I have noticed that a few owners of the R51 have had problems with the
Magazines. I and others on the R51 website have been researching these
problems and are getting them fixed. We also have a member who has
designed a METAL trigger!

My magazines are working well.
I'd like to learn more about the metal trigger, and if it is a performance improvement, or not.

I could not rack a round from a closed slide from a fully loaded mag. I trimmed the follower feet 1/4 inch and it worked ok. Not great, just ok. It worked ok feeding a full mag from an open slide.

As for the trigger, which sucks, I lightly filed the bottom edges with a diamond nail file to smooth it out.
