Title: R51 Advocate in Cincinnati
Post by: runuts on June 13, 2020, 08:25:59 AM
I've been around the forum for several years, and tried registering several times in the past , but for whatever reason wasn't able to do so successfully.

The Gen 1 R51 didn't make it to Cincinnati before being recalled, so I had to patiently wait for the Gen 2 to be released.   Snatched one up as soon as they reached my local gun store.   It's my everyday carry,  and I've put a few thousand rounds through it.   

100% reliable if I load the magazine and rack the first round.   If I load 7 + 1, it has trouble clambering the second round.   Hoping to fix this.  Have added a Dangerco trigger,  and would like to add the threaded barrel,  if these ever come back.

Have been so happy with the gun,  I convinced several friends to add one, also. My only real complaint is the gun has always fired a bit to the right (adjustable) and a bit low (not adjustable).

Welcome and glad to see you finally officially got on the forum!  Make sure you cut those magazine follower legs for 7+1.
