Stop Negassing me!!!!!
Ummmmm......no. I'll stick with HK.
Supposed to come out August 12th and when they start to show up in Maryland stores I will have to handle one. But just curious about roster stuff as well
I've got the fix for the R51. Remington should sell the design to SigSauer or HK. They , bigR, don't have a engineering team worth a crap. I will say the pistol looks great and could be a winner with a different company. I think that the new one would have issues with those loose gen1 mags; but why would they change those at all?
Given the abysmal failure that was Gen1, I wouldn't go anywhere near Gen2 until it's been proven solid for years, at least 3-5 years. No point in lusting after what might be another turd when there are plenty of proven, high-quality choices in the market.
Translation: Remington should stay away from making pistols, since they obviously aren't capable. And you're right. Properly made, this would sell.
Resurrecting an old thread.... American Rifleman this month has a positive review of the new R51. I really like the lines on this, sort of a modern retro something or other. I nearly had a chance to shoot the Gen 1 before the recall; glad I didn't jump on a 'deal' offered. Didn't purchase because of the issues. Any IP have one on hand??? Would love to fondle one.
I wouldn't trust a review from any magazine. Esp.one the gets truck loads of money from a manufacturer. Be patient, real reviews will come out soon. Looking back, no mag gave it a bad review the last time x2.
I concur completely. Remington has gone through some hard times; don't know whether they are 'back' yet. I've seen several positive reviews of the R51 recently, so perhaps, maybe, quite possibly, a consensus is beginning to build. In any event, I won't lay down my money without an opportunity to try one. But is sure is purrrty :-)
AFAIK. Handgun roster board is a agency in Maryland state police that approves new handguns for sale in the state. A new gun has to be submitted and approved to them before it can be sold. I think any cosmetic or features change has to be resubmitted. What a Free state! See sticky at page one of this sub- forum.
Is there a specific and objective criteria to be listed on the roster?
