On paper the R51 sounded good. This just doesn't bode well, though...

not sure that any of that is really an issue. gun is +p rated so it probably has a stiff recoil spring. if you don't shoot +p rounds put a different spring. sight would not bother me at all. sight the gun in with the ammo you like and a drop of Loctite will solve that issue. looked for one today at the 1500 did not see any. have been wanting a ruger lcp 9 but think ill but the Remington instead. aluminum frame,+p rated,comes with 2 mags. by the time you buy a spare mag for the ruger your close to the samr price
Reviewing a gun that has never been fired, idiotic. Plus the guy has a full beard full of cooties.
Lcp, Lc9, Lc380 all come with only one mag. Not that its on topic per se.You sure the Ruger comes with only one mag? I've never bought Ruger handgun where it didn't come with two.
Here's the thing. Jeff Quinn of gunblast reviewed it and sang its praises (of course I think he's NEVER posted a negative) and commented on how easy the slide was to manipulate. Methinks quality control seems to be all over the place in early reports.
Hopefully, Remington gets the QC up to snuff with this gun. It looks like the one Mac was holding could have used a bit more attention when it was fitted together. Maybe they are training new machinists and a couple of lesser guns made it out of the factory while QC was busy in training too. The slide fit would not put me off too much, since that will wear in with use, but the sight fit would worry me. If it's that loose when new, how will it fit when there have been 500 rounds and countless bumps and dings done to it?
A new gun out of the factory. It should be good to go before they start selling it. I could understand problems coming up after use because it is new. It shouldn't have problems with the sights and the slide should be great on all the guns. That was one of the selling points, how easy the slide worked. That was one of the things that all the reporters raved about. I was really wanting one of them. I don't know now.
