“I don’t understand why KelTec isn’t trying to satisfy demand.”
Exactly! Their business model makes no sense to me. If they just want to innovate perhaps they should find someone to manufacture for them. That said, I don’t know how much contract manufacturing goes on in the firearms industry.
Keltec's dirty little secret is they're actually an aerospace machining operation that got into guns as something to take up their downtime. Given the demand for their products, I'd say their aerospace business must be rather lucrative.
