They're on the shelf locally, $399 - $499. I'd like to see Remington get them right this time. Anyone here have a new one to tell us about yet?

It looks like a nice pistol. I hope it's right, too.

That's what financial advisers would refer to as a "poor investment."
What an ugly POS.

I looked at one at a gun show, eh. Big green should stick to M700's and 870's.

Travis I've got a model 51 made in 1920 and it is a beautiful gun, slim and points very naturally like a Luger. It is a little finicky about bullet shapes but otherwise functions well. But yes the R51 is ugly and not worthy of the model 51 legacy. You would think they could find a new model number for it.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost....

I handled one this week. The trigger was not as bad as some of the reports I've seen; reset is rather long and indistinct, but it's not a bad trigger for a concealed carry defense piece. I like the anti-snag profile of the rear sight and the overall ergonomics. I just hope they've addressed the reliability issues.
Ugly? Maybe; but no uglier than a Glock, XD, M&P, Taurus, etc.

you would have to have a serious mental problem to buy one of these. Go buy a replica star trek phaser, fondle that one and then get a glock to bet your life on.

So you've handled or shot one, or just regurgitating something you've heard?

Fad drives the market and single stack nines are all the rage now. While there is nothing about this pistol that appeals to me, it will sell all the same.

. What an ugly POS.
Travis Gotta agree with Flave on this one! Also, the first release a couple of years ago failed miserably and ALL of them were recalled. You couldn't give me one of those POS.

So that looks like a no, no one has any actual experience shooting a new/re-release model?

a 100% recall, a re-release and you seem to want to buy one when no one else does, interesting that you really want to buy one.

I watched a video review from The Firearms Blog. 500-round test, with various ammo.
Not for me. Too many stoppages.
