Yeah, Money well spent, over $650, but shoots like it cost a lot more. At the time the Enhance R1 was a lot more money, and totally not worth the upgrades. This R1 shot like a champ, very accurate, probably more accurate than I can shoot, I haven't found a favorite load yet. I only shoot Wilson or C. McCormack mags in it. No problems but maybe 1 round in the first mag out of 300 I shot.
Maybe I was the unlucky one to receive a Remington R1S that was thrown together by somebody hungover! This POS has been a nightmare since I've owned it. The term jamomatic comes to mind. Remington had it sent to a private company in Michigan to have it repaired. Came back with a report stating bad mags. Two new mags were shipped with the pistol back to my residence. Still chokes, not as bad but enough to not trust it. I have cleaned and babied this thing to the point I am sick of messing with it. If anyone has one of these Remington 1911s that does not have any problems, Congratulations! Keep It!
