Longslide 1911 in 10mm.
Yeah, I know, just what we need. Another 10mm 1911. But, seeing Remington offer it is exciting to me as they run pretty mainstream in handguns. I take this as an acknowledgment that the 10mm is no longer seen as a passing fad.
Isn't this just a re badged Para hunter.

Almost certainly is. Still, Remington chose to keep it and not drop it.
Kevin Underwood really likes his Para piece. Too bad 90% of new offerings are 1911's.
Now all Remington has to do is make good 10mm ammo, not the watered down stuff that they sell now :(
I just read about this last night. Any new 10MM is an exciting development to me.
I could get behind it, good to see remington continuing the lineage. It looks nice and Price is steep but couldnt blame anyone on getting one.
Nice looking piece.
But I can get a Witness Hunter for cheaper and have double the mag capacity.
I'm just happy that the 10mm is gaining main stream attention. More 10mm guns = more ammo demand, more demand = more ammo producer's, more ammo producers = lower price ammo due to competition and more ammo options. I hope this gun feeds better than other para 1911's .
I posted it, I love 1911's and I have a Para 10mm now.
But...

hard to beat this logic. And, I like my two Tanfoglio's too.
I wonder if the barrel is ramped?
It's for sure ramped.
Are the Remington versions long slide hunter available now... ?
It is semi-official that this is a re-branded Para. The stock photos of the rear sight show it marked Para-Ord.

ALL my 10mm pistols are 1911's....I happen to LIKE that platform!
Somehow I know this :D

When I can shoot my 1911's like this, who needs capacity? If you need more than 8 shots, you should be running, not shooting!

It gives me a chuckle when I read that every so often ;) When you can get your attacker... or attackers (these days) to hold perfectly still, like a Silhouette paper target, with hands to their side, face on- for the duration... have at it! You could probably make confetti, but I would still rather have them extra rounds in case they want to "shuck and jive" ;D

I stand by my target and what I said. If you need more than 8, run, don't be shooting. All the target proved was I have a very good chance of hitting you. The gun I made that target with has a set of Crimson Trace green laser grips. Where the dot is, is where the bullet goes when I pull the trigger.
Here are a couple of examples how that scenerio didn't work out and resulted in bad consequences!
No one has ever said after a gunfight " I wish I had carried less ammo".
And, if you carry a 1911 you should have at least 15 with you. 7+1 in the gun and a spare magazine. Murphy's law says the magazine in the gun will stop working when you need it most.
Back to the ParaRemington..
Has anyone actually fired one of these?
You know the expert to talk to on them? Dial up Kevin Underwood and he can tell you everything a person could want to know on them.
On the Remmy or the Para?
They're the same. Remington bought Para.
I'm glad to see it being produced. Any 10mm is a good 10mm.
Offered now in bronze:

That's you man! I can see you with that in your hand firing off some Underwood!

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.

Nice, I'm looking forward to the pictures. Sharp looking 10mm.
Gunblast just got his hands on one. Let's see what he has to say!

I did get this so far:
Remington Outdoor Group is owned by
Cerberus Capital Management, a NY based investment company.
Looking forward to Jeff Quinn's review.

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.
I hate buying a firearm right around this time. Part of it is the Holidays and the other part is Shot Show is right around the corner... might be something even better then!

Heaven forbid, you might have to buy two 10mm pistols :)
I can't find two at the moment though ???
The Shadow 2 hasn't made it to the States yet and Grand Power hasn't released the Centimeter yet. Those are the two that might qualify :o

Somewhere I saw a report that said the Centimeter was labeled for a customer, it was a P40 other than that. I think they should go with it.
What's the Shadow 2?
Ahhh.....very nice.
I just picked up my new Remington R 1 Hunter in 10mm. I like it, it offers good balance and a great sight picture. I don't like the VZ grips supplied with the gun however. I'm looking for something a little less aggressive on your hands. I'm thinking about a Bianchi X 15 shoulder holster to carry it in. I can't wait to get it out to the range and try it out. I've never tried whitetail hunting with a handgun, it looks like fun. I'll let you know how this combo works out for me.

Nice Rob,
Let me know what grips you choose. I agree they are a bit to aggressive. I took mine to the range this morning with limited time, I put 100 rounds of sig 180gr FMJ's through it, no issues. Very nice factory trigger on mine. Seemed to be right on targert at 25yds. So far I'm pleased with my R1 Hunter. Look forward to your range report.
I though I'd report back about my first time at the range with my new Remington 10mm Hunter. I replaced the VZ grips and put on a set of Pearce palm swell grips which look good and feel more comfortable in my hand. Shooting from a pistol rest my groups measured 1 to 2 inchs at 25 yards. Shooting free hand I was grouping around 3 1/2" using Hornady 165 gr loads. The pistol shoots good, weight and balance are excellent with a great sight picture.
Sounds really good!
Excellent thanks!

Excellent, thank you for the range report. Looks like I have another to add to the 2017 list.
This is the best price I have seen so far.
