Breaking: Remington R51 9 mm Pistol Update - American Rifleman
From Remington's Presser:
"...after initial commercial sales, our loyal customers notified us that some R51 pistols had performance issues. We immediately ceased production to re-test the product. 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."
Pardon me if I don't hold my breath. As of late, one of the few things Remington has done well was make - and break - promises.

But... it's only -- one more promise.
I'm not holding my breath.
This could be good news, if (and I emphasize "if") Remington cleans up their act and fixes the issues.
ReplyDeletePart of me is still excited/enamored with the R51; it's a good concept and a neat, workable design. If they can fix the execution, it might be a winner.
Again, big "if."
