My noob advice sucks, this is better.

Every 1911 I've fired has had some play in the trigger.
I could see this being unusual to a DA pivot trigger shooter.

according to the owners manual mine came with, the R1 uses a Series 80 style system.
most 1911's do have some amount of play in the trigger, just due to it's design.
but to be on the safe side, you might have a competent gunsmith check it out to make sure it's not an excessive amount of play in it. if it does, send it back to Remington for warranty repair.

Check the sear spring to see if it is bent, that could explain any wiggle back and forth

I forgot to mention it is not brand new. It was used. There's barely any wear on it at all. I don't know how warranty's work with used firearms. And I don't know squat about 1911's.
