First it was Sccy (formally known as Skyy) now Ruger has copied Kel-Tec's P3AT. Anything look familiar?? Even in the break down the parts look the same. The only problem I see is the 8 lb trigger pull. Even though...I want one! I guess it's another one that I'm having to wait for release from the manufacture.;)

The LCP is to ship in March,mine goes on order tomorrow. (GS closed Sun/Mon or it would already be on order).
I'v got 2 P3ATs that run just fine and have no intention of replacing them but I really want to try one of these. I do wish Ruger would have came up with their own design though. Word from a company employee is it is a copy not under license.

That will go really well with my new ALL black SR9 I just purchased today. Damn the 3 day wait! I can't get my CCW fast enough. Blah!

Thanks, burley. I removed it. I was looking for the other view and saw that one. I didn't even notice it was PS'd. I did notice the rail but it didn't click. That's what happens when you are in ahurry...:o;)

Kel-Tec should sue as in Glock v. Smith&Wesson (sigma)
MSRP a shot show was 330.00

I'm thinking $250 to $275 on the street.

Looks like the ruger has a external slide log.
I love Ruger. Thanks for the post. I wish they would make one between that size and the size if the new SR9. I would still probably stick with my p345 though. They need one about the size of the XD subcompact or baby Glock. Maybe they are working on it. Did I say I love Ruger.

Man am I glad to see Ruger make this! I've be toying with which one - Sccy, or Keltec, but now I think my mind is made up - I know Ruger quality - woo hoo!
