I like it! Lets just hope Remington makes enough to go around. It took me forever to get my hands on an S&W Shield.

I like the fixed barrel and the SA trigger.
I would like to shoot one to see how it fits my hands.
For those that don't like the grip safety, you could maybe have it pinned, but with the trigger the way it is, I wouldn't. It is one thing when you have something like a Glock type trigger, but a SA trigger with an always cocked trigger and no safety, AD waiting to happen in a pocket pistol.
I suspect the grip safety, being the only safety on this pistol, will take a substantial squeeze ala HK P7 to allow the weapon to fire. Just a guess. Id be nervous as hell carrying a cocked/unlocked single action auto without SOMETHING between me and crispy 3.5 lb. disaster.

From what I understand it will be an audible sound when pressed.
trigger is listed as 5.5lbs. same as a glock, s&w, springfield, etc.
also, nothing preventing you from making the trigger 30lbs and the grip safety 50lbs if you want.
This made me giggle...
Only having a grip safety would allow it to be able to be put into action quickly. But quite frankly, it doesn't appeal to me because it only has a grip safety. Although some might, I wouldn't want to only rely on the grip safety of a 1911.
I give Remington credit for building something different. But too bad they couldn't build a conventional safety into it for those who might prefer to have one.
However it just might become a classic collectible if its production doesn't last very long.
It appears to me to plasticized, striker fired space gun - I can do with out it. I don't see a hammer.
Enter the R51 Sub-Compact—a modern, concealable pistol with the ability to handle +P factory ammunition. The R51 uses a hammer-fired, Pedersen action with a locked breech and fixed 416 stainless steel barrel. It also features drift-adjustable sights and an aluminum frame with 25 lines-per-inch checkering on the front grip strap.
I guess someone didn't read it anything about it and just made an ignorant assumption.
Happy to be proven wrong - I stated what I saw in the picture- still dont like it.
I would take one of the originals over that one any day.
