I have shot my R51 a lot (I just love shooting this little gun), and it feels it has gotten a little better racking with a full mag.
I'm starting to get the impression 1911shooter does not like disassembling his R51
Gun Frog,
You are very astute! I muddle through it about every 4th time I shoot. I also am noticing that I can rack the slide with a full mag,
but it is a chore for these old hands. I still "slingshot" the slide on a full mag. I found some defensive ammo called "Power Ball". It is "Polymer" capped JHP.
Strange thing is, it is it is almost 1/8" shorter, and only 100 GR. It is +P though. Gonna try is this weekend and I'll
Pass any results along..
Blackie
BTW: I am behind the times, evidently this ammo has been around for a while. Don't know how I missed it.

Hey 1911Shooter,
1/8 inch shorter . . . . humm the SAAMI spec on 9mm +p is a min of 1" COL. I am curious can you share what the COL is on those please.
I also am apparently behind the times. I have not heard of Power ball either. I did look it up and noticed it advertises it is designed to feed well.
Looking forward to hearing your impression on this ammo especially with Texas-Mark's observation the bullet seemed to grab the feed ramp.
happy new year
