    I think the enhanced will help the brand quite a bit.

    Has FO Front sight, 25 LPI rear serrations, front serrations, notched Kensight-style rear with no dots, supposedly only "non-stress" parts are MIM while the rest are forged, whatever that means. Ext. mag release and TS, beveled magwell and comes with 3 8-Round magazines. Seems well thought out.

    Supposedly test fired 14 rounds before leaving the factory and accuracy std is 3.5 in @ 25 yards.

    The standard R1 isn't cast is it? The one that you have, I like that one it just looks old school cool.

    I think the fiber optic front sight will draw some customers at the local shops who aren't familiar with them.

    It's going to give the RO a run. But still, I would get the RO over this.

    It shouldnt unless they improved on the ones from SHOT. But then again, I didnt think there was anything special about the R1 either, but people are always buying them.

    We have one at the local gun shop here. I personally don't care for its looks. But I handled in anyways and looked it over. The barrel throating and feed ramp polishing look quite good on it. I don't think the website picture does its finish any justice, because in the shop, the finish looked terrible to me.

    Sorry, but IMHO the Springfied Range Officer is a better gun.
