Certainly hoping not to spoil anything, but I checked out a Remington R51 at Gander Mtn over the weekend and love the size and the way it feels in the hand. For something labeled a subcompact I was able to fully grip, without sacrificing the concealability.
I will likely rent one and put a box through it to make sure but I think I’m sold.

Adrian, I have had the opportunity to put a few rounds through one of those and it is a very nice piece of hardware. You might want to see if you can find one at Mills Fleet Farm, because IMO Gander Mountain’s prices are about 11-15% higher on firearms.
I won’t buy anything from Dick’s out of principle. They briefly stopped selling AR-15s after Sandy Hook and despite what they said the reason was, I felt that they were caving in to the gun grabbers.

Gander is a little higher, although if you are diligent you can find some really good sale prices there.
Although I love Fleet Farm too.

I have already checked my local “man mall”, was advised (and it has been my experience) that they typically don’t get firearms until they’ve been out for a while (R51 is new).
The only reason I stopped at GM was they actually had it (Bill’s in Robbinsdale didn’t even yet). Now I might check if FF can order…or I might go through PSA or KYGunCO…

Don’t forget the Minnesota Weapons Collectors Association (MWCA) show at the State Fairgrounds Education Building this weekend. There is also a military collector’s show at one of the nearby fair buildings during the same time frame.
Might not see the new Remington there, or get a good deal, but you never know. However, the big box places tend to get the newer, popular stuff first, at better volume prices. Last week Gander Mountain advertised them at $399 in their flyer. FYI …
