Remington brings back their Model 51

[Greg]

They're out, and word of mouth is terrible.

Common complaints are that the rear sight dovetails are too large so the rear sights slide out under finger pressure, front sight dovetails too small and front sights that look hammered in, cycling so badly they're hard to even manually rack, weird trigger with no reset indication.... Generally sloppy design, poorly put together and not reliable. Excellent combination.

One *favorable* review was that his was perfect, but wouldn't go into battery using only the slide release- only way to get it into battery was slingshot.

Bummer. Usually you have to go to a Fiat dealer or any government healthcare entity to get that kind of quality right out of the gate.
So it appears poker is not their game. I know, let's try a spelling bee.

Never, and I mean absolutely never, buy any functional product in the first year of production if you really need to have it work. Let some other "early adopters" be the guinea pigs while they get their production issues worked out.

See how they are in a year or two.

My Crossbreed IWB holster used to unseat the mag on my PF-9 until I drilled a hole where the release button had indented the leather.

Still interested in a threaded model, which I dont believe theyre making yet. Maybe theyll move production down to Huntsville on it.

Still interested in a threaded model,

Threading is easy. Making the damn thing work right is another story.

Also, they're not exactly tiny..

They're not big though

It's roughly the same size as Glock 19.

[First Shirt]

It's slimmer than the Glock.
It's not plastic.

If they can get the bugs worked out (hope springs eternal) I'll have to buy two, one for The Boss. She loves her .357s, but this would be easier to conceal.

There is more size difference between it and the G19 than it and the Shield.
