I am ready to start carrying my R-51, but have not found a suitable holster yet.
Anyone have any real experience with a particular holster for the R-51?
I prefer IWB, but will consider OWB. Also prefer leather.

I got a Remora clipless IWB for mine. Not sure about the specific size, I think they make them on order anyway, so when I specified which gun it was for, there was no option for Remington so in the "Other" field I said it was for a Remington R51. It fits perfectly. I got the sweat guard and the soft lining option also. You can also order them with clips, I believe. I notice it also fits my Beretta 84F very nicely, so if you are looking at holsters if you find one that fits an 84F you might be on the right track.

I just ordered an IWB from this guy...he's got a laser on the way to make the correct form for the Crimson Trace edition.

I gave up finding a holster and bought a large frame IWB at a closing Gander Mountain. I cut it apart and resewed it. The rear sight is about 3/4" above the top of the belt clip. Works well. I had previously resewed a lined tuckable IWB for a revolver. It works well also. I think one for a Makarov would also work. The holster for a PPK I tried was too short.

Went with a Vetter.

Have an AlienGear 3.0 for my R51. It's a bit bulky. I will probably order a N82 Original holster for it (compact slim size).

I noticed the Vedder LightTuck is available for the R51. Looks like a very precisely formed kydex iwb holster and always seems to have good reviews. The cant, retention, and ride height are all adjustable.

Finally ordered IWB holster from Vetter. Very impressive. Finding one that was adjustable was one criteria. Their clip took care of that. The fit and finish are noteworthy. Quick delivery even over Christmas. Thinking about adapting their clips to some of my other holsters.

Do the screws for the belt clip stay tight? I've heard that is a problem with some other brands of adjustable single clip holsters.

For IWB carry, I use a Front Line 80010BK. Technically it's for a Beretta 92, but it fits my 1911, Glock 26, EAA Witness, and my R51. All leather, tuckable, VERY comfy, and a smooth draw.

Here's pretty much the same thing, listed at $27: https://www.amazon.com/Tuckable-Leather-Holster-Brown-Right/dp/B00EBBA2GG

I upgraded my AlienGear 3.0 iwb holster to the 3.5 model. It’s a significant improvement to the 3.0. The 3.5 is not as long (belt clips are closer together) which holds the gun closer to your body for less printing. The backing material is a little more stiff and breathes much better too. I would definitely recommend it as it’s now in the same league as the premium brands like Stealthgear.

Yes, the LightTuck is a very well made holster. I may be getting one for my RM380.
