I bought a new Standard R1 this last March (2012), and have run about 1500 rounds of hardball through it so far, w/o issue one.

The only change I've made was to swap out the issue long spur Gov't Model hammer for an old-style Commander rowel-type hammer from Caspian Arms, just because I prefer rowel hammers.

The only other things I've done is to clean it when it's dirty, lube it when it's dry, and feed it when it's hungry.

I find the R1 to be accurate (although not of target quality) and reliable out of the box, and am glad I spent the $575 OTD for it.
