Thanks for the suggestions. The slide appears to be "frozen" but I'll give it a try.

Chip,
Were you able to get it unstuck?

Yes. Using a bigger hammer is not always the right approach with gunsmithing.

Good availability of 9mm here.  Retail is still pricey, but there's plenty to buy.

Welcome!
Lots of good information particular to the R51 here.
I also own two.  If I could one with the grey frame for sale, I would have three.

Texas,
So I had to look up what a kringle is.

Once you get the hang of disassembly and reassembly, it's easy and reliable.

Welcome to the forum!  We will answer any questions you might have about your R51.  Let us know how you like the R51 after shooting a few magazines.

I have two favorites for mine. For carrying Iwb with no undershirt, I use a N8 holster.  Otherwise I use an Aliengear 3.5.  I might get a Kydex holster from Cook's Holsters because it's available with leather belt loops in place of the belt clip.

Both of mine shoot to point of aim, fortunately.  I've given up on loading it to 7 + 1. Even with the mags that do not bind, it's still not 100% chambering the second round.  All the mags run 100% loaded 6+1, which is good why I can confidently carry it when loaded that way.

Welcome!  The color looks cool

Mine has a similar alignment and is all original.  It hasn't resulted in any issues.

Buds Gun Shop sent an email today advertising R51 magazines for just under 15 bucks each.

The slide stop lever should slip under the wire spring, unless the spring is bent and not sitting in the correct position.
