wow. Very ugly. The 3913 is a much better looking gun.
Orion8472 said:The original R51 DOES have a trigger like a 1911. But the new R-51 has a pin right where you'd expect a hinged trigger to be. I'm hoping I'm wrong and it does in fact have that straight back pull.
The location is not arbitrary, and the size is not completely, the curve at the front, however, is.
And I don't think that making that portion of the slide a millimeter or so slimmer would aid all that much in holstering

That R-51 has an arse that is very similar to the Vektor CP-1:
and the useless ridges on the frame above the trigger,
If the safety works as advertised, they should be as safe as that. But it should have much much more room for improvement as far as trigger feel/quality and perhaps even weight. I'm more curious how well the safety stays disengaged when dropped since that lever looks fairly large/heavy, and inside the holster when someone's belly rolls drip over it as they bend to reach for a newspaper. I'd feel fully confident in the design if I knew there was a firing pin safety set by the trigger (the trigger and grip safties would be opposite force vectors therfore drop-proof). As well done as the concept, layout, and (visual) execution are, it's inconceivable these scenarios weren't extensively tested. I really do think Remington did their homework on this onehow much easier is it for the trigger to be pulled on this gun than. . . a glock or other type guns with only the little plastic toggle on the trigger?
I went to two gun shops here in San Antonio, and no one knew anything about these!
Makes me wonder a little about Remington's PR/Advertising guys.
