To be honest, I suspect most people do not think of Remington when it comes to the topic of handguns. Rifles? The Model 700? Of course. Shotguns? How about the Model 870, right? But this is unfair as the company has a long history of producing popular handguns. From the 1858 New Army blackpowder revolver to the .41 rimfire double derringer to the Model 51 in .32 and .380 ACP to the 1911s it produced for the United States government, Remington is a company that knows its way around a handgun. So, with the introduction of the new RP9, the company is both building on tradition as well as blazing a new path.

Published: January 3, 2017 { 58 comments }While I was testing the Kel-Tec PF-9, everyone I encountered fell into three camps: Those who simply hated the brand, those that felt the gun was such a strong value that perhaps it should replace precious metals as a form of physical currency, and those who had never formed an opinion of the pistol at all.
