The Remington R51 Gen 2, despite a troubled Gen 1, shows promise with a unique 'ray gun' aesthetic and a Peterson hesitation lock action. During testing with 600 rounds of various 9mm ammo, it experienced only one malfunction. While accurate and featuring a light trigger, its complex disassembly and widespread community reliability concerns lead to a recommendation as a range or collection piece rather than a primary self-defense firearm.

The Remington R51 Gen 2 is critically reviewed, with the speaker deeming it a commercial failure. While Gen 2 updates improved reliability over Gen 1, the design's aesthetics are criticized, and the Pedersen action makes field stripping difficult. Its weight and capacity are unfavorable compared to competitors like the Glock 26 or Walther CCP, despite a low bore axis.

The Remington R51 Gen 2, a modernized version of the 1917 Model 51, was tested with over 500 rounds across various ammunition types. While accurate and ergonomic, the Gen 2 version suffered from significant reliability issues, particularly with lighter loads and steel-cased ammunition, experiencing frequent nose-dive malfunctions and light primer strikes. Hotter NATO and +P loads showed improved performance, but the overall conclusion is that the R51 Gen 2 is not reliable enough for self-defense.
