Later in the range session I found that the Remington R51 is in some ways worse. You can insert the magazine on a closed slide, but I defy most folk to rack it from there. Investigations showed that the follower is all but bottomed out once seven rounds are loaded, so there is little or no give in the stack. By contrast, the mags on my PPS M2 allow the stack to be pressed down about 75% of a round diameter when loaded to capacity. Different design philosophy, apparently.
