Remington 1911 R1 Ultralight Commander Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Great Price

I bought this pistol on black Friday, for $600. It was a nice pistol till it started to jam on me 3 months later. I called Remington and they ask the usual questions after replying to the question they ask for me to ship it to them. They sent it back work

Great 1911

I have both the GI model and the Enhanced and have never had any time of failure with either one. Got both at a great price. Would recommend both of them.

I love it.

This was my first new 1911. I have a couple Glocks, and an AMT Hardballer Longslide that's sloppy but shoots great. I researched a lot of 1911s and had picked out 3 candidates, R1, Kimber and Ruger. I went to Cabela's and checked the slide to frame fit an

Easy step up

I'm 65 years old and new to handguns. In the past 5 years I have acquired (in order) a Browning Benchmark .22, a Springfield XD-S 9mm, a Bond Arms derringer .45 colt/ .410, and .45 ACP barrels (both 3 1/2"), and a Ruger LCP .380 Custom. The 1911 has

It even makes an average shooter look good

I have now fired two R1's. I'm a long ways from being a good hand gun shooter. None-the-less, resting the butt of the pistol on a handbag, I can tear a ragged hole in the center of the bull at ten yards. The fixed sights are adjusted perfectly for a cente

The Enhanced mode disappointed me

In the past Saturday, I went to my Cabela's store to pick up my online order of Remington 1911 R1 Enhanced. I was surprised and disappointed when the store staff brought it to me. It's a cardboard box! It used to be a green molded plastic box based on wha

Great product

Cabelas in Dundee Michigan is my outdoor store. As to my recent purchase I bought a Remington R1 1911 45 caliber ACP. I fired it for the first time yesterday and put 80 rounds through it with out a hitch. The weapon is extremely accurate right out of the

precison accuracy

buy it. if you are a shooter, like hand guns you will be happy.

'Murica

Great 1911. If you are label obsessed: buy a Kimber, Wilson or SIG. If just a shooter, man 1911s are sweet. Expectations were for a smooth firing and accurate .45 ACP. These were met at an astronomically low price. Not made in Vietnam. Not a Bud's deal of

Solid Value!

The R1 is a classic 1911, in all respects. I've yet to see a hiccup in 500 + rounds. I did have to make a minor rear sight adjustment out of the box, but that's a mere footnote in the wake of its reliable performance. The black oxide finish is high-qualit

Great 1911 Value

A gorgeous, well engineered pistol with features not normally seen on a full size 1911 for under $1,000. A 3.5 to 5lb (mine is 4lb) trigger out of the box which makes for smooth and accurate shooting. Easy to break down and maintain. In fact, with the cor

Love this gun

Finally got a 1911 and the price with the rebate made this purchase even sweeter, gun shoots awesome, The R1 is a great gun!

R1 carry commander and r1 ss

I have one of each. The stainless model is a basic 1911 shoots very well, no frills but a great shooter. My carry commander is a beautiful pistol, That said, after about 2 years is not as tight as it once was. It actually rattles which surprised me. It ca

Trying to be my favorite hand gun.

This 1911 is amazing! I bought the matte stainless model because it looks like the one I carried in the Navy in the 70s. Very accurate and I can even hit the gong consistently with my off hand. I highly recommend this product

Remington 1911 R1S

Awesome...shot over 1,000+ rounds of various brands of ammo with zero issues. Extremely smooth to shoot. Actually took my CHL test with the Remington 1911 R1S over the other 15+ Pistols of all calibers we own.

Excellent!

Absolutely an exceptional gun!! More than pleased. The extra bonus of the refund check was nice...received mine...need a few extra magazines now.Sweet gun.

Great Gun/ dont count on getting rebate

First class entry level 1911. Very accurate and qualityworkmanship. Two months later my $75.00 rebatehas not shown up. Don'tcount on geting yours

R1 Carry - Excellent value!

The Remington R1 Carry exceeded my expectations.I especially like the "melted" treatment given to the metal surfaces and the light/crisp trigger. I also own other "premium" semi-autos, some customized but none shoot as well as this one

Good but not great....

I bought this several years ago when Ruger's 1911 was on backorder. In retrospect, I wish I had waited to pay a little more for a stainless steel gun with more features. The Remington 1911, while a reliable gun, is expensive in my opinion for what you get

Good gun some problems

From the UK but my daughter lives in the USA, she bought me the gun last year to use when I visit. Out of the box the 1911 is very well made and was accurate to an extent I have not seen in other pistols I have shot. I have the same problem though as one

Glad I selected American over Brazillian

My wife and I discussed for some time for a home defense weapon. We have been looking at Taurus and when BP had their big pre Black Friday Sale. We saw the Taurus on sale but the American made Remington also in the ad. So I decided to look into the Reming

Great Purchase

Is my first 1911. Have a S&W .40 and it doesn't even compare to the 1911. Fell in love with it after the first clip. The grouping was excellent. The trigger pull was very easy, which didn't make me pull her offline. The recovery from recoil was wonder

amazing gun

bought this weapon and cant be happier, fifty rounds dead center you aim and it hits right there accuracy is amazing and the best group I have ever shot out of any gun, Remington hit it out of the ball park on this one great gun, light weight, very little

Very Happy

Remington 1911 R1 Enhanced 45 ACP: The first 15 rounds, free standing, 8 in the black the other 7 tight at about 7:30 position and all scoring points. Target at 30 feet. We shot about 175 rounds. My XD-m 45 ACP has not produced these results.I am very ple

Smoothest Handgun I've researched

I've been researching buying a handgun for quite some time now. I have been wanting either a Sig Sauer or Glock, until the sales associate at Cabelas let me hold the Remington R1 Enhanced 45. The quality of this gun is way better than the other pistols I'

A great first 911

i just purchased this pistol.if anyone is buying their ist 1911 this is it. i own 3 others but this one tops them all. great trigger pull and although it has fixed sights the white dots on them are very pronounced. very accurate. shot very good groups at

Great Reviews All The Way Around

I did a lot of reading and looking before making this purchase. Being my first 1911, the Enhanced has many features that make it well worth the money. Remington is well known for many reasons, this is another perfect example.

1 of the best 1911's

This is a truly tough gun. I carry it everyday in a nylon belt holster on my side. Been through brush while hunting. Was under water for almost 4 hours on a canoe trip when I got caught up on a log jam and lost the boat. Out of curiosity, I shot a full ma

1911R1 is Excellent!

The first thing that attracted me to this gun was its simplistic and classic styling. When I found out the price I was that much more interested in buying it, and I'm really glad I did. The fit and finish of the gun is beautiful, and it shoots very well r

Failure to feed

I purchased a Remington 1911 R1 a few days ago, after months of research. I can say it was a great value and I am glad to have it in my collection. However I am very disappointed in the magazines. They failed to properly feed every time on the last two ro

Ok for the money

I got this particular model like 2 year's a go, they didn't had the stainless model, at least I didn't see it in display.Gun look and feel really nice especially compared with other higher priced brands, it shoot pretty accurate from the box, now in my pa

I love this 1911

I went to Cabela's to buy the Ruger SR1911, but settled for the Remington 1911 R1 because they were out of the Ruger. Now I'm glad they were. I love this pistol. It cycles smoothly and shoots great. The slide racks easily; some of the others I looked at t

Nice 1911

I purchased this R1 after researching all the different 1911's. I decided to purchase the Rem R1 and after shooting it, I had no regrets. The handling of the R1 was surprisingly smooth from the action of the slide, to the trigger pull. It was like butter!

Great Gun

This has to be one of the best 1911s available for the money. I have about 1000 rounds through mine and have not had any malfunctions. It is very accurate and has wonderful fit and finish. The only complaint is that the factory magazines are garbage. If y

Great handgun, love it!

I read the reviews and talked to the salesman about this gun before I bought it. I am very happy with it. I haven't fired a handgun in many years. I bought the gun, cleaned it, and went to the range. I fired 100 rounds with Zero failure to load, fire, or

Great Gun, Great Price

I bought the R1 Enhanced 2 months ago, fired a few hundred rounds through it and have had nothing but awesome experiences with it....hands down the best handgun I've ever shot. I'd recommend this gun to anyone.

Ol' Reliable!

I have only shot this on one trip to the range, but I love it! Accurate and with all the reliability I expect from a 1911. Lots of fun to shoot. My wife even loves shooting it, and today was the first time she ever shot a handgun.

My 1911 Remington R1 .45

I went to Cabela's to buy a gun for my wife- and, I must admit, for myself also. I carried a .45 in a shoulder holster for years when I was a tanker in the Army so naturally I started looking at the .45's - everything from a Sig to a Kimber.The 2nd one I

great pistol

about 200 rounds so far, not one hiccup.. Bass Pro did not have the stainless version, the R1S, so i bought one that my LGS had in stock.

Gunstig

That is the Gernan word for good quality at a good price. I put a couple hundred rounds through on my first range trip with my new R1 - tight groups, no issues shooting 3 brands of ammo. Goes bang very time you pull the trigger, and is nice to look at als

You won't be sorry

I carried a 1911 as my primary weapon during my service with the Army. I bought this .45 and it feels the same. I opted for the stainless version and it is a handsome pistol. It is dead accurate at 50 yards or less and has yet to miss fire. High quality,

great shooter

I traded a Beretta 92FS in on mine. I have the stainless 5.5" barrel. I love it as it fits my hands and is more comfortable than the Beretta to hold and shoot. I also like the .45 stopping power better than 9 mm, one tap as compared to three with the

Great gun, great deal

I have been wanting a 1911 for a while and thought I would check out the new Ruger that is selling like hotcakes. Unfortunately, because it is selling like hotcakes it is hard to find. My friend showed me an add for the Remington which is in the same ball

Fantastic

I have put over 500 rounds through this gun in a few days. It's very easy to clean and no problems with the extended clips. I was hitting targets 25-40 yards easy every time. This is a great home defense weapon with enough stopping power to keep anyone sa

Remington 1911

I have had mine for 5 months. I have fired about 700 rounds with it without any issues. I would consider the workmanship to be excellent. Its tight yet operates smoothly. great fit and finish. Affordable and a good value.I would definitely recommend this

Remington 1911 R1

I've owned other 1911s but I really like this one. From the look to every function this gun seems to be flawless. Not one complaint. Has fed every shell I've tried FMJ and HP without a single problem. If you're in the market for a 1911 this is the one you

100 years and still the best

i love my 1911 this by far is the best handgun i have ever used with the .45 it carries quite a punch but also has amazing accuracy the gun is extremely easy to use has fantastic sights and can be field stripped/cleaned in a flash. even at over 100 years

Excellent bang for the buck

Great price, smooth action, out of the box accurate. The best hand gun purchase I've made this year.

Top Notch 1911 Model Handgun from Remington

I was looking for a GI style 1911 made by one of the original manufacturers from WW-1 and stumbled upon the Remington 1911r1. Remington did an outstanding job with this handgun with a few modern updates and precision machine work. It is tight and smooth w

smooth and sweet

This is by far the nicesest hand gun I've ever owned. I have shot the old colts in the military ( partial to the 1911 for this reason# and the improvements on this modle is awsome. The triger pull is smooth and steady.Rear and front sights are on at 30 ya

Excellent 1911

Bought mine approx 3 weeks ago and round count is up to 600 rounds with nary a hiccup. For the money this is the best 1911 I have come acrossed. Shoots on par with my Kimber and Springfield both of which have had custom work.

Remington 1911R1 is an A1 45

I carried a 45 in the Marines (Nam and afterwards) and fell in love with it. I finally decided to buy this 1911R1 after 3 months of researching, handling and shooting several friend's 45s. This 1911R1 most closely relates to what I remember I carried and

SASS Wild Bunch

Looking to shoot in the Wild Bunch category of SASS. Simple easy to hold and shoot. I even shoot 200gr SWC lead bullets with no problem. The trigger pull is my only complaint. Takes a little longer pull before it breaks compared to others.
