(GunReports.com) — After nearly a century, Remington will once again manufacture one of America’s most revered handguns; the 1911. Deliveries begin June 2010.
Features include double diamond grips, polished aluminum trigger, flared and lowered ejection port; beveled magazine well; loaded chamber indicator; high profile dovetailed single-dot front and two-dot rear sights; a crisp 3.5 – 5 pound trigger pull; and a match grade stainless steel barrel and barrel bushing. It also has the Series 80-style firing pin block safety.
The Remington 1911 R1 is hand-built and shipped from Ilion, New York with a custom carry case, two seven-round magazines and a barrel bushing wrench.
