Remington 1911 R1 10mm Long Slide Hunter Review

- The art of 10mm long-slide pistols has been growing over the past few years as hunters embrace the power-packed round for big game. With viable options already on the market from the likes of Glock, Sig Sauer, Ruger, Dan Wesson and Colt, one of the big factory names missing out on the party has joined ranks. Enter the Remington 1911R1.
Built to appeal to hunters, the 1911R1 10mm Hunter Long Slide marks the company’s only real entry into the pistol hunting market. As discerning handgun hunters have come to realize now more than ever before, the 10mm chambering offers plenty of knockdown power to take deer-sized game - or even bigger beasts in the hands of a practiced hunters. - บันเทิง
I had problems with mine from the minute I took it out of the box. Tried different magazines. I tried polishing the feed ramp. I tried smoothing out the slide. I tried tuning the extractor. I happened to come across forum about longslides and someone mentioned a heavier recoil spring. I put in a Wilson combat 24 lbs spring and this thing has worked perfectly ever since.
Nice video.
I would suspect the magazines before blaming Remington's design and build quality.
I doesn't take much for the feed lips to cause problems, no matter who made the gun.
Also, the comments on the recoil spring rates make complete sense and can muck up, even the Holy 1911.
Three words for yah, Rock Island Armory! I have put over 2,000 rounds through my 5" 1911 .45 acp, and around 1,600 rounds through my 6" 1911 .45 acp and have had ZERO failures of any kind. They'll eat it all. I'm sure the same would stand to reason for RIA's 10mm 1911's.
The break in is very common with new 1911 pistols, especially the Remingtons. I own an R1 enhanced fourty five and absolutely love it. That was after the first two hundred and fifty rounds of course.
After experiencing the same feed issues, I asked my local gunsmith to evaluate the problem. He did some work with the extractor and all feeding problems solved. I was now able to feed my R1 10mm any ammo including Buffalo Ammo without any additional feed issues. Once the extractor was (slightly loosened) my gun will now feed any ammo I have tried and it is NOT broken in yet. Have your gunsmith take your Reminton boat anchor and take a look at the extractor before casting it into the lake!
How much does that work cost approximately
I bought a Ruger 1911 10 mm 2 months ago and I had the same problem on failure to load and jams, but after about 150 rounds or so it started getting better and better and I've had no problems with it since. Most new guns just takes time to break them in.
My dad gave me an R1 1911 .45 as a housewarming gift. Ironically, it's the only gun I don't like. I don't have the heart to sell it since he passed away. I do plan on getting a Colt Delta Elite though.
Dan B look at the Rock island 10mm. I have both there high cap and single stack and like them A Lot. I have a Delta, but DO NOT FIRE FULL THROTTLE 10mm loads in it. Unsupported chamber.
Ruger SR1911 10mm for the win
Don't sell it you will regret it I know
Dan B my Delta Elite has been 100 percent and extremely accurate and on par with my Sig hunter
@ 2:17. lol I was waiting for it!
Tanner Webb most factory 1911's need a break in period, because factory slides are rougher than custom hand fit slides.
Plus were they actually using 10mm ammo or watered down ammo.
First, the trigger is not adjustable as you say at 1:15. It comes pre-adjusted from the factory and its pull is between 3.5 - 5.5 pounds. Most will fall around 4 pounds. However, the overtravel is adjustable but, comes set from Remington so if you don't know how to properly check/adjust it, you'd best leave it alone. Second, most all production 1911s come from the factory with an extractor that's not tuned or shaped like a brick, especially the 9mm, 38 super and .40 cals. That said, once the extractor is shaped and tensioned correctly this Remington will function and be 100% reliable.
I hope you’ll see this and respond: would the extractor issue be relevant to the RIA doublestack 10mm models? Of several reviews I have seen, fte or other issues are seen either in newer guns or ones that are subsequently tuned with reported problems that cause jamming, particularly feeding issues.
EXACTLY... This was the same issue my 10mm had. As mentioned in another comment my gunsmith commented that the extractor was COMPLETELY over tensioned. After he did about 10 minutes work with the extractor and it now has handled everything I feed it! Including handloads, BuffaloBore, Ball, JHP, and others. After reading thread I may also try some different mags but don't really want to spend any additional money on mags as the gun is running flawlessly. The trigger pull is Amazing. I am a "MasterClass" shooter in USPSA and IPSCA (top 10% in nation and international competition) and the stock trigger on my gun is very similar to the way I set up my open and limited guns. Open gun==1.5#'s Limited gun==2.0#'s.
It should have a intergraded feed ramp/barrel. I’ll stick to my RIA 6” double stack 10mm
Alejandro Flores-Samaniego Yes SIR. The EAA Tanfoglio all metal is a great one as well but only holds 14rds. where the RIA holds 16+1.
Both are great and both have worked flawlessly for me right out of the box. Lol then again I only use Underwood ammo lol real 10mm ammo. Double Tap and Buffalo Bore are good to but Underwood beats them on price.
Hey Thomas, go to Henningsshootsguns.com and check out his Cone Fit Guide Rod for your pistol. If you shoot a steady diet of Underwood its safe insurance against a frame crack. I have one in mine.
LOVE my RIA 1911's!
I just bought this I ll pick it up when I fly back home can’t wait!
Have had no issues with reliability with my LS, seems to be a great shooter so far..
The 1911 platform was meant to be for .45 ACP that being said I'm sure Remmington 10mm like most 10mm on the 1911 platform needs at least 200 rounds ball to break them in.
Defying Entropy Totally agree most factory 1911's need a break in period, because factory slides are rougher than custom hand fit slides.
Plus were they actually using 10mm ammo or watered down ammo.
How much you wanna bet that the reason why the firearm wasnt reliably feeding is because of the cheap magazines. I had the same thing happen to me straight from the box. Got new high power spring mags from Wilson and it worked like a charm. I love Remington, however, they really need to step their magazine game up.
Ross Devers very true 9 times out of 10 a gun malfunctions because of magazines.
I prefer the 45 Longslide, with laser sighting.
Either that, or an Uzininemillimeder.
Who could forget the plasma rifle 40 watt range
@@isaacward5162 nobly :-)
try wilson combat mags. sound similar to kimber. its not the guns that are junk but the stock mags.
My Remington R1S enhanced is a jammomatic. I'd feel bad selling it to someone else. All of my many experiences with rem have been poor. It's a shame that a company with so much history has gone so far down hill.
At this 1300$ price Noone should have to deal with reliability issues right out of the box
I agree to try various magazine brands when buying a 1911. 99% of the time it'll fix things though I don't know why. Traded my R1 Enhanced for a TRP but honestly it was a great 1911.
The EAA Tanfoglio all metal is great and holds 14rds. and is less expensive. I would suggest looking at that. Just a suggestion
You suppose it needs a break in? I guess polymer pistol people overlook that in a steel gun. Final fit and finish determine how much break in it needs. Just my two cents. I am interested in a 10mm pistol. I like the Iver Johnson long slide. Thanx for the review.
Dave B most factory 1911's need a break in period, because factory slides are rougher than custom hand fit slides.

It streets for $950-$1000~
Remington's rep as of late has been spotty at best...which I'm sad to see about one of (perhaps the oldest) oldest arms manufactures in the nation.
I've got the itch for a 10mm...and I've been fighting 1911 G.A.S. for the last five years....I may take a chance on one of these...perhaps it was a break-in issue?
Johnny Keller ya I your right also replace that mag with a Tripp research Cobra mag I had the same problem out of my iver Johnson Eagle XL 1911 it's a long slide like this one is after the mag change it runs flawlessly.
I'll spend the extra $200 and buy a 460 mag
Johnny Keller I had a similar issue with mine. Its the mags that come with the gun. Their entirely cheap as hell. They can't handle the slide returning to battery so quickly...change them out for Wilson Combat Mags and you should be good.
Have any of you picked up the gun? I'm looking at this gun, but concerned about its reliability.
Switching to a better mag sounds like a great idea.
They absorbed Para USA. It is quite evident in the style of this pistol.
Did you try different magazines that can be an issue as well
I have this very 10mm. Brake in was around 60 rounds of full throttle 10mm, not the watered down version. Far better then a glock as I had one in 10mm and 45 acp and both of them blew up on factory ammunition. Glock = handgrenade, say what you want, but when your Glock blows up in your had, you will be talking to a lawyer as I did. And my lawyer is a shooter and a firearms collector.
I was interested in getting one but now I am thinking a bit , I have read about maybe 200 rounds to break it in well and hopefully that will be all it would need but , I would hope to get a Revolver in same caliber , I would rather that anyway .
Very like,.45 long slide
Put an ed brown 10mm slide stop in it. Or a Wilson 38 super slide stop.
Not sure about this one but their 45acp 1911's are good to go. My R1 Carry has been an excellent gun and my buddy's standard R1 is the same.
556poor
Same here. Used my R1 as a carry gun for 3 years and always take it to the range. I sent the first one back due to tooling marks in the dustcover which wore the bluing off the slide. They sent a new gun, but tried to say replacement was due to the slidestop rash - they claimed it could not be buffed out. There was barely anything there. All BS but oh well. It shoots like a well used gun. Not tight, not sloppy, but could have been machined and fit better. Overall, for five fity, I like the gun and shoot it alot. My SR1911 is waaaay better, but I still gravitate to the R1911 alot.
My present carry is a Springfield 3.5” SS 1911. Very nice for what I paid.
I will stick with my Ruger Super BlackHawk or 460 Rowland.
Hopefully you got a Pistol that needed a little work , it really looks like an excellent pistol .
@Gunscom i keep seeing reviewers mention adjustable trigger 3.5-5# but I have detail stripped mine and see no such feature.. does it mean if you decide to bend the sear spring you can adjust it? O_O Please let me know if you have some info on this..
Impressive handling and accuracy don't come with reliability problems. Imagine hunter protecting himself with such gun as last resort and it fails to feed or eject...
Im stuck between a R1 10mm and a sr1911 in 10mm
Get the Ruger. Remington is junk.
SMH Why didn't they make it double stack.
SMH I don't understand the damn gun manufacturers.
Be different, be better, get netter sales.
Most 1911's need a break in period because a factory slide is rough, where custom slides are not.
Hell even Dan Wesson's mess up at first.
Alotta people think single stack 1911s are prettier, and it's kinda true.
VERYGOOD VERYGOOD
I LOVE I WANT THE GUN
M.1911 CAILIBER 45 ACP 10MM
38 SUPER AND 9MM. ALL BRANDS IN THE WORLD
@THAILAND
Remington isn’t what it used to be across the board!! Sad fall bad ownership.
I dont like the squared out sight.. feels like they got lazy
MarvinMfz yes
Give me two then I got ebony and ivory
Chubbs!!!!!!!!! Is here!!!!!!!!!
1911's always need to be broken in.
stop making sense
Don't buy any pistols from Remington, most of them have reliability issues
Ale7 most factory 1911's need a break in period, because factory slides are rougher than custom hand fit slides.

Remington is known for a good 1911, but their 9mm is garbage.
I WONT .38 SUPER
Ah maybe a break in you think. Come on guys..
Paraordnance budget version
Lose the rail
I have this...it's Junk. the fit and finish is horrific !
Remington pistol flops again!
ALL NEW GUNS NEED BREAKIN IN periodt
The only thing dumber than buying a 1911 from Remington is buying one from Taurus. Leave that shit in the junk pile and buy guns from proven manufactures.
