Yeah, John, from what I've been reading, the locking Pederson system was just the thing for the .45 ACP's power, and mechanically quite excellent. It may well have turned out to be what the 1911 is, had it been produced/tested in time!

I have three, an early, mid and late production. They all soot great. It would have made a great .45!!

I found this on a Russian Site.

http://ru.althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Remington_Model_53

Note the picture. A caption within the picture, in English, states that the only Mod. 53 ever made resides at the Remington Factory.

Neat looking gun. I would love to see how its operation differs from a Browning, et al.

Regards,

Gunny John
