They're the same. Remington bought Para.

The sights actually are still marked Para-USA.

Para had storm lake barrel and EGW® HD Extractors in there long slide hunter 1911s I'm sure Remington isn't using those brand parts anymore. Remington is own by a Chinese company now like Browning and many others.

I thought Freedom Group owns Remington (and a bunch of other outdoor sports companies). Freedom Group is an American company.

I just got one of the Davidson's special run of Bronze, should be here tue or wed next week. Don't know much about Remington 1911's, but do have a Glock 40 longslide and a 29sf I EDC. Took a chance on the Remington, hopefully it will work out. Couldn't swing the Dan Wesson Bruin price tag. I'll take pics when it gets here.

I did get this so far:

Remington Outdoor Group is owned by
Cerberus Capital Management, a NY based investment company.

I just read about this last night. Any new 10MM is an exciting development to me.

This right here.

Picked up my R1 Hunter today. Couldn't download the pics the file was to big, so I'll take some with my digital camera and reduce the file size. Anyway the Bronze color is really nice, great slide to frame fit. Excellent barrel lock up. Excellent trigger, very crisp 4-5lbs if were to guess, pretty much better than I expected. If it shoots as nice as it looks I'll have a winner on my hands. Range report and pics when I get a chance to go.

How much did you pay? If you don't mind.

$1100, plus tax and back ground. Total was $1182.00

That isn't bad if the quality is there. Looking forward to the range report.

I am interested in one, but my local dealer only has them listed at the 1300 msrp..... :o   maybe he will flex a bit or I will have better luck at gun show or online.

Yes, wait a few months, the price is sure to go down. Also keep an eye on GB.
