Talk:Kel-Tec P-3AT

message: In Feb of 2008, Ruger released Ruger_LCP very similar weapon.   Is the statement In a Guns & Ammo review, Wiley Clapp said, "Ingenuity is often nothing more than a combination of existing principles applied in unique ways. Kel-Tec's new P-3AT has no single feature that is not established in modern pistol design, yet it has no competition in its niche." still to be considered valid?
I mean to say that while the statement was accurate when it was said, I'm thinking that perhaps it is no longer so.

replies: text: I think it's now important as a historical document, and so the date needs to stay prominent. The Ruger_LCP is generally considered to be a copy of the Kel-tec, and while it now outsells the 3AT, they will never wear that design nor ingenuity crown.  Because there is no graceful way to explain that, one might be tempted to simply delete the statement. Yet that seems even less graceful (by what it obscures)...Or "facts over truth."  --68.127.80.89 (talk) 05:40, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: I wonder if the 'comparable' statement is no longer apropos

message: My local shop range has this weapon in a dark pink or 'raspberry' color as the sales woman described it, they also have a 2 tone that I would describe as an grass green reciver and an OD green slide. I didnt see these mentioned on the Kel Tec website, but I have held them in my own hand so I know they exist. 12.129.136.5 (talk) 22:54, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Particularly because it was the first to fill its "niche" as noted above, it's date of birth is important.  --68.127.80.89 (talk) 06:01, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
