Wrong choice of words again. I have to stop posting so early in the morning! I agree with you that Ruger most likely did their research and has deeper pockets in case Kel Tec files.

I'l looking forward to getting my hands on one!

I studied those charts and can't find too many differences. They exploded it differently but when you compare the majority of the parts they are very close. Perhaps KT has an agreement with them. I don't know much about copyright laws. If they can control the quality and fit & finish they should have a hit at that price point.

It looks like it may be a bit wider and a bit taller. Perhaps I'll be able to get two fingers on this one.

I found the exploded parts view and it looks identical to the Kel-Tec. With a little luck the fit and finish will be better and there will be fewer problems out of the box.
