Hey, all,
I was just surfing around the internet, and came across this site. I didn't know there was a dedicated forum for the R51. I wanted one from the first time I saw some pics of its SHOT-show debut. Then came the problem stories, the recall, and all that. After the re-issue, I finally bought one, maybe about 2-1/2 years ago, now. I love the size, shape, and looks. The trigger is nothing to write home about. I'm disappointed at the scarcity of accessories and parts offered, by Remington or others. I've bought a couple of inexpensive grip-panel sets from eBay, and that's about it. I really thought this would become a popular pistol, but it seems to have settled into a rather small niche.
Anyway, hello. I'm glad to be here.
