I picked up my Remington 1911 R1 from Gander Mountain at about 9:30 AM and went straight to their indoor Livefire range. I put about about 78 rounds of WWB 230 grain Ball through it. No problems, no FTF, FTE, was great.
I forgot my phone, couldn't take pictures of my targets. But, believe me, I am better with the 1911 than the XDM.
Only problem I had was cleaning it. Guess the .45's in the Army were so "well" worn, that the assembly/disassembly was very easy. This 1911 R1 was very hard to get apart and back together, everything fits so tightly! But that is a good thing. All in all, I will have pictures the next time I go to the range.
Forgot...I have the "base" R1, with the fixed sights. Those sights are HUGE! Really like them.
