RK Guns has R51s for $199. Nice price.
That is a good deal....lets see if it gets better😁
I am hoping for prices to dip to $150 or so before I buy again. Especially since they are now no longer a production pistol.
Did Remington announce an end to production???

Not last I heard. But the R51 is noticeably absent from the 2019 PDF catalog available on their website. This has lead to speculation that it is being discontinued.
Peace favor your sword,

RK Guns website says they are sold out of the standard R51 ... they still have the R51 with laser for $399 ...
Bud's Guns has the laser version for $340 ...
I was at our local RK store last month after Zenshot posted they had R51's for $199.00 and indeed see them priced at that. Somehow I resisted as I was pressed for time.
Was there last Saturday 3/2/19 and saw them listed in their sale paper and they were $279.00.
I found 220 for smokes today 03-06-2019 with 10.95 shipping. Not bad!

I bought a CT edition from them back on the 5th and they claim a week to 10 days to ship. I'm a little concerned as I don't think it a matter of waiting for the check to clear as I paid with credit card. I probably would have gotten speedier service from Classic, but I would have paid $30 more. For what I paid I'll give them until Wednesday and the benefit of the doubt.

Just a follow up. Lockedloaded.com did indeed deliver. Just keep in mind they are not fast on shipping..
Have you every tried getting something shipped by Palmetto State? Holy cow...

Actually I've had good luck with Palmetto and Classic Firearms both are firms that most find problematic.
I just had a very fine transaction from Omaha Outdoors! Fast, efficient and good price! I highly recommend!
Guns Midwest: $203.40
Earlier in this thread Cameron asked if the R51 had been officially discontinued. I could not find anything in writing to that effect, but I called Remington directly and whoever the receptionist sent me to said that the pistol has indeed been discontinued
I had a phone call with Remington's R&D guy and Handgun product manager. They're not totally dropping support of the line, but they won't be carrying it in their product line anymore. May not be the end of it, though, more to come in time!
