I have no problem buycotting Target and starbucks. Springfield is no different for me
I have a long list of things & places I boycott. People are very surprised when they offer me something & I decline it based on it.

Nice looking Remington. I’ll give you the same advice I give everyone who acquires a 1911. Those things breed like rabbits in your gun safe.Well I have news, today I went out shooting with a friend who isnt too much of a gun nut. I went around and decided to check out some 1911s at a few gun stores in DFW. All Colts I saw had plastic MSH for those who are curious. Made sure I checked
Here is what I saw:
Colt 1991 9mm: What a rickety POS. There was so much slop in between the slide and frame. Reminded me of the Col in Okinawa who pulled strings to keep a 1911 in the armory for his own use. His GI issue 1911 didnt even have this much play though. Little disappointed but trigger was decent
Colt Rail Gun 45 ACP: This was a stark difference to the 1991. It was oozing quality. Parts were fitted tighter than a dolphins *******. Trigger was outstanding. It is $907 in the clearance section at Rifle Gear in Plano.
Ruger SR1911 Nightwatch: It was pretty decent. Little play in between the slide and frame. Parts seemed good. Trigger was really nice. Wasnt worth $8-850 to me. More like a $700 gun
Ruger SR1911 Stainless w/Novak Sights: Once again pretty good. Less play than the nightwatch. Trigger was really nice. $749 at academy $775 at Cabelas
Colt Government 45: Almost bought this. Was $875 and had everything going for it but was searching for stainless. Finish was surprisingly nice.
So after all of that, still wasnt crazy about anything. Ended up trading a relative an older Glock 22 for a NIB Remington R1S. I know I might sound crazy but it actually surprised the hell out of me with how solid this thing feels. No slop, nice trigger, finish is awesome. I fired a few mags through it and it had no issues at all. Kinda dumbfounded that this weapon was made by Remington. Figured I got it for nothing as I am swimming in 40 cal Glocks so what the hell. Going to beat on it some and let yall know how it fairs. As for right now, initial impressions are very positive

Trying to get there today or I might just go out in the backyard again. We were on our way to Sherman to go to the cracker barrel last night and we saw two dogs, adult and puppy, on the side of the road. Wife couldnt say no so we brought them back to the house and have been dealing with that situation right now. I shot two mags yesterday and it was very accurate, recoil was nothing.I am very pleased with it so far but I want to break it in with a few hundred roundsRange report?
I've heard nothing but good reports about the Remington 1911s. Good choice.
Fine. I ordered one. Even without the $100 rebate, how can you say no to a $499 Remington 1911?
