I saw that, have not researched the price though. Just wonder if they will be competitive with Ruger and Keltec.
I think Gunblast has a review, I will have to dig to find it.
MSRP on Remington.com is $420, so the LGS price will be lower.
However, several recent reviews not paid for by Remington pointed out a bunch of flaws in the gun. Take a look around and you'll see what I mean.
forgive me, but you threw it out here, so you're responsible for providing a viable cite or two, as the case may be.
tis the neighbourly thing to do!
'sides you might work for Glock, Colt, etc., and doing a neg ad campain

Well it's not a Glock so it must suck, right?

Does this help? Highlights:
Physically painful to shoot.
No perceptible trigger reset.
Not following the reassembly instructions perfectly could result in a dangerous gun.
Other than that it's great...LOL.
The problem is that the breakdown is complex and reassembly is worse. AND it's possible to reassemble the gun wrong. Like completely reassembled and shoot a couple rounds with parts installed wrong. According to the review, it just stops functioning randomly when that happens. Something you don't want to trust your life to. Just be sure you put it back together the right way I guess.
The truth about guns printed a absolutely horrible bias review of the Hi Point C9. But almost every review other than theirs raves about it. TTAG cannot be trusted to post a non bias review, I wouldn't doubt if the are recieving funds from competitors. Gun Blast did a very favorable review of the R51. I would take his word any day over TTAG, same for Irag Veteran. But then maybe TTAG are more Glock snobs, since they referenced a Glock.

Iraqveteran hasn't even done a review of it, just a simple look at it from shot show. The top link above is a nice product announcement promo. The bottom is from Remington. Neither is a review. And while I love gunblast, he's a lot like Hickock45. He never really says anything bad about any gun he shows. That's fine cause I really like his articles and videos. But to be honest, he's always very positive about pretty much everything he shoots.
Give it about a year and they'll work out the bugs and it will be a good option. No reason to over gush for something before then.
