I haven't looked at the remington 1911 r1 close enough to really evaluate it, but I do know that some 1911 are casted and some are milled from a solid peice of aluminum or steel, the kimber is milled rather then casted the kimber also has a match trigger and barrel which for the price might be the better deal. I've considered buying a kimber but wouldn't mind a springfield either, I don't know if the remington will hold its value.
