Along with every other issue it has had, correct ?
Out of the thousands of other guns out there what is the draw of any Remington handgun?? It' nice looking but I myself would have no interest in it.
Whatever floats your boat.

Utterly reliable so far.
After the introductory fiasco, the knives were out for any flaw in the re-introduced pistol. I would personally not buy one of the guns made with reworked frames and slides from the original Charlotte production, but I have not read bad reports on the Huntsville guns. People just seem to have a difficult time getting over their initial impression of a product.
Once the original R51s were shown to have problems, people got silly trying to demonstrate other issues with the gun. Here is a video of how terribly difficult it is (not) to reassemble an R51.
The R51 is still on Remington's website and Remington has made no announcement, in spite of many, many months of speculation and scuttlebutt that it has been discontinued.
The RM380 is excellent, with an American mag release and better recoil springs compared to the original thousand-dollar Rohrbaugh design.
The P226 barrel cams down against the steel frame insert- but yes they can suffer from guide rail splitting if not properly greased on high mileage examples.
Looks like that one was lubed with sand. Mine has some paint scraped off but doesn’t look that bad. I do like to run it wet because of all the contact surfaces.
Good Lord, man! What were using as lubricant 320 grit grinding compound?
The fella who posted that pic said he shot the gun straight out of the box, without lubing first. His was a 2014 production gun, so that could have been the result of a mis-fitted breech module or other dimensional problem with the frame.
