Having shot Colt's for years, I was pleasantly surprised when I shot my friend's R1 Enhanced model. It's quality was easily as good as my Colt and it's accuracy was better. The features of this gun made this R1 look as if it was a $1000 or more 1911. I was so impressed with the performance and appearance of this pistol that I placed and order for the stainless R1 Enhanced shortly there after. The R1s has a beautiful stainless finish like no other. A great 1911 at a good price and I got a $75 rebate to boot!
