You don't have to worry about Ruger making them. Someone will step up and do it if they do not.
As far as me and the Mailman that could be a shady deal.
Actually it's more cost effective for ruger to produce one part that's not too complicated. Keeps their tooling change time down. Plus why not have extra magwells on you? If this carbine is reliable and durable I can see myself getting one. I have a sub2000 and it's just for plinking and pest control. No way I'd take it camping where a keltec might actually have to save my life.Agreed that's the case today- but with the modular magwell design, there is no reasonable reason they couldn't make magwell inserts for S&W M&P, S&W 59 series, Beretta 92, Sig 226, even HK VP9 or CZ75.
Why make the magwell a modular "insert" design if you're only going to support your own mags and Glock?... it's like 3/4 of a good implementation.
Even Kel-Tec got that part right with the Sub2000, it would be stupid not to at least try and release support for more mags.

It's hard to mess up a 9mm blowback gun. My biggest issue with the sub2000 is it's construction. I'm glad your guns work for you and you like them. I just want to see keltec use better parts. They are the harbor freight of guns. I will say its accuracy is nice.Shrug my Keltec firearms I have 5 have never let me down I would feel as safe with one of them as a Glock or any other firearm. I am not saying I have never had a malfunction but as far as I can tell < and I am not real smart > it has never been the gun that has failed.

I hear you on the quality/ruggedness... kel-tec is good at innovating, but they lack in production capacity and "ruggedness"... I like things about their designs, but they cheap out when they could make truly amazing firearms. Other manufacturers could learn something from them... and vice-versa. For example, the RFB has great design elements, but isn't tough enough to be anyone's MBR. As a right handed person that shoots lefty due to eye dominance, I wish it could be.It's hard to mess up a 9mm blowback gun. My biggest issue with the sub2000 is it's construction.

On my list of things to try.You don't mention shooting any HP ammo.
Have you tried any through it?

I would love to get one of the new ones, but the one my wife gave me for my 33rd birthday is still about flawless.
True. But it absolutely makes sense that Ruger would make it use Ruger mags. The fact that they had the foresight and good sense (and weren't too proud) to recognize that making it use the ubiquitous GLOCK MAGS just says a lot to me about how well Ruger is facing reality in the biz.When they make it in 10mm I’ll pick one up.
It’s pure genius to make them
Compatible with Glock mags. They are cheap, easy to find, most normal
people own a few, there are high capacity variants available and even Chinese/Korean knock offs available as well as drums.
I see no value to making them compatible with every gun magazine maker out there.

I'm abnormal, I don't see a need to own a single Glock mag... since I don't own a single Glock. So I assign zero value for being comptible with something I dont own... how odd of me.When they make it in 10mm I’ll pick one up.

I dunno . . . but you are self-identified as out on the Lunyfringe. Wait. Wut?I'm abnormal, I don't see a need to own a single Glock mag... since I don't own a single Glock. So I assign zero value for being comptible with something I dont own... how odd of me.
I do own some bricks and 2x4s... they feel roughly the same to me, does that count?
The political left identifies me as a lunatic fringe, I just embrace the title.I dunno . . . but you are self-identified as out on the Lunyfringe. Wait. Wut?
