This gun turns me on, i have always been wondering why their was never a newer updated 9mm ppk made for our new generation of james bonds.

Not that i could get my hands on such a gun since i don't have a restricted license.... yet.. If they even accept me.

Is this gun even legal at all in canada? I'm too sane to read all the different restrictions on handguns for restricted license holders, i know their is some.

This is made to be a carry gun but it really looks like a ppk to me and i've always been in love with the ppk i just disliked the 380 or 320 acp option only and i never figured out why smith and weston (they now run the ppk line not walther) made a 9mm ppk.


I would get a res-pal just to own this gun, (or if i actually find a way to get into the u.s for good)

Heres a video of it for people who havn't seen it yet. Theirs also apparently a threaded barrel version, and its only 400 dollars MSRP!

It looks slick with a suppressor too.

Maybe im just a weirdo for getting off on a 360 dollar gun (street price). That i probably wont be able to own ever or atleast for a very long time.


Its a locked breach gun, using old technology with a newer carteridge (9mm)

FYI the 9mm is like one hundred and six years old.
There are a lot of tiny nines in the states ,Khar, KelTec ,Glock etc.
If the pistol has a 4.2" barrel it's long enough for Canada.

I laughed my ass off when I saw and handled the R51 at the Remington booth at the SHOT Show. Ungainly, angular, not to mention butt-ugly, the R51 was the least impressive gun I saw at the show. So it fires 9mm! It's gonna be a prohib anyway. Besides, Ruger, Kahr, S&W, Kimber, and even Colt make a better conceal gun than the R51.
The gun to wonder at is the new Glock 42 in .380. Also a locked breech, there is already considerable talk about up calibering this beauty to fire 9mm.
 
.380 - when you absolutely, positively have to annoy your target a little bit.

I think the pistol in question is pretty neat

The beauty of the R51 is not the way it looks, which I admit has ugly swoops that are nothing but decoration. The beauty is the design of the pistol. First of all its great to see a metal frame pistol in todays sea of polymer guns. The locking system allows for a fixed barrel design, there is no need for a locking block under the barrel or room for the barrel to tip down like in traditional browning design. This creates for a subcompact pistol that has a full size grip that will fit all three fingers, unlike the Glock 42 which will have one finger hanging off the bottom. I do not like subcompact pistol for this very reason as they are a compromised design. This is the first subcompact that has arose my interest. Also its single stack, has low bore axis, single action trigger, no manual safety and all those things should make for a very nice shooting gun. There will be a threaded barrel version with an extended barrel that might be over 105mm (restricted).
