a new recoil spring, a new firing pin spring, then lubed and reassembled it. The next day one of my boys and I took turns shooting it while putting 300 rounds of Federal FMJ and 200 rounds of Remington 115-HPs through it. She never missed a lick with either load, shot to the POA with both, holds a tighter group than my Colt 1911A1, and balances better than a 1911 to boot.

Cost of the gun was $348 plus the transfer and the new springs was less than $20.
Beautifull gun, all forged steel, cheep to shoot, accurate, nice trigger, 100% reliable, slim, trim, and fits my hand like it was made for it.

Yeah, If I hada waited I coulda got one of them RIA-.38's for about $50 less. And yeah, handloading for it would widen the performance gap between it and mine.....but everything considered, I'd still take the Browning.

Just sayin' that there's more than one way to scratch an itch.

DGW

Nice find DGW !!! I reallly want a Springfield Loaded Match in 9MM but I'm too cheap to pay $800 for it. And forget finding one used. I've always loved the Brownings, but have never owned one.

Yours sounds like a good gun .... good luck with it.

Hey Rev, I got to shoot a Taurus .38 Super a while back at the local range and ....damn. It was Really nice shooting. Recoil was nil, accuracy was good.

I mentioned this to my brother and he pointed out that CDNN has a deal on Taurus 1911's in .38 Super. Luckily they are all decked out with Gold (or faux gold) controls and I think they look awful. Otherwise I might have been temped. The Last thing I really need is another boutique caliber.

But I am now a believer in 1911s in .35 Caliber, be it 9mm Luger or .38Super. That big ol' frame and slide really make a smaller cartridge feel like a .22lr

LOL !! Yeah ... I saw that hodeous Gold and Silver Taurus as well. Absolutely awful looking.

The RIA at $299 looks tempting though, although I really don't want another caliber either.
