I too have struggled with the reassembly, especially with my old weak hands.  The first time I tried it took me at least 15 minutes to get it on and I was not sure what l did to make it go on.  After spending some time practicing l found that if l get to the point where the slide stops, l change my grip to an overhand grip and then proceed to rack the slide.  This will push the barrel forward slightly and allow the firing pin block to rock down and slide over top of the frame rails.

Thanks DanOh. 

Just got my holster for my R51 in from MultiHolsters.  It's a comfortable little kydex IWB.  Paid an additional $5 for the Coyote Brown Kydex, I like it.





The R51 is now a part of my carry rotation...

I am waiting on a IWB Kydex holster from Multi Holsters.  They offered the R51 as an option so I figured I would try it out.

It's almost ready to ship, I will post pics when it arrives.

When I was a kid I was messing around in my Father's closet and found a Remington M51 in .380.  It was jammed and on his top shelf (wasn't easy for me to get up there, let me tell you).  I had never held a pistol before but the take-down process seemed natural to me and before long I had the slide off and the breech cleared.

When I took it to him to show him what I had done, the color drained from his face......

Fast forward to my 18th birthday and that M51 was my gift from my Father.  I carried it on and off for years until my useless dog hating booze hound of an ex-wife claimed that it was stolen from her while we were separated.  I still think to this day that she has it.

Now, Remington re-released the R51, modeled after the M51.  The MINUTE one was available to me I purchased it.  I have maybe 200 rounds through it and have had no issues.  I know several other folks through various forums that have many more rounds through their R51 also with no issues.

I have a IWB Kydex holster coming from Multi Holsters, and when it arrives my new R51 will take it's place in my carry rotation.....
