I'm sure the gun rags will praise it to the skies, in articles interspersed with ads for the piece. I can't buy one, but if I were in the market I'd wait till some people here tried it and posted their impressions.
Cynical? Oh, maybe a little.

It looks interesting...but I've pretty much eliminated my gun buying except from companies that are American and provide a lifetime warranty. Last I knew, Remington only had a one year warranty (this was a couple of years ago, when I owned a 1911 R1.) I'm just saying what I like to do, no criticism intended for anyone else's choices.
For the record, I do consider RIA/Armscorp to be sufficiently "American" so I can justify liking and owning their 1911s. (They do have a presence in America, after all...besides, it's MY logic, and it doesn't have to makes sense.)

To me, that is a disgrace to the original 51. New guns are just ugly these days.
I want a gun that size, but it's going to have to be a Mak or a CZ82.

Eh. Old one looked Eh as well. Looked like and Ortgies. Nothing special looking about the old or new and nothing any other single stack 9 doesn't do but I have nothing against them

I still regret that I traded away a Remington 51 in .380 years ago. What a great little gun. Accurate and had that natural pointability like a 1911.
Don't really have any thoughts on the "new" 51's other than I'll give them some time and see how they stack-up.....I really don't have a need for any more .380's or 9mm's so I'm really neutral on 'em.
Having said that ....I would jump at the chance to get another one of the older Model 51's if the price was right.

I think it's pretty cool looking.
Since I've got a Shield, I'm not in the market for a slim 9mm.
But I give Remington credit for trying something different.
It's occurred to me that the long gun market - hunting guns in particular - is probably pretty fixed and stagnant, whereas the concealed carry market is growing by leaps and bounds.

I kinda like the way it looks. I don't have any autoloaders anymore with the exception of Dad's bring-back Nambu, and I'm a traditionalist when it comes to guns, but that one appeals to me for some reason. It does have a bit of a retro look.
But to paraphrase T. Whelen, only autoloaders that work are interesting. Time will tell with that one.
