My R51 performed flawlessly for 150 rounds of 115 grain Federal ball ammo.  I did put some ladder step non slip tape (it is made by 3m and you can get a roll of it for 11 bucks) in front of the trigger guard to put the index finger of my left hand in front of the trigger guard for a much better control of the R51.  Proper grip is critical to accurate shooting.  I must say that the R51 is the most comfortable shooting pistol I have ever fired.  After 150 rounds thru the defensive pistol course my hand was not even tired.  I did wear a wrist brace that I bought at big 5.  I feel much more confident with my R51 after taking this defensive pistol course.  One must practice with perfect technique to be proficient.  I hope I never have to use my R51 to defend myself or the innocent, but if I have to I will use it.  Hope that day never comes!!

Speed and accuracy under pressure.  Easy to get fliers, and hard not to feel awkward.  Had to shoot with both hands, left hand, right hand, behind barricade, on left knee, then switch right knee, while shooting the whole time and checking over left shoulder, then right shoulder!  What a tough course to pass!!!!!

This is the course I took=http://www.roguepg.com/defensive-pistol-1
A very humbling experience.  I barely passed the test at the end of the course.  The course ran from 9am to 4pm with an hour break for lunch and two 20 minute breaks (one morning, on break in the afternoon).  150 rounds thru my R51.  No FTF.  I will practice what I learned  with snap caps (A zoom snap caps) dry firing until I feel I have the defensive pistol techniques that I learned down pat.  Then I will re-take the course.  I am a humbled shooter that with practice, will become a true "gun fighter"!

I will be taking this coursehttp://www.roguepg.com/defensive-pistol-1 with my R51 pistol on July 21st.  Will give a report on how my R51 and I did!

I am now the proud owner of a 2nd generation Remington R51 pistol(attached photos).  I am a lifetime NRA member.  Have held a Master rating in NRA Highpower competition.  I have a CCW and carry my R51 in a fannypack.  I  will be taking a defensive pistol course in a couple of weeks with my new R51.  Yes, I have broken it in and purchased and xtra mag for it.  My R51 ran without a hiccup for 150 rounds.  Great pistol.  Glad to be a member of this forum!
