Bye-bye Remington R51----RIP?

[RugersGR8]

Looks like Remington didn't do their homework, leg work, R&D, etc. to get this 9mm pistol off the drawing board, into production and make it successful. I guess they got lucky on the Remington 1911 .45 pistol. But then there isn't too much to screw up on with a John Browning designed handgun that has been in production for over 100+ years.

Wow! What a shame, it was a nice looker.

 

[Hoov]

Oh no, their 1911s had some issues. There was a small recall because the hammer would follow.

really? they look like one of those toy guns that shot plastic disks when I was a kid

 

[Hoov]

I swear this is the Friends and Framily kid. I hope he put it back together correctly so it doesn't fire out of friggin' battery!

Oh man, you're right! I had forgotten all about those "Tracer Guns" - I had them as well when I was a kid

 

[Hoov]

Holy Crap! It does look like those toy guns. Except the toys worked.

I'll buy one if I can find it.

You should be able to pick one up for about half price or less. I don't think anyone has had a favorable review of one.
