americanrifleman.org reports that Field Editor Wiley Clapp was “part of an elite group of gun writers that wrung the Remington R51 out at the Gunsite Training Center in Paulden, Ariz.” Although TTAG doesn’t split its infinitives, we’re willing to boldly go where other gun writers go as well. Not this time. The world’s most popular firearms blog wasn’t elite enough for the Big Green gun junket. Even so, after some careful negotiations, we managed to secure a brace of R51s for test and evaluation. Nick’s running one for a full review. I’m putting one into the hands of a newbie for a comparo with the GLOCK brand GLOCK 42. Meanwhile, American Rifleman’s Mark Keefe highlights the fact that the R51’s “backwards” sights allow for one-handed cocking. Even better, you don’t need much oomph to get it done (6.78-lbs of force). Yes, well, I can think of better places to cock a slide than one that puts your fingers in front of the muzzle. You?
