I'm one of those guys who had the first R51. I let them have it back for a refund a couple of years ago. I bought a new R51 on Sept. 23. This morning was my 4th trip to the range. None of the trips were flawless, but none of them were as frustrating as those with the Gen 1 R51. I still get the dimpled primer, but it doesn't trouble me. Most of the failures I've experienced were a failure to feed on the last or next to last round of a magazine.
After 264 rounds, I deem her "broken in." For the last 8 consecutive magazines, there has been no failures!
My R51 is pretty accurate. Muzzle flip is minimal. Every round so far has been 115gr FMJ. Next up will be JHP ammo.
So far, I've had no luck with the Gen 1 magazines.
