Went out to Shooter's today and bought a Remington R1 1911 should pick it up Friday. So far everything I have read or seen say they are OK so i am looking forward to shooting it.
I think you're gonna like it - I picked one up a few weeks ago at a LGS where they had "New Factory Demos" for $499 - just couldn't pass it up at that price. I shot it last week and, despite a hiccup or two (which I call normal for a new 1911) it was as accurate as I was.
