So...right now the STI/SVI is more consistent... I'm just yankin' your chain on this one. I'm picking up what you're putting down, it's just a matter of finding a good mag maker. Or, maybe it's time to alter the Caspian frame to run Wilson X9 mags?
But I guess the question for Ruger would be, what's gained by going in on a Limited/L10 platform, when they have a solid single-stack design that can run L10 rather easily if they do 9mm and .40 barrels?
I would think there is more ground to be gained focusing on an "American" model that fit SSP and Production slots.
They did, yes. I don't think they have made one in several years now. I have no idea where you'd find reliable short mags. It would be kind of a cool gun, but it's also so chunky it makes a G30 look svelte.
I don't think the target should be competition guns at this point. Going to give the edge to STI / SV / other copies on that one. It's not like I'd ever put my EDC X9 against my STI for Limited or Limited 10. That said, I think the carry market and possible IDPA could be the entry point. My EDC X9 is less bulky than my VIP, and my Fantom is less bulk than the X9.
Hmm, maybe I'll take some comparison pics this weekend.
Probably only .45 ACP.
ETA: Apparently, they still make it, and only in .45.

Looks like there already is a Koenig model...
