Ok guys, after thinking about it for a few more days, web research, shopping around at my LGS, and handling some other 1911's
I went back to the store where i first saw it, I asked about the price and he said he would work with me at >$800 , <$900 not the $1,200 I had originally stated
*Newb Alert!!!*
(I dont know the model specifics of the kimber and springfield....
)
Of all the guns I handled It was pretty close to the top as far as fit and finish, I saw one Springfield armory that was beautiful for about the same price in blued steel and a Kimber for about $1,200 that was very nice as well, the only thing I didn't like about the Remmington compared to the other two was the trigger, it was kinda wobbly on the R1, but nice and tight with the other two.
The sights on the other two guns were trijicon night sights, which seemed a little more robust for CC than the fiber optic red dot on the R1.
The grips on the Springfield were wood with double diamonds and logo, they were beautiful and felt extremely comfortable, it was very pleasant to hold compared to the Remmington grips which felt very aggressive, but thats a simple fix
So I made up my mind for the moment, (I guess when I have all the $$$ together Ill shop around a bit more for good measure
) on the Remmingrton R1 enhanced SS...
