\"R51-BeautyShot\"<\/a>While you have probably been reading a lot about Remington’s new R51 handgun on the Internet you may not realize that this pistol operates very differently from the most popular handguns on the market. It is essentially a modification of an old blowback design – The Pedersen Design – used on the original model 51<\/a>. Blowback style handguns typically have slides that are very hard to retract but the locked breach of the Pedersen design makes slide operation much easier.<\/p>\n

Unlike the other gun writers which have been reporting on this pistol, I was not present for its unveiling at Gunsite<\/a>. I declined the invitation to hunt. (Shame on me.) At any rate, you can expect a full review of this handgun in Shooting Illustrated magazine<\/a> very soon. I have one o the way and it will get a intense workout \u00a0by my wife, my son and me here at Shadowland. Reports form those I trust have been positive. We shall soon see what this pistol is made of.<\/p>\n

I hear Galco<\/a> even has holsters ready to go. Imagine that!<\/p>\n
