I bought an R1S, stainless steel, when they first came out. I haven't had any problems with it. No complaints, love the gun.
My R1 45ACP had all of the same issues you experienced. I polished the feed ramp and substituted for a 20lb recoil spring, and now it shoots like a dream. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the comment and glad to hear I wasn't the only one who had issues! Haha great fixes and thanks for the advise! 👍👍
Thanks for your post. I've had my Remington 1911 R1 Enhanced in 45 ACP for a couple of years. I'm very pleased with it. Mine holds 8+1 rounds.
Awesome to hear! And thanks for the comment!🙌
Remington does make a decent factory grade 1911. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! 🙏🙏
Great review!
Welcome to the 1911 family.
The best test for a new M1911 is to shake it. If it rattles, it will run just fine.
The next test is to rack the slide on an empty magazine. If the slide does not lock, discard the magazine.
The only M1911 I own that does not work is an heirloom Colt Lightweight Commander Model of 1950.
It survived a barracks fire in Korea and was dug out of the ashes.
Can't blame Colt for that!
Wow that's awesome! And thanks for the advise and comment! 🙏🙏🙏
This is a really good review of the R1. I bought the stainless one not too long after Remington started making 1911s again. Since then I've worked my way up the 1911 ladder to more expensive ones, but I still have the stainless R1 and love shooting it any chance I get.
Get you some Wilson combat mags for it I had trouble with my factory mags with mine. And that gun shoots as good as any other 1911 on the market.
Good tip thanks for the comment!🙌
B y the way, nice job on the video, clear, concise and no BS.
Appreciate the comment and support!🙏
Love my R1. Nothing upgraded, but changed the grip panels. I just made my furthest shot on target at 60 yards 2 days ago. Never have a problem. Outshoots my buddies SIG all day sadly.
I had similar problems up to 400 rounds. Then I sent it to Remington for their "Platinum Service" (included with the gun - send it to the factory within the first 12 months after purchase, with any complaints - they paid freight both ways) and got back a completely tuned gun. It is remarkably accurate and I stopped counting after 3500 rounds with not a single malfunction after it was returned. It may not be the most expensive but I doubt any are more accurate. Happy camper.
Wow that’s awesome to hear! I should have sent mine in too lol it’s like 4 years old now tho haha
Good Honest Vid!... right out of the box its was a great purchase at the first intro with a 100 dollar rebate,I haven't experienced any stove piping or Failures considering I use the same in stainless for training purposes, and you know how beginners can FJB things
I've had one for years now... No problems... Very good regular 1911
Awesome to hear!!🙌🙌
I enjoyed your video.
Thanks partner! 🙏🙏
Good job ❤
Switch the mags out. I had factory mags and had misfeeds. I put in Wilson Combats and never had an issue.
Ohh thanks for the tip!! I'll have to try that! 🙏🙏
I have the same pistol and had feeding issues until I replaced the recoil spring from 16lbs to an 18lbs spring. I went with a flat wire recoil spring instead of the traditional round wire spring and in an honesty say that the pistol shoots excellent now.
I much prefer this American made Remington than the Philippines rock Island
Oh wow thanks for the heads up! I’m tight have to change my recoil spring out as well now! Thanks for the comment🙏🙏
I have 2, one is stainless, the other is blue, bought both new. I had one jam on the 1st or 2nd magazine with the stainless, no jams on the blue. Had the loose screw issue, fixed with blue locktite. They are a joy to shoot but I would recommend the stainless because of the rust issue with the blue. I would get the blue one parkerized if I knew of someone who does that work.
Yes simple fixes!! And a great gun!!🙌
I had the grips on my Colt 1911 come loose after shooting it the first time. Probably weren’t locktited like your gun wasn’t either. Lok grips sells O-rings that I used on some wood grips on a CZ. Haven’t come loose yet!
Thanks for the comment and great tip!!🙌🙌
@@1stShotTactical Update…those O-rings from Lok Grips won’t work on 1911’s only the CZ-75. There is another company that makes them for a 1911.
@@richrhocks oh sad! Haha thanks for the update!👍
You should have bought a beretta storm full size 9mm.G model 😊😊
I still think this is a good 1911, honestly I don’t have money to spend $2,000 on a 1911, their old but they are a piece of history
Fact right there! This is a great budget friendly 1911 that everyone can own👍
Wait when was this one manufactured?must have been before the big bankruptcy filing by Remington
😂😂😂😂
Weak ammo or weak wrist causes feeding problems. Never had a problem with my stainless R1.
Thanks for the heads up! And yeah it was just at the beginning I had those issues👍👍
👍👍😎✌️🤟
U must be new to 1911s.true 1911 dudes know the frist thing to do is upgrade to Willson combat 8rd and 10rd mags.
😂😂😂 Noted!! As I mentioned, I don't shoot this gun enough... I'll have to pick up some of those mags and try it out more! Thanks!
@@1stShotTactical ok
Whatever magazines work are fine.
Oh, another thing... I used to work on new machinery and I EXPECT a 200 to 300 break-in period with any handgun.
Because that's how metal on metal machines work...
🙌🙌🙌
That's not a de-cocker, you just initiated a fire sequence and would fire.
They are up in price 2024.not cheap any more
ผมมีกระบอกหนึ่งซื้อในโครงการปกครองเมื่อสิบกว่าปีที่แล้วสวยถูกใจมากยิงไม่เคยมีปัญหาอะไรเยี่ยมมากรักเขามาก
I got the 2012 turkey federation R1 and I cary it every day and love it I have other 1911s love them too but carry my Remington everywhere I go
Awesome to hear! It’s a great gun! Thanks for the comment🙏🙏
have remingston R1 1911 NEVER had your issues
It's a shame that Remington waited until 2010 to get into the 1911 business. They probably would have made millions of them
🙌🙌🙌
Believe it or not they were making 1911’s for the military back in 1918 but they stopped, they brought it back in 2010
@@jacobseraphin685 you are correct.
