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.

R51 General Discussion / racking a full mag
January 17, 2020, 01:42:46 PM
I initially stumbled on to this forum looking for a solution to the racking issue of a full mag with the slide closed.
Being a newbie, I acquiesced to the general conclusion that it "shouldn't" be done. Sort of related is the 7 + 1 full load, racking 7, ejecting the mag and loading the extra and snapping it back in.
Doing that,- seemed- on my last few tries, did lock up the firing on #2/8.
Not to beat a dead horse, but I've been having success, with a little elbow grease, to rack a full mag from the closed slide position, both mags- out of the box- without modifying their springs... (gen 2)
I'll have more to say when I can get out a test fire with them loaded that way. I won't try 8 again, simply too unreliable.
The only ammo I've tried so far is the Remington 115/brass. Works good.
Just found out this week too,- that Walmart stopped carrying 9mm ammo (NM only), and other local sporting goods stores can't seem to keep it stocked,- they've jacked their prices up on it too, so... if you're planning on doing any test shooting in NM, bring plenty of ammo with you, don't try to buy it here

Introductions section / new here, first post
January 14, 2020, 07:06:44 PM
Greetings all:
-from the northern mountains of New Mexico
-returning to my home, the great sovereign state of Texas, at the end of this week.
I found this site when researching online some of the issues that have troubled me with this gun, common stuff, that I will post later in those particular forums.
I'm somewhat new to shooting as the R-51 is my first gun, purchased last July. I think it's a good gun, but having no experience with other models, I suppose a little bias maybe could be admitted.
See ya in the "loading 7 + 1" and "racking slide" forums.
