Madison, NC – Design a concealed carry handgun to maximize any user’s shooting ability under the extreme stress of a personal defense scenario: This was the charge of Remington engineers, and the launch of the new Model R51 subcompact marks the proud completion of this multi-year mission.
The Model R51 is a confluence of features chosen specifically to make it extremely easy to point and shoot. Its grip angle has been optimized for rapid target acquisition. The low bore axis design boosts this effect while also aids in offering up to 25% less muzzle rise at the shot for faster, more accurate follow-ups. For comfortable carry, it features a lightweight aluminum frame with rounded edges. With very little force required to rack the slide, an ambidextrous magazine release and a simple grip safety, ease of use was addressed by from butt to bore by Remington engineers.
“The Model R51 is a truly groundbreaking concealed carry pistol, designed to help shooters of all experience levels put more shots where it counts, when it counts most. We wanted to bring something entirely new, with real quantifiable shooter benefits to the concealed carry market, and we’re excited for America to try the Model R51 first-hand,” said Leland Nichols, Senior Vice President and GM of Handguns and Accessories.
The Model R51 subcompact is chambered in 9mm Luger +P (#96430) with a suggested retail price of $420. A second model (#96432) includes a Crimson Trace® Laser Guard® with a retail price of $609. Both will start shipping early Q1.
