Remington RP9 and RP45

[tercel89]

While I was disappointed about the Springfield Armory Saint being a regular AR15 I was surprised to find out today that Remington has made a new Polymer pistol called the RP9 and RP45. It looks like an M&P frame with a Canik slide. I saw two different articles on it on the web today. I . But it was interesting to me. The MSRP is below $500 so I am guessing around $435-450 maybe. I don't think anything will be wrong with this pistol like with the R51 since this is a simple striker fired gun without the extra parts like the 51 has. I am very anxious to see it's innards and such. Supposedly from the articles I saw and watched on youtube , it will be released around January . Here's a review on it ..........

The 9 isn't all that interesting to me as I don't see it being anything others aren't. But the 45 is 15+1 capacity. If the grip isn't monstrous, I may be interested.

It does look like an S&W M&P and a Canik had a baby.

It looks like they had an abortion and Ruger copied it.

That thing is hideous.

Oh look, another ugly plastic gun. The market has been anxiously awaiting their arrival.

I dunno, looks more like some of the HKs to me.

Naw...Walther PPQ, M&P, and HK had a three way. This is the result.

Reminds me a lot of an SD9.

"The trigger actually felt better than most polymer pistols I’ve shot. The only other polymer pistol that comes close (trigger wise) is the FNS 9 long slide."

Wonder if he's ever fingered a PPQ...

The article lost credibility to me when it said ".... the grip should fit 95% of shooters."  I find that hard pretty to believe from a 15 round double stack .45.

The thing does look pretty tall though, maybe they stagger the rounds like in the Shield.

Nice to read about but both look like more tactical tupperware  clones to me so unless they're ridiculously inexpensive and run reliably I'm not going out of my way to check one out later.

Looks too much like a S&W M&Pee for me to like. I'll stick to my FNS, thank you.

Wow, that is ugly.

I was able to look at one of these in person today ( January 2017 ) . It is a big "duty size" pistol. The guy at the counter would not remove the trigger-lock mechanism ( store policy I guess ). I was really interested in  looking under the slide to see how the trigger plunger/safety looks but couldn't see much with the slide on. I do like fullsize pistols like the big Glock 21/20 and such. So this was nice to me  but I just couldn't get much of a good grip with that darn store trigger lock on it. I know that Remington hasn't had good luck this year with the R51 but this RP9 looks very sturdy and even seems to have that "overbuilt" type look like the Ruger P-Series had in the earlier years. I guess I'll have to wait to handle another one at a different store to check one more thoroughly.

Meh, more Freedom Group crap. Definitely ugly!
