Got my first 1911

I just picked up my first 1911 style pistol that I won at the Houma Friends of the NRA banquet. Might not be a Colt or Kimber but still excited.
Remington Model 1911 R1 in stainless steel
Anybody else own one of these?

Awesome man. Welcome to the club. It's my favorite gun and it is an absolute blast to shoot. Great trigger and dead on accuracy.
Edit: 1911's in general. I dont have experience with the Rem.

Something just feels right about the 1911 it palms much better than my Ruger P90. Hard to beat the H&K USP i have but the 1911 design is just so damn iconic. Can't wait to send a few rounds downrange with this thing.

Is that a bad thing?

Welcome to the club.

Congrats, bayoudude. Getting your first 1911 is typically a good news/bad news kinda thing.....
Good news: You've got your first 1911.
Bad news: It's not your last 1911; the "addiction" has started and your bank account will never be the same.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconbooboo.gif)

Had a Ruger P89, and while I trusted it, I didn't 'like' it.
