The Remington R51, 9mm Handgun:
Answer:
This is true. On or about July 26, 2014. Remington Firearms issued a voluntary RECALL for all R51 Pistols (handguns).
YES, another Recall by Remington.
If you have one of these and it has not been fixed or replaced by Remington, contact Remington immediately and return it.
See details below ...
Remington issued a statement acknowledging problems with the troubled R51 9mm center fire pistol, and offered consumers an opportunity to trade in their pistols for new production models.The move amounts to a voluntary recall.
Remington's Official Statement and
Instructions for Buyers of the R51 Handgun:
Remington R51 Pistol Product Update -
Earlier this year, we launched the
innovative R51 subcompact pistol to critical acclaim. During testing,
numerous experts found the pistol to function flawlessly. In fact,
they found it to have lower felt recoil, lower muzzle rise and better
accuracy and concealability than other products in its class.
However, after initial commercial
sales, our loyal customers notified us that some R51 pistols had
performance issues. We immediately ceased production to re-test the
product. While we determined the pistols were safe, certain
units did not meet Remington’s performance criteria. The
performance problems resulted from complications during our
transition from prototype to mass production. These problems
have been identified and solutions are being implemented, with an
expected production restart in October. Anyone who purchased an R51
may return it and receive a new R51 pistol, along with two additional
magazines and a custom Pelican case, by calling Remington at (800)
243-9700.
The new R51 will be of the same
exceptional quality as our test pistols, which performed flawlessly.
We appreciate your patience and
support.
