Detailed Review
The Remington 1911 R1 Ultralight Commander is a lightweight and compact version of the iconic M1911 pistol. It is designed for concealed carry and personal defense, with features that enhance its reliability, accuracy, and usability.
The Ultralight Commander has a forged aluminum frame and a carbon steel slide, which reduces its weight without sacrificing strength and durability. The frame has been machined with precision to accommodate an ergonomic grip, a beavertail safety, and a skeletonized trigger, all of which contribute to a comfortable and intuitive shooting experience.
The slide has a black oxide finish and front and rear serrations, which aid in its manipulation and sight acquisition. The sights themselves are Novak-style, with a white dot front sight and a low-profile rear sight, both of which are dovetailed and replaceable. This allows for quick and precise aiming, even in low-light conditions.
The barrel of the Ultralight Commander is 4.25 inches long and made of stainless steel, which ensures consistent and accurate shots. The barrel is also ramped, which improves feeding and ejection of cartridges, and coated with a PVD finish, which enhances its resistance to wear and corrosion.
The trigger of the Ultralight Commander has a crisp and clean break, with a pull weight of approximately 3.5-5 pounds. It is adjustable for overtravel and pre-travel, which allows for customization to the shooter's preference. The trigger also has a lightweight aluminum shoe, which reduces its overall weight and contributes to a faster reset.
The safety system of the Ultralight Commander is composed of a thumb safety and a grip safety, both of which must be engaged to operate the pistol. This ensures maximum safety and prevents accidental discharge, while allowing for easy and natural engagement of the controls.
The magazine of the Ultralight Commander has a capacity of 8 rounds of .45 ACP ammunition, which provides ample firepower for defensive situations. The magazine itself is made of stainless steel and has a polymer baseplate, which facilitates smooth and reliable feeding and ejection of cartridges.
The overall dimensions of the Ultralight Commander are 7.5 inches in length, 5.5 inches in height, and 1.125 inches in width, which makes it compact and easy to conceal. Its unloaded weight is 29 ounces, which makes it lightweight and comfortable to carry. The pistol comes with two magazines, a cable lock, and a hard case.

Great Price
I bought this pistol on black Friday, for $600. It was a nice pistol till it started to jam on me 3 months later. I called Remington and they ask the usual questions after replying to the question they ask for me to ship it to them. They sent it back work

Great 1911
I have both the GI model and the Enhanced and have never had any time of failure with either one. Got both at a great price. Would recommend both of them.

I love it.
This was my first new 1911. I have a couple Glocks, and an AMT Hardballer Longslide that's sloppy but shoots great. I researched a lot of 1911s and had picked out 3 candidates, R1, Kimber and Ruger. I went to Cabela's and checked the slide to frame fit an

Easy step up
I'm 65 years old and new to handguns. In the past 5 years I have acquired (in order) a Browning Benchmark .22, a Springfield XD-S 9mm, a Bond Arms derringer .45 colt/ .410, and .45 ACP barrels (both 3 1/2"), and a Ruger LCP .380 Custom. The 1911 has

It even makes an average shooter look good
I have now fired two R1's. I'm a long ways from being a good hand gun shooter. None-the-less, resting the butt of the pistol on a handbag, I can tear a ragged hole in the center of the bull at ten yards. The fixed sights are adjusted perfectly for a cente

The Enhanced mode disappointed me
In the past Saturday, I went to my Cabela's store to pick up my online order of Remington 1911 R1 Enhanced. I was surprised and disappointed when the store staff brought it to me. It's a cardboard box! It used to be a green molded plastic box based on wha

Great 1911. If you are label obsessed: buy a Kimber, Wilson or SIG. If just a shooter, man 1911s are sweet. Expectations were for a smooth firing and accurate .45 ACP. These were met at an astronomically low price. Not made in Vietnam. Not a Bud's deal of

Solid Value!
The R1 is a classic 1911, in all respects. I've yet to see a hiccup in 500 + rounds. I did have to make a minor rear sight adjustment out of the box, but that's a mere footnote in the wake of its reliable performance. The black oxide finish is high-qualit

A gorgeous, well engineered pistol with features not normally seen on a full size 1911 for under $1,000. A 3.5 to 5lb (mine is 4lb) trigger out of the box which makes for smooth and accurate shooting. Easy to break down and maintain. In fact, with the cor
