An aluminum alloy frame and stainless steel barrel and slide combine for a relatively low weight of 22 ounces. The R51 is completely ambidextrous, with magazine release buttons on both sides of the grip and a very interesting approach to an ambi safety. Rather than being a thumb switch, the safety is built into the backstrap. As you take a firing grip on the pistol, the safety comes off without your having to even think about it. But Remington seems to have thought of everything. There\u2019s even a suppressor-ready barrel available as an option. They say that form follows function. If that\u2019s the case, I can\u2019t wait to shoot the new R51.<a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Remington32.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\"

Remington took a page out of that playbook in the design of its newest pistol, the 9mm R51. What today is a beautiful sub-compact concealed carry gun started in 1917 as the Remington Model 51, designed by John Pederson. Pederson was a contemporary of John Browning, who called him \u201cthe greatest gun designer in the world.\u201d Remington based its new gun on the Pederson design, resulting in a pistol with a crisp trigger, reliable action and a low bore to reduce felt recoil.","og_url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/remington-9mm-r51-sub-compact-pistol-the-birth-of-a-new-classic-shot-show-2014\/","og_site_name":"Gun Reviews and News |
