The trigger pull and finish on the Ruger is what I am interested in. I don't think the finish longevity will be known for some time. However, the trigger pull is a real factor for me. I hate the P3AT trigger as have most of the people I have talked to. If the Ruger has a better finish and trigger pull I might consider getting one once the bugs are worked out of them. I have had no problems with my KT but I don't shoot it much more than a few mags full at a time for the year or so I have had it.

I got my P3AT as a BUG which to me is nothing more than an emergency gun if my main carry goes down and I must get away. I don't really care if it doesn't hold-up to several thousand rounds as long as it will fire when I need it. It is recommended that the KT be inspected often. I think that may be a problem some are having with it. I don't think the Ruger will do much better in the hands of those who want to put hundreds of rounds thru it at a time. I take these types of guns as shoot 50 and break it down and clean and inspect it. Future generations of these "plastic pocket guns" will be more reliable as better plastics are used and the fitting issues are worked out. Until then, I look at all these smaller guns as basically disposable guns in that the frame and/or parts are going to warp or break eventually. The more the gun is shot the faster that is going to happen. So, I shoot mine enough to hit the target and inspect and clean/oil it often. It is the price we have to pay, for now anyway, for an inexpensive and very concealable BUG. That is my opinion.

Thanks for the review.
