The R-51 by Remington

[Garpo]

Now that it's been shown in action, the more I'm liking it. See it here:

[HEIST]

I like it. I need to save up some money for one.

 

[Django]

I saw this mentioned on another thread. I'd definitely like to shoot one. Good price point on it too.

If they can deliver a crisp, clean 3.5# trigger pull, I'll be impressed. Otherwise, they can go into the same pile as the Sig P938, the great little gun that "could" have been.

 

[The Pitt]

I want one.

ETA: In my opinion, I think a 3.5# trigger is a little light for what should be expected. Its primary purpose is a CCW, not a range toy.

I second what Dan has to say about the trigger.

As for muzzle flip/recoil we are talking about a 9mm. If you can't handle a 9mm then your in trouble to begin with. Its really not a super light weight pistol as it only weighs 1.7 oz less then the G26 unloaded. is .41" shorter but it is much thinner.

Stats Weight 20 oz
Width .96
Length 6 inches
Height 4.5 inches
Barrel length 3.4

I noticed on the video the MSRP was stated as $420. I previously read it was $389.
Still sounds interesting but like others, I need to hear more reviews on it.

The first time I saw anything about them, I thought they looked real good on paper, but were ugly as sin.
The more I see them, though, the less ugly I find them.

Hmmm... may have to seek one out to see it in person.

 

[CCHGN]

I will definitely have 2 of these. I will clean out the safe to do so. They have every feature that's important for carry. This is the pistol I've been waiting for all of my life. Btw, for recoil control, the center of bore needs to be as close to the hand as possible. A Sig doesn't even come close. It doesn't matter if it's 9mm or .45, recoil control = accuracy, getting back on target. You may have to do it with one hand. An injured hand.

I'll prob get one for my wife. I'll wait for a larger cal for myself however

 

[Specialty Pawn]

They hit the streets today....

 

[Aaronious45]

know how many mags are shipped with them?

 

[Garpo]

know how many mags are shipped with them?

And what's the street price?

 

[Aaronious45]

And what's the street price?

I think about .67 cent per gram lol

 

[Garpo]

I think that's over msrp by 50$ if I remember right

 

[The Pitt]

Last I saw was $420 MSRP for the basic R51, somthing like $600 for the Crimson Trace version.
Suppose to come with two mags. Additional mags $29.99.

 

[Welldoya]

I am interested in this one and the Glock 42. I'm afraid it will be like when the LCP first came out and they will be selling above MSRP for the first year or so. I will wait.

 

[Aaronious45]

I'll be going for this over the g42 as I'm not a fan of 380

 

[nrajeeper]

I am looking for CCW pistol and am waiting to try this one.... hopefully "additional dealer markup" or "market value adjustment" isnt an issue...
