I don't think you could go wrong with either one.
I own a Remington R1 enhanced.
I own a Remington R1 enhanced.
I have a Ruger SR1911 and couldn't be happier with it. I don't know what the Remington goes for, but I got the Ruger for about $650.

I have been looking hard at 1911's as well. Lou had/has a SAM 1911 Military I was considering hard but I can't stop looking at the Ruger SR1911. Unless I can't swing the extra for the Ruger in a month or so I think one is in my future. The lower cost Remington's are not made in the USA but that's not saying something bad about them its just a data point.

I'm partial to the Ruger, but people also say great things about the Remington.

I own both and have been very pleased considering their price.

Actually the Remingtons are made in the USA in Illion NY. Rugers frames are cast by Pinetree Castings, and final machined in Prescott Az.
Both are nice pistols, Ive shot both, but the nod has to go to Remington in the accuarcy department. Remington has more choice of styles of 1911's, where as the the Ruger has only one finish at the moment other then limited edition/dealer exclusive models.
As far as price, most of the Remingtons are more then the Ruger, other then the R1 standard, which is in the vien of a GI model 1911.
The Remingtons use a Series 80 set up - the Ruger uses a Series 70 set up. The plunger tubes are not staked in the Rugers - they are cast as part of the frame, which could be both good and bad.
Alot boils down to what your neighbor wants a 1911 for.
