Certified Silly Goose
Master Class
Rifle companies like Remington really shouldn't try to enter the pistol world... Just like handgun companies generally shouldn't enter the rifle/shotgun world. Remington is a shining example of that.
Two of Remington's biggest failures...

LoL, Remington started making handguns in 1850 something.
So the second Remington Model 51 didn't fair as well, it happens.

Remington Model 51 — The Original
John Moses Browning told Major General Julian Hatcher that John Pedersen "was the greatest gun designer in the world." Although

I’ll agree the new R 51 from Remington was a flop. Which was probably victim to being released at a time when the company had a lot of QC issues (even with kings tha ding products that were cataloged with strong sales for decades) and financial issues.
So that said one should probably look at companies history. Several that might be primarily rifle or handgun makers today have made both or started with the other in the 1800’s or early 1900’s.
Savage had their 1907 that was a contender and faired well in the military trials of 1911.
Companies consolidated or discontinued stuff off and on even back then.
