Oh. That would suck!! Glad it didn't go off!! Accidents happen so quickly....I think you and I have proven they don't fire when dropped on the rear of the frame Thank God!!

Sounds like a Great plan to me guys!! Just to clarify though, there isn't one iota of a mark on my pistol,just the floor!! Lol

No. She was really afraid that she could have killed me and felt horrible. I of course was more worried about my new R51 having a gouge on it or something!! Lol. The incident was definitely not intentional, but it shows you just how quickly someone can be killed. I'm sure as he'll glad it PASSED the drop test and didn't discharge!!!!

My Serial number is H009677R51 mfg. March 2017.

OK. So this just happened. My wife was handing my gun back to me out of her purse. I only had it in a remora holster. She grabbed it upside down and it fell out and hit hard on the hard wood floor upside down. The gun didn't fire and not a mark on it. The floor has a bit of a gouge in it though. Lol. So consider the R51 drop tested from about 4ft. Not intentionally mind you.

I found out from Remington, that mine was made March  2017. Maybe that can help you guys out with yours. ☺

Thanks. Much appreciated. Emailed Remington today. I'll let you guys know what I find out.

Ok. Thankyou. I'll do that.

My Huntsville R51does exactly what you described.

Ok guys I hope you can help me with this. I bought my R51 on Saturday. I like it alot and it has functioned 100 percent out of the box. It was made in Alabama and the serial number is H0096xxR51. Can anybody tell me how to find out the manufacturing date? I really appreciate your time guys. Thankyou.
