Remington R51 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

 The Model R51 is an updated version of the original 1917 John Pedersen designed Remington Model 51.  Unlike the original however, the R51 is chambered in 9mm (the original was available in both 32 and 380ACP). This is an internal hammer semi-auto, and features a 3.4-inch barrel, a grip safety, drift-adjustable rear sights, a carry-melt finish, and a 7+1 capacity. Its "PPK-style" low bore axis is designed to generate less muzzle rise, and also lower perceived recoil. This pistol comes with two flush-mount magazines.

I would buy this gun again, but paid too much in 2016

This gun has great potential and I want to love it, but it does not do well with non premium ammo. It has a low profile and little muzzle rise, but the field-strip is more difficult than so many other 9 mm handguns.

Fantastic concealed carry pistol!

This is a unique firearm using the Pedersen action allowing for +P ammo. It is very accurate with low felt recoil. The slide is so easy to rack that I can do it one handed on my gun belt. Initially, I had some difficulty field stripping this gun, but with

After 500 rounds of Winchester 124 gr fmj no issues. The gun is more accurate and softer shooting than other similar sized pistols I have shot, it just fits better in my hand. With another 500 rounds for confidence it may become my daily carry. I like it,

What Remington and all the gun reviewers didn't tell you about the R51, is that for it to be dependable, you have to shoot P ammo. I have had the R51 since June of 17 and have put several hundred rounds through it. With standard ammo it just doesn't func
