My Remington 1911 R1S was not built by the typewriter company, it needed the feed ramp polished and after that was done she purred like a kitten.
This was won on a 5 dollar ticket at a gun bash to help raise money for a local volunteer fire company. |

I have a Remington Rand slide on an Essex frame 1911a1.

I wouldn't pay $2k for a RR 1911, BUT that's only because I can't currently part with that kinda cash (still rebuilding after hurricane Sally and insurance has been ... disappointing). That said, though, I'd love to have one. The dept I retired from got several 1911s from the Army via their DRMO program and I got issued one, Remington-Rand right when my normal duty pistol (H&K USP) started having problems. I toted that gun for a couple years as my duty pistol, only stopping when we had to carry only the issued pistol (SIG). I hated turning that gun in when I retired.

Well be danged that $500 RR did all the big boy did and stayed right up with it and Hitchcock was impressed. Not selecting RR that is just what he used for his shoot test. Hell my Chinese Norinco I got many moons ago for around $300 I am still trying to find something wrong with it or that I do not like. So I guess I am saying price tag be damned. If its a shooter all around functions well then guys are going to want one without looking at that $$ tag.

I was at the same Fun Shop last Sunday. The same pistol (I spoke of earlier in this thread), was STILL in the display case. |
