Just ordered one from
GunProDeals for $209.00 +14.95 S&H. So for $224.94 I'll give it a try, I was always interested in the Pederson action, and for that price it won't be a bad investment in learning.
Just FYI when you go to GunProDeals it will show $239.00 for the price until you add it into the cart then it will reflect the $209.00 price. CAVEAT: I've never done business with them, so we'll see how they do.

In my reading in the past it seems like getting past the magazine issues solves a majority of the problems that people were having. Hopefully that is the case and that Remington has resolved most of these magazine issues. I believe there is 3 different magazine follower/spring designs out there for the R51. There are some who have modified the posts on the underside of the follower and have had good results. We'll see, but regardless for $225, it seemed like a no brainer, especially since it is a different design in the world of vanilla striker fired pistols, and kudos to a manufacturer who is trying to bring something different to the market. I just wished it would have got off the ground in 2014 better than it did.
