The Ruger is a better copy of the Kel-Tec P3AT. The Taurus TCP is a copy of the same design as well. I have a very old, early model Ruger LCP and it has been flawless. 3500ish rounds down range, not one jam or problem ever. It’s the gun that EVERYONE that carries guns should have in their collection. Why? Because it’s so small you can be sure to have a gun on you always. When I’m at the beach with a bathing suit or wearing athletic running shorts I can still have a gun on me. I usually carry a Glock 26, 42, or 43 (own and carry all three), but when I’m wearing light clothing, the LCP gets the nod. Great carry gun, beats your fist or a stick.
