Ruger sure likes to copy Kel-Tec.
Their designers are sharp, and willing to move the bar.
Darn shame their execution isn't better.
The P3AT, and FP9 were the beginning of substantial trends.
But they seem to want to be in the bottom feeder class, and didn't
push top quality, or evolve the platforms.
The high tier people would have made the initial 380.
Then added sights.
Then a slide stop.
Then a double stack.
Then a bit longer grip.
And the "Gotta have the newest fad churners", would have bought a copy of every evolution.
Kel-Tec allowed everyone else to cover them in dust.
