Just messing with ya.
Being a "disabled" Elder, I have legitimate reason to tell BG's this: "I can't run, I can't fight; I have only one option; BUT, I can shoot very, very well !"
So far, that has always worked for me.

I had an FNS9C and really liked it overall. What caused you to sell yours?
Measured up to the 19 with the pinky mag, I just couldn't justify why I wasn't carrying my Glock. That was one factor. What really did me in was that I was carrying the 17 rounders with collars as backup mags. I never felt a secure grip on when firing the it on the range with those mags in it. IRL, under stress, I just didn't feel confident carrying it. It shot extremely well and I was VERY accurate with it, so it wasn't the actual gun itself, all me and all in my head but I just couldn't get past it. If someone told me today they were going to go buy one, I'd compliment them on their decision and say go with God. I still have the case, a pinky extension equipped 12 rounder, the flat bottom for that 12 rounder, two collar equipped 17 rounders, and one non-collared 17 rounder (a FNS 9 mag, 'cause that's what the 17 rounders are) I need to get rid of.
Makes perfect sense. I have had some handguns like that. Being confident in your weapon is big and if it is not there mentally it just does not work.
Kahr CW-9 with a Hogue Handall Jr grip for almost 10 years. I’m thinking about retiring it and getting the new CW-9 with the carbon fiber texture frame and adding tritium sights.

Bofors w/extra stripper clip. I prefer the vintage proximity fused rounds due to recoil. The old saying close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades is incomplete. Its horse shoes hand grenades and bofors.
I'm a big guy and can get away with it. Some cant.
Other times I fell ok with just a G 19 + 1 17 round mag.

My posts don't count....
Although I just moved here and can't carry concealed yet, when I lived in VA I carried a Remington R51 Gen 2. The Corbon 9mm +P ran though it without any problems. I even ran Remington HTP 147 subsonic and it worked. My Gen 2 might be unique, but I never, and I say that after 300 rounds of HPs, never had a problem. Before that, I carried, and still have, a Kahr CT9 and a for gen S&W .380 Bodyguard with laser. Both guns had over 300 rounds of HPs before I carried them and neither had a problem after the first 50 rounds.
Just my experience.

What made you choose the R51? Its initial introduction was enough of a disaster I don't think many are willing to try the Gen2 version. An honest question because I really, really liked the look of the pistol until I read about the serious Gen1 design flaws.
I own an original Remington M51 in .380 acp. It was built in the first year or two of production (1920's) and was the "proof" so to speak of the Pederson design. It's just a shooter and it never failed me. A gun dealer I dealt with frequently told me not to buy the Gen 1 when it came out. After Gen 2 came out I waited. Jerry (the dealer) told me it was time to buy as he said his customers couldn't say enough good things about it.
And, its flat, has the funky grip safety (I actually like safeties) and it's plus P. I admit its a pain in the ass to put back together but it shoots sooo good. And the rear sight has the flat front for one handed reloads.
The price (Jerry gave me a steal because I bought so many guns from him over the 15 years prior to this purchase) just made it a must try for me. I only wish it was more popular and had more holster options available.

Naw, sob all the way. No room for a smart carry. I got important stuff there.
Everyone with an oven and a vacuum former makes holsters now days.
