Have not seen any. From what I've read they seem to be a very well built 1911. Depending on price I may have to pick one up.
They are none currently available.

Adam, first one you get, hold it for me!!! ![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")
It is on the roster. Whether or not it meets the AG's regulations is another matter (specifically the loaded chamber indicator requirement).
See Picture 7 on page 12 of the owners manual.
Then I don't see any reason why it would not meet the AG's requirements.

So, if it's on the EOPS list, and the AG has no list but the gun has a LCI, who gives dealers the "high sign" that it's OK to sell? Or is that the problem....sell at your own risk.
The manufacturer. But the dealers still have some risk.
I think Acme Armament already indicated in another thread that it is ok to sell in MA. I tried looking for it, but my search fu stinks. I believe that we're only waiting for the supply to hit MA.
That just means that Remington sent a letter to the AG saying "we think the R1 is in accordance with your regulations" and the AG didn't respond. Other manufacturers have been down that road before.
In this case, I think there is little likelihood that the AG will balk, since the R1 is so similar to the S&W and Sig 1911s being sold.

No, it doesn't matter. You're making rampant assumptions about the poster.... why does everyone bring up MA compliance BS at the drop of a hat around here?
Even if he does live in MA, maybe he is moving out. Maybe he has a friend that wants to sell him an SA. Maybe he is using a legal wallhack (which we won't discuss here) to get what he wants.
I don't get this attitude of "You shouldn't care about what the difference is because you can't buy it here anyways" I think that mindset is somewhat obnoxious. Living in MA is bad enough, we don't need to be constantly reminded of it every 10 seconds.

Hell, maybe the guy who posted that question is just curious, and seeks answers for purely academic reasons. Maybe he is helping his friend who lives in (insert free state here) research a handgun.

Re-read what I wrote. I made no assumptions. Also, all I said was that it matters to those who live in MA, not all the other stuff you wrote.

Well, that's another assumption all by itself. Some of us who live here don't really care about handgun compliance when making purchasing decisions. I'd rather look for a decent used SA for 6 months for a reasonable price than kowtow to the AG's bulls**t, if I really wanted an SA 1911. (It probably wouldn't take me that long, but 6 months was for dramatic effect. ) I'm not knocking the R1 here at all, but it being compliant is not a "selling point" to me. It has nothing to do with the question/discussion of whether or not it is a decent handgun.
