R51 General Discussion / Re: Customizing R51's

Probably in the brown to desert tan color range.
Trying to gather all my stuff before doing this.
Would be nice if I could add one of Cameron's triggers to this list.

R51 General Discussion / Customizing R51's

Looking to Trick out one of my R51's and looking for thoughts and ideas.
Were Talking my black R51 with my CT on it. I want to have the the upper slide "Cerakoted & while I am at it change the sights with something from Dawson with a lower front sight.
If we ever get triggers available that was on my list as well.

Question does anybody think there will be a problem with the sight install that will damage/scratch the Cerakote finish?

What has anybody else done to their's

You can check out Dawson's you tube video.
I'm getting ready to order a couple front sights from him for both my R51's

I wound up getting a Desantis Mini Scabbard but it wasn't for the R-51 it was for one of the Rugers. Don't have the model# but can dig it up if you need it.

Desantis didn't offer one for with CT but another member here did a thread with comparison photos layered over an R51 of said Ruger, probably can do a search.

I keep watching for Cameron and an announcement since his last post, so I check in everyday to see if he's been around these parts lately.

Still anxiously awaiting

Yes bought one of those for a spare at that price a while back. Some others here did also.
put one on my black gun a year or so ago. Got a Smokie but don't want to put a laser on it.

I have 2. A black I put a laser on and a Smoky without although I did get an extra laser just incase. Both are Huntsville. Actually had the Smokey over a year and just ran my first box of ammo through it and it preformed flawlessly. Did not try 7+1.

I'll be watching for the announcement, put me down for 2.

My 357 magnum is a Model 15-2, wow haven't looked into them for a while & see they are going for at GB.com.
When I bought mine mid-80's I got it brand new Model 15-2 with an 8" heavy barrel. so the model 15-2VH8 (vent/heavy/8")
Guy I hunted with had a 357 pistol pac with several barrels & case.
Almost got a 357 Super Mag but wound up with the 44 Mag.
Looked for a shorter barrel few years back to see about making it a possible cc gun but didn't find one. Have to keep an eye out for one again.

Has anyone tried any of the Legend 9mm JAP or HAP JHP ammo?
They have bags of 100 for 29.99 & 34.99.

I did a search and didn't hear anything bad except it said the cases were steel even though they looked brass. Bud's has it listed as Brass Case?

thank's

I have 2 I got in the 80's. Both are Dan Wesson's.

I fell in love with the removable barrels. I have a 357 & 44, I have 2 - 8" barrels for each gun. One "heavy" barrel and One standard barrel without the heavy lug & T/C Red dot scopes.

Mounted on "ironsighter" see through mounts.

Mostly used for hunting but had a love affair shooting bowling pins and such for a while.

I did too for several days, had me wondering what was up.

Was over at Cameron's website and it looks like barrels and triggers are on the way.
Don't know when it was updated, thought he would have posted here.

R51 General Discussion / Re: racking a full mag
February 02, 2020, 07:56:32 AM
I tried doing a rack of a full mag once and it jammed that first round. Since then I lock the action open lock in the mag and release the slide and everything works fine. I have 2 a black and a smokie and will wait to try that again till both guns are good and broken in.

My local Walmart I see has shotgun shells on the shelf in an open isle but never walked down to look since they re-arranged the sporting goods department and moved and shrunk the gun display cases.

I have usually been buying my 9mm at Rural King as I go there about once a month, pretty good selection and prices are reasonable for on the shelf.
I was in there last week and was looking for 9mm defensive rounds and they didn't have any.
The sales guy said just check back they get ammo in everyday.
Anybody have any recommendation for defensive rounds? My other thought was get some dies as I still have my reloading setup but haven't used in years.

thanks
