Won't replace my Shield but I really like the R51

Picked it up yesterday. Really love the style and how it fits in my hands and the fit/finish is superb. I find my grip needs to be just about perfect for the safety lever to allow it to fire so, because of this I don't think it will share carry duty with my Shield anytime soon. Maybe thicker grip panel inserts will improve this and I would like to hear from some of you guys who have them on your pistols.
One question I have to ask is what was Remington thinking with this trigger! The R51 is a beauty and deserves much better. Not so much the function, although it could be improved, but the fit, feel and look of it, WTH!. It feels cheap and wiggles around like a loose tooth ready to fall out. I can see myself spending time in the shop making an aluminum replacement as soon as the pistol gets some range time to prove itself. What are your thoughts on the trigger?
Will be hitting the range this week. I will have a report by the weekend.
