PRE-2011 1911
After almost a century, the Model 1911
R1 marks the Remington brand’s return
to the manufacture of the legendary 1911
handgun. The Remington-branded 1911 R1
is an A1 variant of the 1911 with modern
upgrades. Like the original 1911, the 1911 R1
has a flat mainspring housing, short trigger, and
double diamond grips. 1911 devotees will appreciate the modern enhancements
on the 1911 R1, such as a 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 lb. trigger pull; and a match grade stainless steel barrel and
barrel bushing.
The 1911 is the most customized and proven pistol design ever manufactured. This single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated handgun chambered for the 45 ACP cartridge
has left its mark on battlefields and at competitions all over the world. www.remington.com
