Freedom Group (Remington) New Model 51 Pistol

[30 cal slut]

A credible industry source just told me that this will likely be coming from Freedom Group (Remington).

Thoughts?

Any one hear or see anything?

It's also not a big secret that the Hartford Horsey may be coming out with one, maybe in early 2014. Not in time for SHOT 2014.

ETA: Changed title. New gun is not polymer, not striker fired.

I still just can't believe Glock is missing this boat.

To be fair, if you are a Glock VP or CEO, you look at your finances and wonder if you really to do anything other than make your traditional models.

Yes and no. Colt did that, but by the time they started to innovate again (with the Double Eagle and the P2000) it was already too late.

Realistically speaking, what does Glock really need to do in order to move closer to the "Perfection" they talk about?

The G19 (and/or the G17) are iconic firearms that set industry standards with every new generation. They try new things, RTF2, for example, some liked it, some didn't but that's really the end of that product are for them. They entered it, got the sales, nothing too impressive as most "new" Glocks sell out very quickly anyway.

What else are they going to do? Have a Gen5 G34 with the slide cut out for an RMR? Make a single stack 9mm? double/single 380? How about a dedicated Glock .22lr? Nothing really "new" persay in the gun world and we all know any one of those suggested models would sell out extremely quickly.

Unless something game changing happens in the pistol world, Glock just needs to come up with one thing a year (maybe) and not change anything too drastically. They can produce Gen3 19 and 17's, and they will always sell out even if the market is saturated.
