New Remington Pistol

[skosh69]

Looks like the pistol that James Bond always had in the early movies....was that a Walther????

It actually looks pretty cool to me. I like the checkered frontstrap, but it looks like that slide will bite you. I'll wait and see. Once enough people buy one and they get the bugs worked out I'll probably grab one.

It does look a bit odd but kudos to Remington for getting back into the pistol design business. Not much original about their 1911s...They haven't really designed a pistol since what? 1917?...unless you count the XP-100 and that was 1963 - over 50 years ago.

The pistol has some interesting features like the 1911 style trigger system, and the fixed barrel.

I always liked the 51, but did not care for the .32 or .380 limitations.

I will likely pick one of these up. I like the looks a lot.

Actually.... I sorta kinda like it. But if it shoots like my Remington 597 22LR rifle.... (which jams all the time) I would pass on it. BUT.... I maay give this onèshot. It's prettier than a Ruger in a strange futuristic sorta way.....

I'm not too keen on it yet, but then again neither were Glocks when they first came out.
