Got her home this weekend. Man is she good looking. I will probably not get to shoot it until next weekend. But I am impressed with the fit and finish. I am not a 1911 guy, so I am not in a position to give a good review of tolerances.
I replaced the factory walnut grips with some buffalo horn grips. They look jet black until the light hits them right then they have streaks of gray and white. Pics cannot do it justice. I wish I had gotten a picture of the white dot sights. Much improved over regular GI. The trigger is good. A slight creep, but not much at all IMHO All told from Buds to my house it was $643. So far I am happy

Very nice! Those grips make the stainless really stand out.

Did you have any problems with the grip screws sticking, and backing out the bushings?

Yes. I just purchased this Remington R-1 Stainless Model a few weeks ago. I've only had it out once. I put about 200 rounds downrange with it and was very satisfied. No FTF or FTE's. I tried both Remington magazines, as well as a couple of Wilson Combat Magazines I had brought along with me. All ran well. Ammo was 230 Grain FMJ Ball from Seller & Bellot, PMC Bronze, and Magtech.
