A “perfect copy” would look identical, rather than very similar.
The Kel-Tec is, for instance, more rounded at the front of the frame. The shape of the trigger guard is different. The decorative/weight-trimming cut-down on the front of the slide and frame is differently shaped and positioned.
Clone, in the normal gun-world sense of “same design, different details”.
(What I don’t understand is why they’re bothering – they’re not really undercutting Kel-Tec on price, from what I can see, which is what might make a knockoff compelling.
Ruger at least had the decency to price it higher and provide [by various reports] better quality.)

It’s not a clone. Just a perfect copy.

HEAVY Trigger. Passed on one a couple of months ago. Something about having the Muzzle tracking 747’s before it went “Bang” was scary.
