Looks like a Rohrbaugh. I have no interest, but I thought I'd let people know about it that didn't already know.

Yeah, because Remington's last pistol was such a stunning sucess....:upeyes:

No thanks.

Looks cheap to me - I will keep my LCP for small 380 use. Is there a reason why the slide release is hidden between to notches.

It's a Rohrbaugh redesigned to have a slide stop and with the magazine release moved to the grip.
They've not tried to hide the fact that it's the design they purchased with some tweaks.

Let's hope it's better than the R51.

I avoid all things Remington these days, although I really hope that they eventually get things turned around.

No doubt their previous new model will make people quite skeptical about this one.

:supergrin:Well the video I saw of the RM380 going like 250rnds in six minutes right out of the box seems promising..I wont need the 380 but when they release the RM9 Ill probably have to pick one up to compare to my two Rohrbaughs. Go! Remington Go! Bring the worlds smallest, lightest 9 to the masses...

It may be to prevent interference with the slide stop if you have a high, thumbs forward grip. It's the only explanation I can come up with.

Yeah, Remington pretty much sucks these days.

I assume we're both thinking of that wonderful (sarcasm) plastic gem they decided to release, called the R-51?

God, what a disaster. I half-hope that Remington goes out of business, along with most of Freedom Group, so that the companies can start up again independently. I wouldn't mind seeing Marlin get back to being an independent company, instead of a giant conglomerate.

Isn't Remington $1B in the hole? Or was that another gun company?

Wow, they are late to the .380 party. Do we really need another one?
