Well, I placed 4 on order in February of 2014 with my local dealer. Back in May of this year I decided to cancel and get the $400 I put down as a deposit back as it looked as if there was no hope in sight and I live close the the Ilion plant which was telling me that Remington was going to abandon the product. Due to my lack of having my *hit together, I never got around to it. Dealer called me yesterday to inform me that I had the oldest order in the major eastern distributor for them and was shipped the first commercial product out of that distributor. They were sitting on his counter and when would I be in to get them?

I have 5 original Model 51 380s (two complete with boxes) so I am pretty excited to finally get the newest Pederson legacy. Two of the R51s have consecutive serial numbers. Being that this is the land of Cuomo, I will need to wait till Tuesday to get my new R51s.

Pretty awesome, I did go and look at them. They are a bit wider that the original and do not have the same grip feel the 51s are noted for. Much lighter though.

Will let you all know how it turns out when I finally shoot them. I expect they will be widely available soon.
