Hey guys - a new Remington, guess we’ll see it at our LGS this next year.

I would like it more if it looked more like the original style. A couple too many gratuitous swoops on the slide. Still, with a low bore axis, it might be a real sweet shooter. With only a grip safety, I'm predicting a lot of NDs when morons try to holster it. Not that they need any extra special features to screw things up. The real proof of the design will be how easy it is to enhance performance.

As far as politics go, Remington still has a couple of fingers poking in the gun-grabber's eye. NY is getting TAXED to keep a GUN COMPANY in a state that they don't want in that state. In the Obamaconomy, the few jobs Remington could take out of state does not match the $80 million the state paid to keep them there. That's $80 million that could have been used for something even more harmful to New York than keeping an arms-maker producing nifty handguns, even if New York does not recognize most of the Bill of Rights.

It has a wonderful retro look to it.

I got to shoot a 1920s Remington 380 back in 1976 . That little peach was like new and I remember being quite impressed by the machining quality of the piece and it’s accuracy.

Glad I could help, especially since Magpul just announced they are leaving Colorado.

When did that happen? Hopefully after I purchased my 870 Super Mag shotgun in 1999... so I wont feel guilty.
