A thousand-round review, with no real problems.

I have heard they are better, but I still am not sure why I would want one.  Trying to remember handling one at a gun show years back after the first release and it seemed large for a single stack 9mm though lightweight. 

I'll have to take a look next time I see one at the store.  Remington sure seems determined to sell this pistol.

The 2 independant reviews I read from people who were gunners and vloggers who bought one out of their own pockets said they were still not anything you would to depend on to save yer life as they both experienced multiple failures.

I actually handled the Remington R51 today at a gun shop.  Visually, it seemed OK.  Physically I'd say it was about Makarov size.

Cycling it by hand, oh, boy!   Definite hitch halfway through the process.  Probably where that free floating breech block thing disconnects.  I hope this gets better with wear in and appropriate lubing.

Give it a couple years in the field.  I'll stick with my XDS.
