Don't Buy a New Design When Shopping for SD Handgun

Remington R51 "back on the market." Was recalled two years ago due to reliability issues.
LINK Not that I'd buy one. Just reinforces the concept of never buying a new design -- wait until all the bugs are corrected.

On a similar note, saw a blog this morning reporting that the new Glock 17M (supposed to be the model that FBI recently chose) that Indianapolis PD bought had/has issues with slide lock spring and/or recoil spring. LINK 2
Should be a simple fix, but the lesson for the private consumer is "Why buy a new/untested product if you're gonna rely on it for self-defense? Let somebody else do the beta-testing for a couple of years."

I never even drank the Gen 4 Kool-Aid. Glock's Gen 3 design is thoroughly tried and true.

Actually I carry a Gen 2 (I just prefer to not have the finger grooves). But I'd have the same confidence in a Gen 3.

Same thing applies to cars and trucks.

That's why 1911 is the GOAT.
Over 100 years of greatness.

Agreed. Buying a vehicle in the last year of the old generation is a smart move.

Not sure if serious.
I would say no...but I never assume anything on these boards.

I think he's saying if you plan on keeping it a long time and want it to be trouble free.

Absolutely serious. You may not get the best up-and-coming technology but you'll get a reliable vehicle.
When a generation has been on the road for 6-10 years the manufacturer is usually able to clean up most of the defects.

I love how you'll be absent for days on end and have a simple and eloquent post like this...
