Regent R100 1911

Regent 1911 Review

Umarex USA introduced their R100 1911 pistol at Shot Show this year but what separates the Regent 1911 from others is the price.  The Regent 1911-A1 has a suggest retail of $499 but I’ve seen them going already for much lower.  Shooters should be able to find the Regent 1911 from 400-500 dollars making this centennial classic easier to obtain.  If you’re thinking it’s made of cheap material, well you would be wrong.

While the Regent 1911 is basically a vanilla pistol, it still comes with standard Hogue grips, a stainless steel hammer forged barrel and a low cut ejection port.  Later on this year, Umarex will be releasing a stainless steel version that will retail for $599.

If the Regent 1911 is reliable, and uses all MIL-Spec parts, then I could see it being a great starter 1911.  The 1911 has one of the biggest selection of aftermarket parts so one could easily start upgrading their budget 1911 and quickly have a superb pistol.  Hopefully Gunblog.com can obtain one soon to give you guys a full review.
