myhatinthering 462 Posted December 28, 2018 I'm itching to pull the trigger on this as I dig the looks, after initial hiccups the redesign reviews are stellar, it's cheap, and the original was outstanding. Downside, it's new Remington but at $250?..... https://www.gunbuyer.com/remington-r51-9mm-3-4-barrel-7-1-smoke-gray-black-96234.html?utm_source=GunBuyer.com+Newsletter&utm_campaign=c48cd09fd1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_12_27_07_34&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_4243491712-c48cd09fd1-122884777&mc_cid=c48cd09fd1&mc_eid=8b10fe7e76 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PK90 3,570 Posted December 28, 2018 I shot one before. It was accurate. BIG pain in the ass to disassemble. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely not px4 easy to disassemble for sure I have the xds and a snubnose already but I did the design of this and the original was an excellent firearm. They probably should have kept it in .380 and there would be no problem but the reintroduced models are apparently very well received. For 250, it's a throw away Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New modern design of a reliable and well regarded classic at a very low price point. Reviews are great, ergonomics are good, delayed blowback design and compact. Seriously considering hitting this tonight. Iv'e been 'seeing Steve' quite a bit lately...lol Have to tell him a new FN 15 SPR tactical is on the way now... but this new handgun is $250!

Plus, you can use it to pound nails and bludgeon bad guys. I like my HiPoints. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Screwball 483 Posted December 28, 2018 Can find the original Remington 51 (.380) for like $600 to $650 on GunBroker... I’m sure they work well. If Remington wanted to put out a gun like the original (successful carry gun), you cannot screw it up. Definitely can’t screw it up the second time. Only Remington pistols I’ll buy have to be on my C&R. Even that Rohrbaugh thing they did wouldn’t interest me... but to be fair, the original Rohrbaugh wouldn’t interest me, either.
