Greeting fellow firearms enthusiasts. I am joining this forum to learn from others and to hopefully acquire a threaded barrel :D.
I have had a R51 since it was first introduced to the public (among, if not the first procured in the Great Land). I actually had no problems with my Gen 1, it worked pretty well, I put about 600 rounds through it before the recall. I am really happy with my Gen 2, I even shot it at the local concealed carry/law enforcement shoot. Needed less to say my three reloads to everyone else's zero reloads cost me many precious seconds but it was still very fun.
My issue is with the slide release spring/slide release . I will make a post regarding this in general discussion.
Talk to yall later.
Welcome to the forum! Glad to hear both of the Gen 1 and Gen 2 R51s worked well for you. Keep posting your impressions on the forum.
