Looks an awful lot like a P3-AT. What's the chance that Ruger will make a Mass compliant version?

Like the Kel-Tec, only not as Kel-tecky. It's a hair bigger overall.

Just in time for Valentine's day. Now, if they'll just come out with a subcompact 9mm, all will be well in the world.

"What's the chance that Ruger will make a Mass compliant version?"

About the same chance as Deval Patrick adopting a platform of common-sense, fiscally-sound, responsible government.

And, even if they did, it would only be compliant for a year or so when the mandatory mind-reading handgun requirement kicks in in 2010.

whats happening in 2010?? a new law? or was that a joke lol

Do you think they licensed the design of the P3AT from Kel-Tec? It looks almost identical!

 

[dixidawg]

Possibly. Some on the KelTec boards are even speculating that KelTec is making it for Ruger.

Looks like a nice pistol. Now if only it was a little bigger and chambered in 9mm!!! Like a more solid kel tek pf9.

In MA, anything that bizarre is possible. I'm sure we'll have people like Linsky, Creem et al, suggesting guns should be equipped with DNA probes to ensure that only authorized
owners can fire them, or some crap. That's probably right around the corner.
