I see that Remington has announced a new product - the 1911 R1. And MSRP is only $699?
This is coming from somebody with no in-depth 1911 knowledge, but I've been considering getting an entry level 1911 for some time.
Does anybody know anything about this product? The MSRP nearly puts it in the same range as RIA 1911s. Are these legit 1911s, or are they bastardized as some of the manufacturers' (Para, STI) 1911s are? Not to say that there's anything wrong with "bastardized" 1911s, but are the parts interchangeable and such? What about quality?
In short, I'm interested in knowing how this stacks up against some of the standard "entry-level" 1911s like the SA GI and Mil-Spec and some of the S&W 1911s.
