I just saw that they might be? Anyone know anything about this? Pics?
I believe it is going to be a Remington-Rand WWII reproduction of some sort. This came from a fairly reliable industry insider type.
I thought that Remington-Rand was a typewriter company.
I remember my aunt had an old Remington-Rand. It shot off letters, not bullets.
I should clarify. My source said Remington was coming out with a 1911. I ASSumed it would be a Remington-Rand reproduction, but not being a WWII 1911 expert I am getting a little far afield.
Remington Rand and the Remington weapons company have zero to do with each other so it would be weird if they came out with a repro.
Do just an eensy, tiny bit of Googling.
Could be a Remington-UMC WWI reproduction.
It would be cool if Remington Arms would start building old-fashoned typewriters.
Do you think it would sell as well as their 105 CTi II?
Or they could make electric razors
IIRC Remington Rand made more 1911a1’s then Colt. I sold mine a few years ago.

So I guess no one really has any info on this?
The market needs another 1911 that works most of the time? 
I wouldn’t mind a Remington 1911 if they didn’t goof it with external extractors (S&W) or try to style it like it was something else ( SIGs). They should just make some nice XSE/Kimber/Springfield loaded style pistols. There always seems to be room for 1911s.
If they made it with an intergal plunger tube + lower/better external extractor design, I’ll bite.
Too many proven 1911 makers out there right now to justify trying something new.
I noticed that Double Star is coming out with them too…

Too many proven 1911 makers out there right now to justify trying something new, but plain.

I’m waiting for the Singer Sewing Machine Co. to make another 1911. THAT would be interesting!
