    Making a firearm that must use specific ammo is over the line crazy. There is no way I would ever buy a firearm that would not allow me to just pick up a handful of correct caliber any manufacturer and start shooting.

    This is really one of the stupidest things about the ammo. This should kill sales of this pistol.

    I'd be interested in the .45, but I think we all know exactly how that is going to go

    Funny how Remington has completely screwed their reputation. I'd buy any handgun than a Remington.
