51 Remington pocket pistol?
found an interesting weapon called 51.Anyone Remington pocket details?
The Remington 51 is a pocket pistol designed by John Pedersen and manufactured by Remington Arms in the 20th century for the U.S. civilian market. Remington manufactured approximately 65,000 Model 51 pistols .32 ACP and .380 ACP calibers from 1918 to 1927, although a small number met in mid-1930. Since it closed the breech, the gun can handle increased pressure for a reversal of a firearm, but without the size and weight penalty of other locking systems. The design also allows the recoil spring that is placed around the manufacture of a barrel of a handgun in profile. Lighter performance parts and increased lock time provide less sense violation and real setback. A shaft of smaller diameter results in less muzzle which also reduces the reverse direction. A fixed barrel allows for greater accuracy and reliability and the simplification of the construction. In general, this system is lighter than a setback, simpler than any conventional locking mechanism, and has less recoil than any other systems. For the sizes smaller than it was in recoil operated guns were cheaper, only slightly heavier, and produced no excessive recoil. While the locking mechanism is still superior in many aspects, the drawbacks in its complex and activate the security arrangements made it difficult to sell the gun. In many respects, the gun came too soon. In the 1980s and beyond, companies like Glock pistols promoted their "multiple security systems intuitive and advanced human engineering. These were the characteristics Pedersen had pioneered more than half a century earlier.

Century American West (University of New Mexico Press, $ 55) goes
long route to that difficult balance between authenticity and
fun, making their way in the short list of entertaining texts that
however, manage to make some contribution to their disciplines.
Seventeen chapters and 522 pages, heavy as a plate and thick as gym
cheap sofa cushions, there there snuggle in bed with this sumbitch.
No, Gunsmoke is meant to be browsed, read at random, while youÂ're
bent over his knees in batteries, flipped in the search for
a relative, withered face (Calamity Jane, A "with a pocket rifle with Stevens

( "This Burgess [a 12-gauge shotgun folding] passed to Pat Garrett,
famous as the murderer Billy The Kida, who served as U.S. Collector of Customs in the

by one of its tenants ... Â ") Despite the imposing size, the book is an easy
way to kill an afternoon, a heavy mixture of distracting goodies.
On the development of repeating rifles, for example, Worman writes,
 "Making repeater Henry ended in 1866, shortly before the
disappearance of Spencer. Oliver Winchester and his associates
recognized the need for improvement in the design magazine of the Henry's.
The solution was patented in May 1866 by Nelson King, a spring --

The academic value of the book comes from Worman is considerable,
almost encyclopedic knowledge, his profound knowledge of the subject.
He takes a particular delight in writing legends, explaining that the

This particular field of Western history, of course, is full of titles,
