they sorted all that out. lots of things have some bugs to work out when new that only come to surface when it gies to market......look at the auto industry . lots of companies have been "borrowing" designs to come up with a "new" pistol, the XD for one comes to mind. now if they take that design and make improvements to function or controls thats a good thing. folks have been doing that for the last 100 years with the 1911.bigfatdave wrote:Yes, they refined the P3at and made the LCP, and then went right into a recall

I know that borrowing features is nothing new in the firearms industry (or other industries) but I'm starting to wonder if Ruger fired their R&D department and just follows KT on facebook now.
I think I'm on record as liking Ruger's designs in most cases, but they're going to have to add more than a mag interlock, manual safety, and LCI to the pf9 to "improve it".
One of the things I like about KT is their refusal to make CA-legal guns, I may buy a PF9 just to amuse myself now, I don't need another 9mm but I need the KelTec more than I need a lawyer-molested Ruger copy of it.
