Nah, I understood your points, they were well written and quite clear.
I simply find them ludicrous for my purposes.
This 1000:1 ratio of laptop cases to duffel bag nonsense and that "homeless people carry duffel bags" (two statements you didn't write, adding for debate's sake) is plain wrong. Case in point: I had the family out and about the St. Louis Metro area in several different burbs this weekend. Malls, restaurants, several retail venues, etc. No one was carrying a laptop, case or otherwise.
There were, mind you in select places that would necessitate their use, several folks carrying some kind of top zip bag with shoulder straps.
I don't carry a duffel bag in normal day-to-day activity, but an AR in a duffel in my vehicle is discreet enough that I don't worry about theft or alarming a police officer for whatever reason. I conceal a handgun, that's a non issue, so I'm armed nearly all the time (couldn't get buy wearing a piece while I work) but no one would bat an eye if I had a top zipping bag, similar to what I use for transport of my work attire, work out clothing, or a "poor man's" range bag. See, I live in the corn belt, and no one, NO ONE carries a laptop case. Simple as that.
My point is: I personally, from my experience, do not find the Sub2K to be a generally good gun, and I do not find the method of chosen carry by fellow THR members for that gun ,should I hypothetically like the Sub2K, to be even remotely practical for my needs.
I will, however, agree with you that KT is a lower rung company. But, hey, what do I know? I don't use laptops anymore and own(ed) a Hi Point carbine.
