Remington Model 5. This is Remingtons second updated pistol after the 1. Motogp 08 For Pc Full Version on this page. R1, and I get the distinct impression theyre slowly working their way through the old designs and re releasing the good stuff with modern machining and metals. Not that Im complaining there are a number of discontinued designs that Id love to get my hands on H K P7 and the BHP spring immediately to mind and the Model 5. Glock Buyers Guide Professional Edition' title='Glock Buyers Guide Professional Edition' />The original Remington Model 5. John Pedersen, a designer best known for the Pedersen Device that turned a bolt action Springfield 1. Like the original, the latter day Model 5. After ignition, the breech block slides slightly backwards before tilting down and out of the way, imparting enough momentum to the slide to carry it through the reloading cycle. There are two benefits to this operating mechanism. First, it allows for a lighter recoil spring the breech block is separate from the slide and less force is required to cycle the action. This makes the R5. Second, as the recoil spring is placed around the barrel, theres no need for a separate recoil spring guide rod. This accounts for the guns thin design and lowered bore axis. The end result a flatter shooting gun with less felt recoil. The original Model 5. Remington has gone the extra mile to modify the R5. Theyve rounded everything on the gun including the rear sights which means the pistol can slide freely out of a holster or pocket. The only exception is the forward end of the R5. The magazine release is recessed into the frame, giving the side of the gun a very smooth surface with no protruding controls. Remington also added some streamlined cuts in the slides that reduce weight and make it blend in better in a pocket or other flat carry position. Not all of these improvements are actual improvements, though the recessing of the magazine baseplate is a carry mod too far. The magazines baseplate sits flush with the surrounding metal, making it nice and smooth. But when you try and insert the magazine into the gun with the palm of your hand like a normal reload you have to physically press the magazine into the gun until the magazine catch clicks. Otherwise the gun wont run. The original R5. 1 had a manual safety in addition to the grip safety, but the retro mod R5. Instead the gun ships with only the 1. Remington R5. 1 without engaging the device. Its my favorite kind of safety feature one I dont have to think about. On paper, then, the Remington R5. On the range. Pull the trigger on a live round and the first issue rears its ugly head the Remington R5. Granted this is a common complaint for wafer thin compact 9mm handguns, but I was expecting the smoother stylings of the R5. Pedersen action to eliminate some of that discomfort. The R5. 1s grip safety area located right where the webbing of your hand grips the gun has two jagged ridges along which the safety rides. These ridges focus the force of the recoil on an extremely small area of your hand. Combined with the R5. Registros De Calidad Iso 9001. I was getting slide bite. The left side of the R5. By the end of the range day, my admittedly oversized hand looked like someone beat it with a hammer. NB RF was having the same issues with his mid size mitts. Smaller firearms that are painful to shoot arent anything new. Airweight. 3. 57 Magnum revolvers continue to fly off the shelves nationwide a fact which boggles my mind. But its a bad thing, not a good thing. Owners are far more likely to practice their marksmanship and tactics with an easy shooting carry gun than with a personally punishing firearm. There are other, even more important concerns. At the Remington SHOT Show booth, I discovered that the R5. The triggers take up and break were exquisite, but there was no tactile feedback when the sear had reset and the gun was ready to fire again. The guys at the booth claimed this wasnt a bug. Out on the range you wont even notice it. As they say in The Land of Hope and Glory, pull the other one its got bells on. Running the gun, I found myself constantly pulling the R5. Judging the reset point is difficult, and it seems to take ages to get the trigger ready for the next shot. In the video above you can clearly see my finger moving backwards and nothing happening. I had to mentally condition myself to touch the trigger guard with my fingernail after every round, which increased my shot to shot split times. Guns Ammos writer said he was quicker with the R5. Unless hes benefited from some specialized training, I dont see how thats possible. Even after shooting more than 5. I was still pulling the R5. Having that much movement in my trigger finger also didnt help with my accuracy. Palm 7X Software. It added more lateral movement in the shot pattern than with any other gun I own. Speaking of accuracy, the R5. This 2 inch five round group was shot from the five yard line. Saying that, I regularly see one ragged hole out of either my Wilson Combat 1. FNS 9. The R5. 1s offer better off hand accuracy than some other compact guns Ive tested recently but its not top of the pops either. The R5. 1s low bore axis and lighter slide did indeed reduce felt recoil and allowed me to get on target quickly. There was another pleasant surprise the R5. P 9mm ammo, and recoil with P isnt any stouter than normal ammo. Relatively speaking, at least the P loads were no more painful than any other rounds, yet still painful to shoot. Its also entirely possible that my hand was too numb from pain at that point to know the difference. I tested the gun using standard American Eagle 9mm rounds and a broad smattering of hollow point ammunition to ensure that standard self defense loads would run in the gun. To its credit, the R5. It malfunctioned equally with all of them. I know people who think that disassembling a GLOCK for cleaning and maintenance is too much work. The R5. 1 is not the alternative carry gun theyre looking for. Disassembling Remingtons carry piece is almost as challenging as changing an M1 Carbines extractor. No one will intuitively understand that you need to grab the R5. American male to read the instruction manual is about as likely as Robert bagging his latest supermodel crush. But they really should read the manual. When you re assemble the R5. You must insert it perfectly parallel to the slide. If you tilt the slide stop upwards by as little as a 11. As Robert found out it might even refuse to feed. Not to put too fine a point on it, replacing the slide stop properly could be the difference between life and death in a self defense situation. At the Remington booth, a display model failed to return to battery a couple times. The guy running the display admitted that the gun was improperly reassembled. A different gun cycled perfectly. The fact that Remingtons own sales reps the guys specifically trained on the use of the gun didnt re assemble the R5. The R5. 1s user manual only mentions this critical step in a small sentence at the very end of the instruction, accompanied by a not entirely educational picture above. With every other gun on the market, if you re assemble the gun incorrectly a quick function check will show you the error of your ways. An incorrectly re assembled R5. Theres no way to test the R5. The first sign that something is wrong with the R5. So a new shooter could buy an R5. At some point, he or she will break down the R5. Bay. All Categories. Antiques. Art. Baby. Books.
