Remington R51: Avoid the hype and take a pass
The new Remington R51 pistol is actually getting more digital and dead tree ink than the new G2 Research RIP 9mm round, if that's actually possible. We saw how the hype is just that with the new R.I.P. round and it looks as though an unbiased look at the R51…
