Title: Intro
Post by: GMG/RhoVet/AFP on March 14, 2017, 02:54:46 AM
  I have shot and maintained Thompsons.  So I am familiar w/the Blish system.  Have been a military small arms instructor and chief range officer of a pistol range.  Have been an NRA certified fireams instructor, and civilian range officer at a club in S Fla.
  I have used/carried a handgun (usually a .45) in military, paramilitary and civilian work, abroad and at home.
  Interested in buying an R-51, but am really put-off by the crunchy trigger w/little or no over-travel.  Otherwise, the gun is VERY attractive to me. . .

GMG,
     Forget the trigger,  This is a fun gun to shoot.  I own several "Fun Guns"  that I shoot for kicks.  Trust me, GMG, this little gun will grow on you. 
More fun than a barrel of 1911s!
