I am going to get the G42 just because. Then I will wait till 2015 until Glock redesigns the G42 and get the new revision as well.

Meh
1. The days of metal guns for practical CCW are for the most part long gone 2. The R51 is more complicated than the Shield or Glock and most likely will be more finicky. In fact, the review I saw, the host described the pistol as being "reliable with minimal problems". Honestly, I can think of a lot of girls I know who are recoil shy and the Glock 42 would probably be a great gun for them. |

Neither. I'm looking around for one of those Indian made titanium Webley copies in .32 for $20,000.

Sorry Glock. I am a fan boy but .380?!? What were you thinking? They were thinking that brand loyalty alone was going to make the G42 a commercially successful product, in a segment of the market that is already saturated with better choices for deep concealment. I wish them the best of luck with that endeavor. |

No, I know the weight is almost identical cause of the aluminum frame. Where I'm going with that is things like polymer frames with a steel slide just seem to be more forgiving in terms of the tolerances of the handguns, polymer frame is of course more wear resistance, and then also the polymer wonders just seem to usually be simpler in terms of parts (example R51 lacks a captive recoil spring). I definitely am looking forward to commercial feedback of the R51 and most likely it will be a good gun, but also most likely it will be more finicky reliability wise given it's design and the promotional feedback of "minimal problems" instead of no malfunctions. ETA: "These were pre-production pistols, but problems were minimal, and quickly alleviated with a light cleaning and lubrication." - Gunwebsites |

Walther PPS FTW
The Remington does look nice though. I just don't want to be part of the test pool. I'll wait a year & see how it did. The Glock will sell well and Glock will consider it a success despite our disappointment that it's not a 9mm. |

I'm on the top of the waiting list for the R51 at my dealer. He was at some shows last week and the distributors told him mid March for availability.

I have the Shield and used to like it, shot it recently and my M&P trigger hate came back. Plan to sell it and get the R51 or something else. Selling my XDS 9 & 45 when those come back from Sprinfield also. Cleaning house as it were.

none I'll keep my Kahr MK9 elite, and wait for glock to release a 9mm version. I don't like the shield because of the safety, and the R51 is something I would have to handle and shoot before I even considered buying one.

All three are not appealing to me. The Shield is too big for all around pocket carry. The R51 is just weird looking and we all know the 42 should have been a 9.
Ill stay with my PM9 for now. |

Glock .380 - I have zero interest in . I have 380 backups already
M&P shield - shot this quite a bit , really wanted to like it , but alas I cannot deal with the odd placement of the safety ...it's funny how many people give Springfield crap over grip safety and think the shield is ok R-51 is the only item thus far coming out of this shot show that I plan to shell out my hard earned cash for |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How many handguns a year does (can) Remington manufacture? On topic... I already have a CM9. The R51 looks cool, has a very promising action and promises one more round, but I like the thought of polymer and stainless so that I can carry the hell out of it without finish wear annoying me. I'm also disappointed because I was hoping that the G42 would replace my P3AT, but not if it's virtually identical in size to the CM9. |

I know the LCP is rough. For small guns, the G26 and J-frame are generally pretty mild, depending on ammo. |
