Early Remington auto

I'll bet the model 53 would have been a great .45 pistol.

I owned a model 51 in .380 when I was 21 years old... I traded it a couple of years later as part trade for my S&W .44 Magnum Model 29. The S&W is a great gun, and I still have it, but I have regretted trading the Remington 51 ever since...

Yeah, John, from what I've been reading, the locking Pederson system was just the thing for the .45 ACP's power, and mechanically quite excellent. It may well have turned out to be what the 1911 is, had it been produced/tested in time!

Came across this a short while ago and thought some might be interested.

I have three, an early, mid and late production. They all soot great. It would have made a great .45!!

I found this on a Russian Site.

Note the picture. A caption within the picture, in English, states that the only Mod. 53 ever made resides at the Remington Factory.

Neat looking gun. I would love to see how its operation differs from a Browning, et al.

Regards,

Gunny John
