First time here and glad to say I have an R51 that works. Just started shooting in earnest about 6 years ago, first shot a firearm about 50 years ago. Sadly there were about 41 years that elapsed in-between. Trying to make the best of all those missing years, but it's not easy when the pitfalls of aging begin to set into the bones and muscles. Well, the R51 is one of those pistols that can make it easier for those issues; thanks to low recoil, metal alloy frame and excellent accuracy.
