The R-51 will be shipping to dealers on February 1st. After the range session we all got together with the Remington reps and discussed the pistol for an hour or so. None of us really had any significant changes we thought should be made. I don't know of one writer that didn't like this new pistol myself included.

Its good to see accessories are out for this already, especially grip options. I also see they've worked with Galco on holsters:
