I don't know a great deal about KT but I have three of their weapons. Two are flawless and one is back in Cocoa right now. The aerospace industry in that area is drying up as we type so I hope they are not too heavily involved in that industry.
I can guess at a few reasons for the limited production.
First is that it may not be a very profitable item for them and they don't really want/need to produce more. I used to sell some products that were marginal for me so I sold them but did not really try to push them. How much demand is really out there for a $2000 KT? I don't know.
The second might be available capital. These guns may require eqipment that costs a great deal and the owners are not willing to invest more capital right now. While it makes sense to most people to spend the money up front and make it back over time there are a lot of companies that either are heavily in debt and can't get additional financing or just feel that "cash is king" and prefer not to get heavily in debt.
It is also possible that a lot of the parts for these guns are produced on the same machinery as their pistols which are the guns that pay their bills. This would tie into #2 if they are only able to allocate a limited amount of time to the production of these weapons.
There are a lot of other possibilities. One thing I am pretty certain about is that KT management has not made the decision to limit production because they don't really want to make more money. I have worked with a lot of companies, public, private, huge and small and have yet to hear one say that they were happy with their income and really did not need to make more.
