"Hot gasses escaping the chamber were essentially flame cutting the top of my hand"
"Problems keeping the magazine in the gun"
"The slide action was very rough, and the rear sight was loose in the dovetail"
"An Idaho man was accidentally shot while loading his R51 pistol. According to court documents, the man did not press the trigger, nor did he depress the grip safety. Yet, the gun allegedly fired and struck him in the abdomen when he inserted a magazine."

"The left side of the R51’s slide rail contacted my hand when the gun cycles"
"The R51’s trigger had no perceptible reset"
"Disassembling Remington’s carry piece is almost as challenging as changing an M1 Carbine’s extractor... When you re-assemble the R51 you must slip a small tab on the slide stop of the gun underneath this little spring. You must insert it perfectly parallel to the slide. If you tilt the slide stop upwards by as little as a 1/16th of an inch, if it rides above the spring, the gun will malfunction" (Note, they did fix this in the second version of the r51)
"Even when the gun is absolutely 100% assembled correctly, it still fails to fire, fires out of battery, and fails to feed with alarming regularity"
