Remington R51 Review
The Remington R51, a subcompact 9mm pistol based on John Pedersen's early 20th-century design, suffers from severe reliability issues including out-of-battery firings, light primer strikes, and feeding failures. Despite an interesting historical mechanism and a slim profile, internal machining flaws and a mushy trigger with poor reset detract from its performance. Due to significant safety and functional concerns observed across multiple samples, the R51 is not recommended for self-defense or concealed carry.
