One of my friends that comes into AAT a lot has one I've shot it a couple times. Not too bad for the money, its a base gun modeled after the original. No big beavertail no short hammer no extended anything. Just pure and simple as can be and can make as good a group as you can pull at 20 yards. Sights aren't pretty but they work, trigger needs a little refinement but breaks good compared to some. I'd buy one but if given a choice I'd grab a Ruger first SR19911 is a solid piece as well trigger is a little better. But I'd stilll get one.

The lady who runs the pawnshop in claremore has a stainless remington 1911, atleast thats what brand she told me it was.

I didn't think they made them in stainless but I'm not sure. I'd be cautious about that.

i have run across a few in stainless. They are out there!

These are indeed available in stainless and stainless w/ threaded barrel.

Remington has put out new versions. They have the new set of standard features. GI 1911s are long-obsolete, and just starting to fade away.

One of my buddies bought one earlier this year and it has been a great gun as long as we feed it ball ammo. We can't get it to feed more than two hollow points at a time. I'm sure there not all like that but we can't figure out what is wrong with his. He is suppose to be sending it back to Remington.
