Phew!  I was about to send the men in white coats.

I like it but I have yet to own a remington yet so ill wait for other people to test it out first.

looks like the LC9 little diiferent.. Wonder how the trigger pull is?

After reading up on it more I really like the design.  I'll probably get it; but I really hope they make an R53 similar to the Model 53.  Basically the same gun but chambered in .45....and if WW1 didn't occur the gun that could have put the 1911 design 6 feet under.

The only part I don't like about the look is the front of the gun.  Would look better if they just

kept the lines straight, but I think they did it to smooth it out for concealed carry.

 

Other than that it really does seem like something very unique coming to the market.  I like

the fact that the trigger is a true, straight back pull, single action with an internal hammer.

And the fixed barrel is interesting.  For the price I'd be willing to try it.  

Awaiting...

 

Am I the only one who is completely meh about this?

Nope.

And this.

 

Now that is cool!  I want one, assuming it is NJ legal

For about 400 bux or so, you can have one. Theoretically, they are not legal.

Do you mean legal? What characteristic do they possess that would make them illegal?

A 1 watt laser. Max legal is like .95 milliwatt.

The article mentioned that Crimson Trace was an option. I didn't see anywhere that it was on all of them. Thanks for that tidbit about laser strength. I didn't know about that law.

Jersey has a law on laser power? Really?

Noooo, it's Federal... I forget which. Been that way forever. Should tell ya on the warning labels. Let me rephrase. Illegal without certain research and needs. Google it.

Looks like a modern Makarov. I like it.

So the question I have now...any gun shops got a lead on getting one?  I've got a 2 permits to burn and this is going to be one of them!

I have a P2P and want one too.... I think I read online sometime in February.... Gonna have to get it extended....

Tim from Military Arms channel was just on a live YouTube chat on another users channel from SHOT Show and said this gun feels cheap and seriously  disappointed. Said he was expecting more from Remington and thinks they missed the mark on this one. Guess we will have to wait and see

Was it a preproduction prototype?

I don't think so because they were shooting them on the range

That's disappointing. Hope to see more reviews as they come available.

The damn thing is HUGE

Is that a government sized? I thought the new r51 was supposed to be compact?

Thats the Remingtons full size 1911. The R51 is seriously large. It might be skinny and light, but it is not small. There are some perspective issues there, but it doesn't seem small.

Problem is, how big is the guy's hand? I mean all guns sorta fit people's hands.

 

My guess is that it is bigger then originally thought and smaller then the picture I posted indicates.

In theory it should be just a tad smaller then my semi-equivalent Sig 239, but it looks bigger in pictures.

BARREL: 3.4 inches (walther ppk 3.3)

OA LENGTH: 6.6 inches (walther ppk is 6.2)

HEIGHT: 4.6 inches (walther is 4.3)

WIDTH: 0. 96 inches (1.08 at the slide stop) (walther is 1")

WEIGHT: 20 oz. (no mag) 22.6 oz. (w/empty mag)

 

not much bigger than a ppk and I agree we don't know the guys' hand size but his wrist, based on his watch band holes, looks to be about average size
