Mike:
Remington Rand, along with companies like Singer Sewing Machine, tooled up to produce weapons during the World Wars. The Reming Rand company later went on to create "Univac" and other business machines. Although the "Remington" name is associated with Remington Arms through family ties, it is/was a totally seperate company. This new offering from Remington Arms has no track record. I'm sure it's a fine pistol but wouldn't buy one until it's been out, shot for some time and proven itself.

PS: I don't think "Singer" is getting back in the game...CCS
