    Looks like Remington's ready to give it another go...
    While we determined the pistols were safe, certain units did not meet Remington’s performance criteria. The performance problems resulted from complications during our transition from prototype to mass production. These problems have been identified and solutions are being implemented, with an expected production restart in October.

    Anyone who purchased an R51 may return it and receive a new R51 pistol, along with two additional magazines and a custom Pelican case, by calling Remington at (800) 243-9700.

    I like my original 51 380 but not a fan of the retro plastic even if it was cheap. May be as I havent checked into it.

    I held an original one yesterday at my friend's pawn shop. Never much paid attention to Remington pistols so I had no idea there even was an original, but it felt nice! Smooth, solid, and sure to function. I may have to go back to get it when I get some cash. I'd carry a .380 without worrying if it was strong enough. I mean, who's gonna stand with a pistol up their nose and argue?
