Yup. Keltecs are reliable, basic, will do the job...............but lack the sexiness (or frankly comfort in shooting) of a PC9 or Camp9.
After Ruger goes over the initial production and works out any bugs (especially given their recent run of recalls) Im in. Like said above I wouldn't mind seeing a .45. Given Ruger never made a .45 I doubt you will see one, though you might see a .40 in the future.
Hopefully being a tweak on a classic design there wont be any major growing pains.

Ruger is making many .45's now. True, the last PCC from them wasn't in .45 but I think that was aimed at police and not many carry .45's anymore. Different company now so I think there is a chance, or I'm telling myself that at least.
The only reason I'd pick a Sub-2k over this gun is if I need something that could fit into a super-tight space, or if I needed to use Beretta/Sig mags. I used to cart around my Sub-2k in a Plano large accessory box, which was pretty amazing. The Ruger is not going to be that small out of the box... maybe Magpul will come out with a backpacker stock make up some of the difference, but it won't be all of it.
But, otherwise, this seems to be a much better rifle. Charging handle is in the right place, take-down doesn't mess with the optics, etc.
I love the Sub2k. How many full-length rifles can fit into a laptop bag?
Don’t like how awkward it can be to shoulder while wearing cans. Also finicky with certain kinds of ammo.

Very tempting as I am looking for a 9mm rifle host for my Griffin Optimus. Hoping to get that tax back in the next month or two.
It's light and compact, don't get me wrong... I just didn't like much else about it when I owned one.
I loved shooting my PC9, but disassembly was a real PITA and I eventually moved away from the metal-brick P95, so I sold them as a set. This approach is very innovative and I think I need this. I hope aftermarket takes hold firmly. I love the idea of an internally suppressed barrel. I think a variety of magwells could be engineered (I would wish for models for VP9/P30L, single-stack 1911, and double-stack 1911). A .45 version would also kick ass. Finally, if this takes off, I think it possible that Ruger might expand to a bolt-action version, which would be another no-brainer for me.
I'd imagine an FFL could order the non-denuded model and sell it w/o a magazine.
I do hope you are right. As suggested by Erwos a Magpul Backpacker stock would be great. I just got one for a 10/22 and its a nice rig and comfortable.
Maybe they will turn out some nice distributor exclusive guns in things like laminate.
Tough competition, this or a just right carbine or both.
I just got a 10/22 with rugers factory backpacker stock, I LOVE IT. if this 9mm came out with a backpacker stock I would go crazy till I found one to buy. like I said before this is on top of my wants list right now.
Ooooooh! I bet you’re right about distributor models with laminate stocks. That would be dead sexy!!
THey are nice, I snagged a nice OD one from Optics planet for Blackfriday with a 20% coupon and free shipping. Just waiting to get a nice threaded stainless ruger TD to put in it.
A carbine would be sweet, is it a survival gun no but easy to stow and take to camp.
Always wondered how those held up. I think you are going to see a lot of canceled gun designs make a comeback, the designs exist, modern manufacturing techniques can make things cheaper.
Look forward to seeing how Ruger expands on this platform.
FYI incase you have a burning desire. I wouldn't unless you absolutely need to be the first guy on the block to get one. But its an option.

Cool, $520 shipped seems pretty reasonable

Ordered, it takes Glock mags, how could I not?
Sweet. I'm definitely in. Always intrigued by the 2K but could never quite talk myself into one based on the limitations. What kind of optics (if any) are you all thinking about for this?
