Rifleman Review: Remington R51
This "American Rifleman" review focuses on the Remington R51, a semi-automatic sub-compact pistol chambered in 9mm. Released in 2014, the R51 is a modern interpretation of Remington's 1918-1927 Model 51, designed by John E. Pedersen. The video highlights the R51's unique Pedersen hesitation-lock action, which contributes to a lower bore axis and reduced recoil. Key features discussed include its aluminum frame, steel slide, single-action trigger, hidden hammer, passive firing-pin safety, grip safety, and three-dot sight system. The review acknowledges the initial reliability issues that led to a recall and subsequent fixes by Remington. The description also promotes various NRA publications and resources.
