Any News on the R51?

[graycrait]

After reading Tercel89s review of the latest greatest handgun I was reminded of the R51 catastrophe and their promise to replace 1st Gen guns that were turned in with something that worked.

 

Anyone seen the new and improved R51 or heard anything recent on the status?

Haven't heard a thing about it....or their RM380 that's been out since the R51 fiasco, but the 380 seems like a dandy little pistol.  Feels pretty solid from the one or two I've seen.

 

Not sure if you wanted two different responses but you did ask the question twice.  :P

The "new" R51 still figures prominently on Remington's site:

If Remington can fix and produce the R51 in a reliable form I want one of those.  I actually like the idea of the full length grip safety and liked the feel of the gun when I first felt one. I'm not sure if Remington can make it durable and reliable though.  I'm afraid they have lost their way and can't get find their way back.
