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.:D

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.

The market needs another 1911 that works most of the time? :confused::p

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...

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