Re: Shot The New Remington 1911
Confirmed:
They are currently shooting prototypes and should settle on the final version soon.
However if someone has brought one of these out of the restricted area if they still have a job they might get a knock on the door or it might be hitting them on their way out.

Re: OT - .44 Schofield
yes 44 Winchester = 44-40, 45 Colt, and something else in typical Remington style, never say never if it's a Remington.
Another interesting note if you want to quickly identify a 44 Rem 1875, it's the only one that a nickel will fit between the frame and cylinder.
