l dont have a Remington but do have a NorInco and a Smith and Wesson 1911. The Norc is fun but doesnt match the Smith. Between the two l would say the Remington will be the better of the two. My vote is go with the Remington.
Or get both .

If price doesn't matter, why are you limiting yourself to these two? Just wondering...
lol yea why not dump 15k into a custom jobby!, Or price doesn't matter in that range because you should include the Ruger SR1911 too then
Best all around value has to be the SR1911. I was looking and almost bought the R1 Stainless. I ended up with the Ruger mostly because of the enhanced options. Its right out the box accurate. Only issue I had was one of the mags needed some breaking in. It won't be my last 1911 and I'm happy it was my first.

There is a lot of fine 1911's to chose from I would look further if it were me..
Remington. Then the Norinco. Once you shoot the Remington, then the Norc, you'll appreciate how much finer the Remington is...then you can use the Norc as your range b1tch.{or sell it?}
.{or sell it?}Have had several norcs...still got a commander, and it shoots great..but in all honesty I'd spend a few more bucks and get something with better finishing....norcs work for sure, eventually you'll just lust after something a little more refined...

I have both...Norc's a beater gun, works great and not afraid to abuse it.
I looked at a rem r1 GI. It was a complete pos. slide to frame fit was horrible, bushing was loose, and the slide had a huge overhang at the rear over the frame. And the finish was nothing to brag about. Not worth 800. Not even close. Go with the SAM.

This is a good point if you want a gun with all the bells and whistles. If you are looking for a GI gun, then the plain vanilla R1 will do. That being said, the R1 is a good platform to customize if you choose to do so. Mine is covered with Wilson Combat stuff.
