This is a one year follow-up/review of the Keltec Sub2000 in 9mm Glock17 format. I bought one for my wife about a year and half ago and was so impressed that I bought another one for myself two weeks later.
For general information, the Sub2000 in offered in Glock17 9mm, Glock19 9mm, Beretta 9mm and S&W 40mm formats.
After firing over 1000 rds through one and over 2000 rds through the other, I am happy to report that they have performed flawlessly. I have not experienced any issue whatsoever! It appears to feed all brands of ammo that I have thrown at it.
It fits our needs for a B.O.B. rifle very well. Our side arms are Glock17s (9mm). I like that both our side arms and our rifles use the same mags. With 3-17 rd mags and 2-32 rd mags in the B.O.B., it gives you 117 rds of 9mm. At a folded length of only 16 inches and 4 pounds, it fits in my B.O.B. or can hang under a jacket from a shoulder strap. Great concealment potential. If you were to have to scavage for ammo, 9mm is probably the most common you would encounter and have the opportunity to gather.
In close quarters, you would always reach for your sidearm. To reach out and touch someone/thing, you must unfold the rifle to use it. Unfolding and locking takes maybe 2 seconds.
Is it as accurate as my 223 with a scope? Nope, never, not even. But is it not trying to be an AR15 either. But at a list of $299 (bootlegs at $300-350), it is a lot of bang for the buck in my opinion.
Even though the rifle has folding plastic sights, I have found it to be very, very accurate. At 100 yards, I can place rounds within a paper plate all day. At 200 yards, by aiming about 15 inches high, I can hit body mass consistantly.
There are several after market options out there to make yours a bit different or more comfortable. On the pics below, you can see where I have "played" with both of mine.
For what these were designed to do, I find them to be a great performing rifle at a reasonable price. I'm willing to bet my life on one.
I hope you find this review useful.
