Remington RP9

"Why"

>>34449869

Remington is literally crapping out one turd after another

I find it kind of funny how the magazines are too big for the 9mm model

never ever

Put a couple-three hundred rounds through one not very long ago.

Honestly? I kinda liked it. Super soft shooter. Trigger has a rolling break, (reminded me of the Taran connector in my Glocks), which I liked. Just kind of screwing around I found it really easy to shoot for groups at 10 yards. I'm not a great shot with striker triggers and I was reliably getting 3" CTC or a bit better just playing around. No failures (small sample size).

This was before the MAC hoopla, so I didn't check the left-handed slide stop or whatever. I'm right-handed, all the right-handed controls work fine.

Experienced no mag-related problems like others have reported but they're clearly just a take on Para 9mm / .38 Super mags. I wouldn't be very surprised at all if they work unmodified in Para-format doublestacks.

It IS absolutely huge, though. Like, Beretta 92 huge.

some reviews criticized it heavily

apparently it has to be specifically oiled a certain amount, too little, too much = jam o matic, so it has to be frequently cleaned, ie, remember orig m16 ?

some other problems i can't remember

Gigantic for a 9mm so they could have a single frame for 9mm and 45 models to keep production costs low.

Shot one a few weeks ago. Shoots well. My biggest issue was how steep of a feed ramp the rounds have to climb to chamber. Makes me wonder if anything besides ball ammo will cycle well.

Ugly gun.

For guys with gigantic hands (I'm 6'4" and have pretty big hands and even I thought it was big) I could see it making sense.

Remington really had a chance to redeem themselves, but ever since they've been run by the accountants of a PE firm, they missed the mark.

Remington is pretty much bottom of the barrel right now as far as reliability and quality go. Stay far far away from them

The market is so saturated with polymer framed striker fired service pistols Im not even sure what market they're expecting this to have.

It's extremely doubtful any military entity would pick these up, LEO are going to buy Glocks or M&Ps, and the general public have a smorgasbord of XD's, P-99's, VP-9's, etc.

I'm honestly struggling to think of a demographic that would buy these. Die hard Remington fanboys? People who expect it to have a super short production run, and henceforth become collectors items?

I don't get it.

Someone just posted a video of one that had the slide trapped on frame from the factory so he had to send it back the day he bought it. On the plus side with rebates you can get one for $250 right now. Remington has finally become Taurus tier with the only exception of their overpriced versamax shotguns and a functional 1911.

Hmm it's a gun made by a company under the boot of a horrible investment firm that runs name brands into the ground known for making overpriced shitty Khyber pass tier facsimiles of gun designs that have gotten people killed in recent years (887 safety glitch).
They buy good companies and move assembly to a plant with horrible working conditions, workers that are underpaid and not formally trained on how to do their jobs at all.
Then this company just shat out another "new" design, which is just another Glock clone only this time with a Hi-Point size slide for some reason. The famously biased gun rag journalists and YouTube shills have even turned their noses up at it.
In fact so disastrous was thus launch that these turds are already seeping out of secondary distributors for ~250 now. For a gun that should be ~400-500.

I've never handled or shot one because California handgun roster. But all of these warning signs tell me that it's probably just a shit tier gun overall. If the $250 blowout price is attractive, a Hi-Point C9 is $~150 or even less any day of the week and mine works perfectly. It's also backed by an actual warranty.

>>34449869
Am I the only one who find the RP9 actually pretty attractive. Reminds me almost of a P30L.

>>34449878
This.

And this.

I don't trust Tarus and I don't trust Remington.

OK, the Walther PPQ was cool. So was the HK P30 and the VP9. OK, yea, Beretta, go ahead and release the APX, you deserve to have a shot. Alrighty, Canik, that's a good price point and people like your trigger. Oh, Ruger, you want to release the same gun AND give it the exact name of one of your rifles? Free country.

But Remington? Remington wants to release the same gun? Who is left to buy this? They are regarded significantly lower than Turkish gun manufacturers in the actual gun community. Honestly, who is in charge there, a series of commitees?

>Remington

Nope. Not after the R51 debacle

>>34454804
Where you get your weed, guy?

>>34449869
It will flop since Remington is a Fudd brand and Fudds don't like plastic guns. Remington even makes their old fudd favorites such as the 700 out of plastic and Fudds ignore that shit. One day the Fudds will die out and so will remington.

The 1911 R1s are pretty decent.

$400 for the base model after mail in rebate, puts it in the same price bracket as the Flip 1911s, but surprisingly better fit.
The black oxide finish is garbage though.
