Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The R1 Carry Commander, in .45 ACP, is an all-steel pistol finished in satin black oxide. All of the sharp edges on the gun have been beveled for concealed-carry comfort. The 4 1/4-inch barrel is stainless steel with a feed ramp designed to properly cycle hollow-point bullets. The trigger is aluminum with an adjustment screw to prevent overtravel.
The gun’s Novak sights are of the fixed combat variety to aid in quick visual acquisition. Both the front and the rear sights are attached via dovetail slots in the slide. In addition, the front unit has a tritium insert, which is a great aid in low-light shooting. The illuminated front dot helps the user quickly acquire the sight and facilitates fast and accurate shooting.
With a nod to the needs of left-handed shooters, Remington made ambidextrous safeties standard-issue on the Carry Commander. Early-day M1911 wizard Armand Swenson first designed this type of ambidextrous safety some years ago, and it is still popular with many M1911 shooters. The right-side lever has a long toe that fits under a relieved area of the right stock for functional reliability.
The pistol’s grip safety is of the popular beavertail design. On any M1911, the beavertail grip safety permits the shooter to take a higher grip on the pistol, which is always an aid in recoil management. With pistols that incorporate the Commander-style hammer spur, however, it also keeps the hammer and slide from injuring large hands. Scars on the web of the shooting hand used to be a clear indication that the person’s chosen handgun was a Commander. Thanks to the beavertail grip safety, that is no longer the case.
As on all Remington M1911s, the R1 Carry Commander also incorporates a firing-pin safety that is designed to prevent the pistol from discharging should it be dropped on a hard surface. There was a time when these firing-pin safeties did not always function properly and often were the cause of a poor trigger pull. Nonetheless, those days appear to be past, and this Carry Commander’s trigger exhibited a clean and crisp break at 4 pounds, 3 ounces.
The stocks on the Remington Commander are attractive rosewood that have been partially checkered with a diagonal pattern. In addition, the pistol’s frontstrap and flat mainspring housing are checkered. Fortunately, the checkering offers a more secure grip for the shooter without being so sharp that it is uncomfortable.
