Just picked up an R51 with the Crimson Trace laser. Took it to the range and put 100 rounds of various kinds through it. I was able to put rounds within a 2"-3" circle at 10 yards. Had one nose dive with Russian Wolf steel cased round. All others had no glitches.

After the range time the inside base of my thumb, where it contacts the grip, had an open sore where the skin was removed. I have large hands and the R51's small grip bites with recoil since I have to grip it so firmly to activate the grip safety.

I have since purchased some slightly thicker wood grips, but have not been back to the range to see if this helps. I'll report back.
