Remington R1 Enhanced Threaded Barrel

Took my Remington R1 Enhanced Threaded Barrel to the range this morning. I put 350 rounds of blazer brass through it. I used only the 2 factory mags that it came with, and not a single FTF or FTE.

Supposed to run like that...Yes!!!

I have a 1942 Remington and it runs as well as any in the safe.

Great 1911 for the money, surprisingly accurate too.

You can't beat a 1911 my favorite pistol hands down. Great choice on brand too. Congrats!

I have the Remington R1 (not the enhanced) and I love it. Before manufacture of the R1 a few years ago, Remington hadn't made a handgun since the last time they made a run of 1911s in WWII, but I figured that they've known how to make guns for over 150 years, and they weren't going to risk a fail. Consequently, its well-made right out of the box. I like the basic R1, with its retro GI look, with some modern refinements.

The Remington of WWII is different than the Remington of today's 1911s. The Remington made today is the first one made by Remington since before WWI, not WWII. The Remington of WWII is Remington Rand, which built typewriters normally. I just picked up a Remington R-1S yesterday and ran 175 rounds through it yesterday afternoon. I also only used the stock magazines and the gun was flawless. The lockup is tight and the gun is quite accurate. I think this is a gun, like my CZ 75 Compact, that I will do my best to try to wear out. I'm guessing I'll fail in that attempt, but hopefully, I can run enough ammo through it to make a decent attempt. I've probably got 5000 rounds through my CZ and the gun feels fantastic being just butter smooth now. That's what I want to get this new Remington to be like. The best way there is to shoot the crap out of the gun.
