KelTec Sub 2000 Impressions -- The Good and Bad of this Carbine

[Ed Ames]

Yeah, as I said I'd rather just have a detachable shoulder stock for my pistol, but GCA '34 makes that difficult. The SUB2K is a reliable, accurate, and relatively inexpensive work-around for a bad law. It isn't my dream gun by any stretch but it has operated flawlessly and it didn't cost much.

I'm glad it works for you, and that your experiences with it do not mirror mine. Not to say now that folks aren't trying to sell them for $600+ due to panic, I wouldn't try another. I just have my bases covered by other weapons.

Happy shooting.

Happy shooting.

That is something we can all agree on!

...and that the panic pricing on KT guns gets absolutely insane. $700 for a pistol designed to sell for $300. $2800 for a rifle designed to sell for $1200. I don't get it...but then again I have never paid that sort of markup for any gun.

BTW: I have more reason than most to critize the quality of KT guns at times. My RFB came drilled with a too-big firing pin hole, leading to jams and perforated primers. Fortunately I bought it new so there is a warranty, and I paid a reasonable price (well below MSRP) so I'm not feeling burned the way I would if I'd bought it off gunbroker for whatever absurd prices they were going for. It is also, once taken care of, a nice little rifle that offers something I can't get anywhere else. My SUB2K has been reliable since day one.

Happy shooting!
