I've shot around 200 through one and found it enjoyable to shoot. Ergonomics for me were spot on. I found the same with the CX4, lovely ergonomics.

A friend of mine was the GMK employee at the time who submitted PX4s and M9s for the British military trial a few years back. They did very well. Obviously didn’t make the cut.

His opinion was with todays manufacturing and QC, a company has to really fvck it up to produced a gun that doesn’t work and you couldn’t get “fag paper” between those produced by high end firms.

Which is why the R51 and RP9 were such a surprises for the wrong reasons…
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

well the R standing for remington goes some way to explain that. they were not the company they were a few years prior to that, and not a company exactly known for handguns.

shame those guns disappeared after the trial. I'd have liked either. but at least if a px4 comes up, I can probably get it on 7.3 anyway due to my collection.
When guns are outlawed, only Outlaws will have guns
