I'm looking to pick up a basic design 1911 for a reasonable price. I'm wanting to stay close to the original design 1911-A1 version. It's come down to these two.
Remington R1 1911 for $699 or
Springfield 1911-A1 MIL-SPEC on sale for $579
Seems the only cosmetic difference is the Remington has a slightly more shiny finish and a stainless trigger which looks a bit more fancy.
I've owned a few 1911's over the years but they are not really my area of expertise on what to look for.
Which would you choose and why?
Thanks!
