Hello everyone.  Been lurking here for a while reading the forums for technical knowledge, figured it was time to join in. 

A little about myself - didn't grow up shooting, but caught the bug in my 20's.  I have a computer engineering background, but my hobby is that I love to investigate the mechanics of firearms with a particular addiction to the less common and more interesting designs - rotating barrels ( Beretta PX4), bullpup (Boberg), and of course Pedersen (R51).

I love the R51, but I have had some pretty bad luck with feeding issues (I have the Smoke Gray version).  Just bought a number of new mags, so hoping to give this guy another try as I really like the profile for possible CC. 

Anyway, happy to be here!
.     Welcome aboard

Did anyone else get a " bandwidth exceeded" message when trying to logon here the last few days of January?
I did also.  Really bummed about it.  I am trying to spend more time here and help create more interaction.  Made me wonder, who owns and runs the joint?  Need any help, financial or otherwise.  I would be willing to make a donation once a year to preclude this ever happening again.

Why buy a R-51 Pistol / Re: More than one R-51

I've got the itch to buy a backup R-51, but I can't decide whether I want a laser equipped (CT Model) $318, Smoke $220, or another Black $211. I currently have a Black Charlotte NC, The CT model with the laser seems like a good out-of-the-box "Bump-in-the-night" companion to my current gun. I'm also curious to see if the later Huntsville guns are any better than the Charlotte guns. My Question is what are the forum's thoughts on a second gun. Anyone have more than one? What was your rationale?
One in black and a 2 Tone.  At todays prices, why not?

I missed the story on Cheaper than Dirt.  What happened?

Just shipped the first barrel of the new run last night, i'll add a notification here when more stock is availa le.

First 10 triggers of the new run came out of the anodizing tank as well, so those will be available shortly as well. Black, gold, blue, and silver for this next batch.
. Everyone is looking forward to the next batch of triggers.   Any word?

Just got an email from Buds gun shop saying my R51 shipped today. I'll pick it up next week.
. Did you pick your R51 up yet?

Anybody that bought one of these CT's from CDNN getting bombarded by emails from them? I think I get more than ones from Buds or RK. Looks like they really got some stuff and must be a pretty good sized outfit, prices seem good & I got one this morning that they still have the Lazer for 29.95 in todays add.
.  I have had good luck with them over the years.  Cheaper than Dirt is another good one.

Where are you thinking of buying it?

Buds Gun Shop has them right now for $219.00.  Hard to beat.

Jake, some of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen were in the AZ desert.  Used to live in Yuma.

The picture of General Patton led me to buying one when they first came out.  We all know how that went.  I waited patiently, and I now have 2 shooters, 1 black and a 2 Tone, both made in Huntsville, AL.
