Kel-Tek Sub 2000 in .40 S&W

[Blackcloud6]

I'm thinking of getting a Kel_Tek Sub 2000. I had a chance to shoot the 9mm version (Glock mags) and was impressed with the accuracy. Any have one in .40 S&W? How is it? I don't have anything in .40 S7W but have a bunch of pistols in 9mm.

How is ammo cost compare between the 9mm and 40?

Thanks in advance!

Generally, .40 S&W is about the same as .45 ACP. Expect to pay around $10-$12 for a box of 50 FMJ's and $18-$22 for 20 factory JHP's. Basically, $.40-$1.00 per round is possible.

I have the Sub2000 in .40 cal. It's very reliable. The sights are horrible though. I just sent mine back to Keltec because it shot 6" left with the sights adjusted as far as it would go. Of course it's under warranty. Eventually I'm going to replace the sights with either a red dot sight or the AR type sight from blueforcegear.

If I didn't already have a pile of Glock 22 magazines and 40 ammo I would've bought the 9mm instead since plinking ammo is half as much $.

I had one... it was ok. Hard to use the sights.... I ended up selling it at a gun show though. Got for it, you 'll probably like it. 9mm is alot cheaper to shoot though.

I bought a Sub2000 recently and chose 9mm. 9mm is cheaper to shoot and I bought mine to plink with. You say you have lots of 9mm pistols...a consideration may be to buy a sub2000 that is compatible with one of your pistols. That is, the sub2000 in 9mm you purchase uses magazines from one and only one of the following guns: Glock 17, Glock 19, Beretta 92, S&W 59 or Sig 226. You chose the model. I got the Glock 17 compatible model because I had plenty of 10 and 17 round magazines and also a G18 magazine with 31 round capacity...great for serious plinking.

Thanks for the help guys. I think I'll go with the 9mm version. I have a Beretta 92FS so getting a Kel-Tec that takes those mags is the way to go. I see there are 92FS 30 round mags availble for $18-20. Much less than the Glock mags.
