Holy Catfish, Batman! If it's anywhere near as good as the old Model 51 in ergnomics and low recoil, then I'll have to have several.

The .380 Model 51 is absolutely my favorite small auto to date. It points so well it doesn't really need the teeny sights it's got. Very flat. And it was a pioneer of magazine safety having pistols, but it is easily deactivated. Well, "easy" is a relative term...It seems Remington did not add the manual safety this time, which Pederson thought unnecessary and only added at the behest of the mfg. (All it did was block the grip safety, which seems humorous somehow.)

ETA: Speaking of pocket autos, I've going to pick up the S&W .35 caliber pistol on layaway, whilst seeing if the LGS can get me a new Remington.

Heading that way, right now!
