Remington Made A Pistol? (R51 Gen 2)

Remington R51 Gen 2 Overview and Range Introduction

The video opens with an introduction to the Remington R51 Gen 2, Remington’s modern entry into the subcompact concealed carry market. It is based on the early-1900s Remington Model 51 designed by John Pedersen, retaining the unique operating system and stationary barrel concept while updating it for contemporary shooters. The host explains that the original Model 51 never became a commercial hit but remains popular with collectors, and the R51 aims to modernize that legacy. On the range, the R51 chambered in 9mm is described as a cool, all-metal pistol that shoots fairly softly, though its recoil is slightly more noticeable than some competing subcompacts. The pistol features three-dot white sights, a slim yet full-length grip that prevents pinky overhang, and a 7+1 capacity. A long backstrap grip safety serves as the only manual safety, and the trigger is characterized by some take-up and a subtle but acceptable reset appropriate for a defensive carry handgun.

Ergonomics, Trigger Characteristics, and Carry-Oriented Features

The next section focuses on the Remington R51 Gen 2’s controls, trigger, and concealed-carry details. The trigger has a bit of take-up before a defined wall, followed by a break and a reset that is noticeable enough for practical shooting yet intentionally subdued for a carry role. The pistol includes ambidextrous, low-profile magazine and slide releases that remain easy to actuate while minimizing bulk under clothing. On the range, the R51 shows slightly more felt recoil than some alternatives but remains very manageable, running reliably with 124-grain 9mm ammunition. The three-dot white sights are easy to acquire, and the rear of the slide is rounded to reduce snagging during the draw. A flat front sight face allows one-handed racking off a belt or surface, and a loaded chamber indicator cut provides quick visual confirmation. The roughly 3.5-inch barrel, two included 7-round magazines, and long grip safety that must be depressed for the approximately 6-pound trigger pull all reinforce its concealed-carry orientation.

Final R51 Impressions and Zenith Z5P Giveaway Package

This segment begins by wrapping up impressions of the Remington R51 Gen 2, emphasizing its roughly six-pound trigger pull as typical for concealed carry pistols. The host describes the R51 as a fun, reliable handgun that has been selling well, reinforcing its appeal as a practical everyday carry option. Attention then shifts to the featured giveaway: a Zenith Z5P 9mm pistol. The Z5P is shown equipped with a Jimtech suppressor, an SB Tactical brace, and a Vortex Crossfire red dot optic. A Franklin Armory binary trigger installed in the Z5P is explained in detail, with three positions—safe, semi, and binary. In binary mode, the firearm discharges on both the pull and release of the trigger while remaining legally semi-automatic. This setup is highlighted for rapid double taps and mag dumps. The host notes the Vortex Crossfire’s VIP warranty, referencing a positive replacement experience, and points out the claw mount, 1/2x28 threaded barrel for suppression, and the inclusion of three 30-round magazines in the giveaway package.
