I understand that a new, correctly functioning version of Remington's R51 9x19 mm semiautomatic pistol is being made. Having no manual or grip safety, does the design have an automatically engaging hammer blocking safety that allows the hammer to hit firing pin only when trigger is pulled?

What I have read leads me to believe the R51 is not coming back. Not sure about the particulars on the hammer blocking scheme, but it does seem Remington has some real problems with this handgun design.

I would be interested in hearing from those who know more about this as well.

I was excited about this gun when they first came out a couple years ago, but heard they were awful in quality control.
