    Yeah, I was a bit disappointed by that too. I thought initially "Great, maybe a modern reliable .32 and .380". Nope another 9mm and .40 added to an endless sea of them. I understand Remington is breaking into the pistol market, perhaps they should try to be a bit more different?

    I'll tell you, I'm pretty amped by the new Remington pistol! It's a very very rare commodity on today's market- an all-steel single-action auto that's not a 1911 or BHP! Amazing! If you watch the gun being fired it's hard not to be impressed by how "flat" the gun runs. Bore axis is the lowest I can ever remember seeing...lower than a Glock. Remington has a pretty good track record of not selling a gun until it works, too. I'm gonna be waiting to see one in person but I'm excited.

    Yep, so rare I still don't think it exists. The r-51 will be aluminum, unless there is a higher end version I couldn't find.

    I like the design (and the price) so much that I tried to order one today. My gun guy told me not to hold my breath. He says that once it's actually produced and on the market, it probably won't be certified as "Mass Compliant" for quite some time. Our attorney general sucks.

    Doh! I noticed that after I posted. Somehow I thought it was all steel. But to tell you the truth I'm glad it's allow- much lighter. And poly framed 9mms have proven to last for decades so I don't foresee any issues with the aluminum ones.
