I'm right at 200 now, and she's smoothed out considerably. Seems like Remington saud 500 though.
Hello R-51 Pistol forum members
As you no doubt notice this forum looks different. I had to perform a major update due to some problems that were preventing the forum from loading.

28 SiG P365 rounds, very reliable and accurate. 191, and about as close to malfunctions as I have are chambering the 1st round is a bit sluggish when the gun is dirty.

28 Geco rounds gets us to 163. Ran perfectly, and Geco ammo is good stuff. Pic won't attach.

Update. We're at 135 rounds and the piece is definitely getting more reliable. Still experimenting with different ammo...

Went to Rural King today, and the R51 is back to $200. "Clearance" at least there seems to be a synonym for "sale."

Update.
I'm somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 rounds and the only stoppages I'm getting are hangups on the feed ramp initially charging. Once I'm shooting, 10p% reliable.
Re: combat sighting. That DOES seem to be the case with this gun. As an old Service Rifle shooter, 6:00 is a very difficult habit to break. Combat sighting isn't conducive to best accuracy either.

Just got done shooting.
1) Very reliable. 2 FTFs from about 35 rounds in a brand new gun isn't bad.
2) Very accurate too. Hits VERY low with every 115gr load I have tried, though. Reminds me of my old Arcus HP close in that regard. Looked round the site, and it may be the sights are designed for combat sight picture; place center dot (not top edge of the sight) where you want the bullet to go. Developing story.
3) The delayed blowback mechanism works. Less felt recoil than my Star BM with equivalent loads, almost like a 380 with standard 9mm.
4) Mechanics are odd. Seems like the gun wants to be charged from empty with an open slide. Tactical reloads shouldn't pose an issue, though.
Going to work in a sec, and this will be the carry gun tonight.

Knoxville, exactly. Brand new Generation 2 owner; picked up a black one at Rural King last night. Observations:
1. Takedown is funky; having owned both a Model 12 and 14, I see the Pedersen influence in the breechblock.
2. This gun was test fired at Remington. Good bit of copper fouling in the barrel.
I'm both an NRA Pistol instructor and a State permit instructor. Looking forward to learning about the gun.
