Stgyork,   I have three Regents.2 R100's and an R200S. The R200S is the maxed out version (ambi safety, beavertail, 3dot sight, skeletonized trigger and hammer, stainless steel). I have used them in 4 different handgun classes with 5 to 600 rounds each class. I have not had any problems with either of them. maybe you just got a bad one. clean the new one real good before shooting it, that may help. As a side not, I have had a multi fire situation with another 1911 in the past, however, it was my shooting technique that caused the problem ( pressed the trigger more that once).

Thanks Guys, I was afraid I was going to guff it up, but they all shoot great with great accuracy. Mike thanks for posting the picture

First AR and 1911 builds       http://i1344.photobucket.com/albums/p643/joeleerj/DSCF0307_zpse440c3e8.jpg        

Thanks, I have put 1 mag throught it , prior to installing sight, just to test function. It shot very smooth, with very mild recoil. I will check accuracy this weekend, since The sight are now installed. I will post the results.

Update on the build http://www.flickr.com/photos/organize/ See First post.At top of page,

I haven't posted for a while. I've been very busy. However, while I was away, I decided to try my hand at building a match grade 1911. I decided to start with a forged frame and slide fron Rmsport. See them @ DSCF0036 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! I haved order a Kart Barrel, Wilson Combat beavertail grip safety, and Ed Brown slide stop, thumb safety and internals. I will post pictures as I go. Complete build, minus the final finish, I'm thinking Brownells bake on finish, What do you think?

Great looking Mare's Leg! Even if it's not a J.B. Custom.

I will feel that way, I'm sure

I'm sure I will feel his presence whenever I use one.

Greg, you a probably right I should have graciously accepted, but knowing her, she will more than likley, use the money to help someone else. That's how she is. I also like the 375. I don't know what I will use it for, maybe I'll save for a big game hunt in Alaska. I have always wanted too.

Thanks, he and I have done a lot of hunting over the years. As a matter of fact he took me on my first hunting trip. I will miss him, and cherish his gun collection. He was sort of a father figure for me. He was 78 when he died, his wife is about 10years younger.

Believe it or not, this s the very first 10/22 I have ever owned.

A friend whos' husband died 3 months ago, gave me all of his guns. She said that she knew how much I like guns, and wanted to do something nice for me. She wanted to give them to me for free, but I finally talked her into taking $800, she wouldn't take anymore than that. Take a look. DSCF0034 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

I promised to take her to the range and sign her up for some classes at Range Master, here in Memphis.

Yea, I've got the 1911 bug also.

Thanks. I agree the the case is not all that great, but for $550.00, it's not a concern. I have replaced the main spring housing to an arched type, and I will soon have the front strap checkered. That's all I plan to do to this gun. Since my last post, I have put another 400 rounds through it, with not jams or misfeeds. I think Remington got this one right.

My first impression of this gun was WOW! The finish is very good, but not great. But, for a$550.00 gun, that's ok. The frame to slide fit is excellent; however, when racking the slide, it feels gritty. This may improve with time. At the range shot 450 rounds of various ammo, ball, JHP, and lead. Did not experience any misfeeds, jams, or ejection problems. The gun is very accurate. I did not have to adjust the sights, because, I was able to make consistent head shots from 25 yards. It came with a match grade stainless steel barrel, press fitted bushing, lowered and flared ejection port. The front strap is smooth (I'm going to have it checkered), and the main spring housing is flat. It fits my hane very well, but I prefer an arched main housing (I'm changing the housing). Oner all this is a great gun. I own and or have owned other 1911's, that were much more expensive, and none of them were any better than this one.

Nice, I like it

A new hammer for the tool box. I waited 91 years for Remington to re-enter the handgun ( hand tool ) market again.

I got this flashlight for free at a University of memphis recruitment open-hous. Can anyone tell who it's made by? It's a great flashlight. http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/5795/dscf0030e.jpg

Yes the quality is fantastic !!

Greg makes great holsters. I've spent a lot more for lesser quality holsters. I wish my payment had gotten to you as fast as the hoslter got to me. Thanks greg! Check in out http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/1853/dscf0028x.jpg

Thanks, I will.

Great looking gun!! Where can I get a hoster like that?

Thanks

Thanks, The original parkerizing came out dark gray.
