Ruger's offering is a direct knockoff of a very popular gun that was flying under the radar of the firearms media. Without the P3 AT Ruger's Little Copy of a keltec Pistol would never have happened.

Springfield shortened the grip for the XD Custom (.45 ACP), I guess the people that did that no longer work for SA and the new folks thought a shorter barrel was needed, not a shorter grip.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448573800625757326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-35045307092280793622009-12-08T07:05:03.224-07:002009-12-08T07:05:03.224-07:00Hey Ruger...want to REALLY impress us?

Not much larger than the .380's but with the punch of the .45.

Having shot it on a couple occasions at the range where I work, it is a beautifully-executed .380. The Kel-Tec is a decent pocket pistol with few frills and little fanfare, the Ruger (kinda like the XD did in the 9mm world) drives a lot of folks into the gun stores and is a fine shooter in its own rite, but that litle Sig is pure goodness.Your Humble Narratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15420389197828325729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-53475382944883333532009-12-07T22:28:05.662-07:002009-12-07T22:28:05.662-07:00Dandapani:LH said I would have to commit to taking...Dandapani:<i>LH said I would have to commit to taking 1000 pieces before they would even commit to asking S/W for such a model.</i><br /><br />I think for the good of the shooting community you should max out your cards, second (or third) the mortgage and sell a kidney if needed to get those 1000 revolvers in production. <br />It's the least you could do for your friends.KM200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-48812896254318469262009-12-07T19:45:15.383-07:002009-12-07T19:45:15.383-07:00The LCP is ok for a bug, but the Sig P238 is great...The LCP is ok for a bug, but the Sig P238 is great as a bug and a shooter with very mild recoil compared to the other .380's out there.<br /><br />My P238 has been great with zero issues but I noticed that the extractor didn't have the proper profile radius per Kuhn's 1911 manual....a little filing and she works even better and Mustang mags work in it too, both 6 and 7 rounders.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-14940807088594597122009-12-07T19:28:49.407-07:002009-12-07T19:28:49.407-07:00I credit Ruger with rocking the industry, which th...I credit Ruger with rocking the industry, which they did...I like Kel-Tec, but their .380 entered the market without a ripple.
