Details have emerged on the new Remington RP series of pistols. Great triggers. The 9mm is a little on the thick side, but holds 18+1. Holy cow. That's a lot of bubble gum.
The first will hit stores in early 2017 (no doubt setting Remington to have a big splash at the SHOT show in January) in 9mm. Models in .45 Auto will come along shortly after that.
The initial looks have all proven positive.
Dan Zimmerman at The Truth About Guns tried it last month and liked it. .
It may have taken Big Green a while to jump into the plastic fantastic game, but they’ve done an awful lot that’s right with this gun. I had a chance to play with one and put some rounds down range at a writers event last month.
Queue the comments about how late to the party this gun is. Fair enough. But the only effect that has is foregone past revenue. Going forward, given its features, the Rp9 will be a very viable option for a lot of pistol shoppers.
The RP9 looks like the lovechild of a Smith M&P9 and a Walther PPQ.
It features a svelte grip circumference that makes holding (and, you know, shooting) one exceptionally comfortable for small-handed shooters like me. It ships with three interchangeable backstraps to make it conform to your particular paws.
Its best feature: the trigger. Out-of-the-box, it’s light, grit-free, and has a short, perceptible re-set. From the 60 or so rounds I pumped through it, the Rp reminded me most of some of the best stock triggers I’ve tried on comparable guns like the FNX-9 and the PPQ.

Years in the making, Remington is finally launching the RP45 pistol. This polymer-framed, striker-fired handgun has been under development for several years and just now coming to market.
I first learned about the gun in 2014, and have been waiting to see when it would finally be announced. You can take a look at the photos of the poster featuring the pistol at the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesaler’s show this week on social media.
I hope it is better than the R51. And I won't believe a damn thing Guns & Ammo writes about it.
Yeah, given how badly Remington pooped the bed with the R51, I'm going to give a long side-eye to this pistol. The company has a steep public relations hill to climb.
Firearm Blog is reporting 15+1 capacity for the RP-45
Assuming that Hillary won't ban it if she gets elected.
Looks cool. 18+1 has got me excited.
Does it shoot as good or better than a Glock 17? Can you find holsters and gear for it?
If yes, I might be tempted.
