i cant get over how much it looks like KTs

visual comparison

I liked the video, at the it say's "You Need One" So much for subliminal messages. Now I am thinking about all the places I can conceal it.

lot prettier than the p3at IMHO

it gets my vote for Best Music in a commercial...

Pretty doesn't launch bullets. On the surface, I see enough visual similarities that I wonder if the aren't mechanical twins. Kinda like the Pontiac Solstice sitting next to a Saturn Sky. One is prettier depending on who you ask but, they are mechnically identical.

But then there is the name. Has to do with trust and confidence.

Bullets no, but maybe ships. If this proves to be a reliable pistol, then Ruger may have a winner.

This should be a step up in quality over the Kel-Tec. Only 1 oz heavier than a P3ATand just slightly bigger, yet hopefully built with Ruger's rock solid reliability. Now if they would do something about the - typical for Ruger - heavy (8 lb) trigger pull I might consider trying one out.

Reliability is my only concern here. If Ruger's version works, that will be great. A reliable, ultra-compact 380 will find a lot of buyers.

Agreed. I own a gun by both brands, and would put much more faith in Ruger over Kel-tec.

John Farnam handled one at the SHOT show, and emailed that the Ruger has a slide lock and a shorter trigger re-set than the Kel-Tec P3AT.

Anyone know if the magazines are by any chance interchangeable between the Kel-Tec and the Ruger? We already have a Kel-Tec .380 in the family, and thought about getting another, but it would be annoying to have two nearly identical guns that can't exchange magazines. I would probably stick to the Kel-Tec in that case.
