Cheaper Than Dirt has a picture of Remington's upcoming 1911. If it is priced according to the early reports, it will probably do pretty well. The $699 (not confirmed) price puts it right in line with the Springfield Armory base offerings.

Remington’s first 1911 in 91 years revealed! The gun was not supposed to be launched until May 1st, but we’ve got an exclusive sneak peek. Well worth the wait, the Remington 1911 R1, comes with two 7-round magazines and a bushing wrench along with an offer for a discount on the purchase of a 1911 Multi Tool.
From the information we have gathered, it appears that the pistol is being manufactured at Remington’s facility in Ilion New York. This should bode well for the quality of the pistol. Early reports indicate that the new 1911 will retail for $699.

That looks quite nice.

I love 1911's! Remington should follow the Colt line and do a WWII reproduction. I'd be in line for that.

Shooting Illustrated reports it will be unveiled (http://www.shootingillustrated.com/Guns/Semi-Auto_Pistols/Remington1911.html) at the NRA annual meeting. There are some really nice pictures in that article.
It will also be on the cover of June issue (http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?pid=3685839&id=363147449221) of Shooting Illustrated.
