Check out the New Ruger

Apparently Ruger has decided to give Kel-Tec and Skyy a run for their money. Check it out:

They are also going after the Glock, XD, M&P market:

Now, Ruger has traditionally gone the route of blazing new trails, not following other companies, but still I think the LCP is a good move. None of the larger manufacturers are offering anything like it. NAA's Guardian is a lot heavier all steel gone, as are the Kahrs and the AMT backups. Glock isn't allowed to import it's .380, but I think it is a lot bigger. Only the Kel-Tec and the Skyy are out there and I don't know if Skyy has a .380. Now if Ruger wants me happy, put out a well-made competitor for the P-11 and P-9.
