Single stack 9mm Glock in 2014?

Not a Glock fan. They're fine firearms but to me it's like holding a 2 x 4 with a mouse trap attached to it. Hate the ergonomics.

I've had my second generation Glock 19 since about 1989. It's been a great gun for target shooting and conceal carry but I'm thinking about upgrading (even though I recently bought a Sig Sauer 40Cal.). I'm interested in the Remington R51 as my next conceal carry.

My sentiments exactly. I have had no complaints with the function of every Glock I have fired. But it feels awkward and clunky in my hand. If it were a rifle that felt like that, I might be willing to overlook some of it. After all, most of my rifle fire is very slow and deliberate.
But a defensive handgun needs to feel natural.

Stay away from the R51. Remington just recalled it.

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't now that. Not like Remington to make crap (in most cases). You would think that they would have fully tested the pistol long before releasing it in the marketplace. Their reputation will surely be damaged.

It's possible that the babes with tiny hands aren't able to control the recoil from a thick grip double stacker.
Uuummmm....... I have HUGE hands and the Glock still feels clunky, has nothing to do with recoil........

I have lots of Glocks and lots of SW M&Ps I have tested both extensively with over 6000 rounds of each in actually competitions. I have shot dozens of GSSF Matches (member of the GSSF 500 club with a 34, a 17 and a 26) and dozens of "Steel matches" with both. based on that I recommend the SW MP as easier to shoot fast and accurately. The trigger reset on the Glock is slightly slower than the MP and at least for me, I can follow up shots with the M&P slightly faster.
One advantage of the GLOCK is when you change out the rear sight (which just about every serious shooter does with Warren/Sevigny or Dawsons) you don't have to worry about that frigging spring and cover shooting out like you do on the SW guns

I don't currently own a 9mm. Not sure why, given the abundance of ammo on the shelves....
Most of my firearms are C&R, the only 9s I currently own take the short 9 round though I'd love to own a Browning High Power.

If you dont have a .45 get one of those instead. Plenty of ammo available.

Even concealed, Glocks are too ugly to carry.

I do. A Colt Series 80, the very first firearm I ever purchased. My wife knows to bury it with me when I die, in my cold dead fingers.
