Range Report!!!!!

Picked up a Remington R1 GI 1911 yesterday at LGS. Went to the range this morning and put 50 230 gr fmj through it. That’s all the ammo I had for it. The R1 ran perfectly. These are really good mid-range price point 1911 pistols.

The wind was blowing so hard this morning they cancelled the IDPA match, so I had the place to myself. That was good.

Anyway, if anyone is looking for a 1911 I would recommend the Remington for sure.

I got a Remington R1 1911 about two months ago but not have had chance to shoot. Mine came with two 7 round mags and the guy I bought if from says Colt 7 round mags will work also. I have a bunch Colt mags.
