Kel-tec Sub 2000 ( Chapter 2 )

[@Hysteria98]

I've never seen bullets mid-flight ever until I started watching his videos. I was stunned, couldn't believe it for ages!

[@isnotmaybe]

Word

[@DT0me7624]

I didn’t understand what you meant until the 2:00 minute mark…😮

[@einhinder8809]

I have the .40 version. Bought mine used, 3-4 years ago, zero malfunctions. EXTREMELY accurate, no question. Second only to my T53 :)

[@C5drummer]

...you are one dangerous man, Hickok45!! I'll be the one standing behind you if there ever is a Zombie Apocalypse! Most everyone enjoys your video's and your "everyman" opinion. It's refreshing, appropriate and appreciated!.

[@manuelestrada-hr4ls]

4 years and zero issues, great gun

[@CleanTheWookie]

"I'm going to try and hit the gong, I think....if I remember where to hold!..." *Hits center bullseye first shot*

[@rokaine7334]

Lmao ya feel me tho?!

[@renelopez2244]

Fantastic camp, bug out or when the shtf firearm. Small compact with serious knock down power. Great firearm

[@Sir_Wilo]

Its the laugh after he blows something up for me😂

[@NINEZER0F0UR]

First shot dead center on the gong, what else would you expect ?

[@johnnycodemunch9035]

YES!!!! i have been on the edge of my seat wating for a new hickok45 video!! i have watched them ALL up till about a year ago. we love you hickok45!!!!! liked and shared!

[@Tyler5346812]

Just picked one up. Had an issue with "military grade primer" firing through the weapon. Would impact primer and not go off. Turns out it was just the primer but its a good idea to make sure at a range the ammo you choose will cycle and fire correctly

[@yezkaholic]

Have you ran reloads through it?

[@cajunrotor]

Hickok, you are having WAY TOO MUCH FUN while still on this Earth! I am so envious of your setup.......geez! Thanks for sharing your fun time with us on the tube.

[@tonyartadi]

Anyone else notice that when he initially was shooting the gong you could see the bullets entering the picture then strike the gong.

[@MrDubo1]

Maybe you're the only one???

[@Scott.Farkus]

Yep, you can see'em dropping right in there.

[@Coldwallbar]

yeah

[@RRooooooNNNN]

Yes, I normally can see them in his other videos also .

[@michaelbook2019]

with 70+ yards of range and the camera zoomed all the way in, from right behind the shooter, is the ideal position to see bullets in flight.

[@Frank-lb9sq]

This is a great fun gun. I do recommend getting the stainless load ramp,trigger upgrade and trigger guard from mcarbo

[@petertosh4748]

Great gun after up grades

[@robertsansone1680]

When I owned a 40 S&W, I had some feed problems. I never could find round nose bullets. I never have learned why. I just bought a Sub 2000. I can't wait to try it. Thanks for the video.

[@onebigkahuna69]

I've got the 9mm S&W 5900 series mag version and just picked up the 40 S&W Beretta 96 version this past week.I noticed the other night that there selling on Gunbroker for near retail 280.00 for one and 300 for another most are in the 500. range.

[@Leitis_Fella]

I want one. I want one! This looks like possibly one of the best guns you can get. Pistol caliber, rifle-length, collapsible/foldable, accepts glock magazines... Man this just looks like a great little gun!

[@sheditz4962]

Bought one of these after shooting a couple days ago, and holy moly, I still have the bruise on my shoulder. .40 caliber ain't no joke.

[@connorbrown3008]

You're kidding right?

[@sheditz4962]

@@connorbrown3008 Nope, the stock/brace on it isn't smooth, and therefore doesn't do the best job at distributing the recoil force throughout the shoulder.

[@ChinAMAPutatoDragun]

most significant thing i've learned by watching these vids is not to know more about guns, but to know that life is good.

[@MoshotheSpear]

I always leave the gun range feeling pretty good about myself. The I watch one of Mr. Hickoks videos and I start feeling like a scrub. Every time he he hits that gong my I am reminded how much I have to do to improve.

[@TacticoolNinja]

I enjoyed this gun so much, I bought four of them. All are in 9mm, which was cheaper to buy, and easy to find. Purchased them all under $400, and one of them just recently. My family, and friends all enjoy shooting them at the range. I like the system it provides by pairing it with a Glock.

[@clementgeorge2449]

I have the Sub 2000 in .40 caliber. It is a lot of fun to shot. It is pretty accurate too. I pair it with my Glock 22 at the range. It's a blast!

[@scrapguy6816]

Please do a video on the keltech sub 2000 second generation. Please and thank you.

[@inthego]

indeed

[@mpdonohue7]

Love mine it's amazingly fun, accurate and reliable...... great vid....

[@JohnnieSensabaugh]

Cool, I wanted to see more of this gun. I'm honestly considering getting it as my first carbine.

[@ditto1958]

Wow. Its well over two years since you posted this video. 9mm and .40 are not in short supply, but .22 LR is still not back on the shelves.

[@andrewalcala941]

Nobody: Hickok45: I'm going for the gong *DING*

[@theKGB65]

Actually, I'm watching this from the future and you'll be glad to know that the ammo companies worked so hard to catch up with the demand of 2013 that they over produced to the point where a 50-round box of .40 cal. is now under ten bucks! Feels like the early 90's again!

[@randylahey176]

This didn’t age well

[@mpb929]

I'm from the further further future....it sucks.

[@billlee1724]

Hopefully this will come in 2022 lol

[@spyderxtra777]

Ahh the Kel tec sub2k..... I firearm I hated when I first saw it, but like it more every time I see it.

[@loknlode]

I miss mine. I can say, the muzzle rise was a little more than I expected and took some getting used to. I actually contemplated lead weights under the fore-grip. Was a great bag gun, especially when I was assigned to "well out of the way, middle of nowhere" duties.

[@thefinder808]

"If I remember where to hold..." and then he proceeds to hit the gong dead center at 90+ yards on first shot.

[@djangophileSWING]

RWS is known to have a very hard primer. In a 1911, they function flawlessly (45ACP) but for a SW, Glock, or any striker fired gun, misfires are inevitable. Great accuracy!

[@drengillespie]

I grabbed a Gen 2 (.40S&W) last week and had my first range day with it. The two things I noticed were how quiet it was (180 grain FMJ) and how much spent powder ended up on my hand. My trigger and middle fingers were pretty much black.

[@justinmoody6721]

I have to say it is nice to see Hickok miss every now and then just to let people know he's not a cyborg or something, even though it happens pretty rarely.

[@rasinkanesrenegaderebel6962]

Just wanted to say I really enjioy your videos. You really go into datail on jjst about everything. Dont stop keep them coming and ill keep watching

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

A little Jed Clampit there at 00:20 - love it.

[@BillMcKn]

Hickok, I loved when you pulled out your Glock 27. You shot so much faster, more confidently, and I believe more accurately. You are definately Mr. Glock!!!

[@mmmpie]

GOD I love seeing the bullets travel and hit the gong! another great vid Hickok.

[@TheSly123123]

lol I saw the bullets coming from the gun to the gong

[@crankygunreviews]

I love how you can see the rounds hitting the gong. They almost look like tracers lol

[@jffrocks]

I loved watching Hickok ringing that gong again and again. And then there was the spray paint can vaporized in thin air. I've long dreamed of someone so good with a rifle that they could shoot a tagger's spray can out of his hand and give him a spray job...

[@markamsberg4159]

Love the dusting of the red paint can ! Great video ! Looks like you were having fun !

[@tannerroberstsonski2022]

I think it's cool how you can see the bullet hit the bong!

[@luckme10]

Hey Hickok45 here talking for a bit about Miller High Life. I like to relax and put back a few of these bad boys after a long day. Best part is... when I'm done drinking these cans, I can 'cycle these cans. Pulls out revolver. Knocks over 6 cans. Camera pans up for facial shot. "Life is good."

[@ManwaMasterPlan]

I love to see the bullet's flying in the air. Coolest thing ever.

[@colliniams9784]

It's called vapor trail, sniper team spotters use a technique referred to as "trace", along with "splash", to assist the shooter in making adjustments. It would most likely be difficult to see vapor trail with a pistol caliber in person, but large caliber rifle projectiles are relatively easy to observe through a spotting scope, and are much more pronounced through a camera.

[@bentstrider]

Just picked one of these up today myself. Gonna go put it to the test on a quiet day down at the range. Get my feel for it.

[@apmauk]

I added a green laser on the "pickatinny rail that kel- tech sales & mounted on lower fore- stock ". My green laser can be seen at 25 yds., 50 yds. & sometime at 100 yds. on a sunny day even, this helps so I don't have to use the iron sights just bring the butt to your shoulder to steady the green dot on target and pull the trigger! I can even shoot from the hip at 25 yards. I did have a trigger job done to bring down trigger pull from 11.5 lbs. down to to 4.5 lbs.

[@thudable]

I just love this gun. Fires pistol caliber rounds, uses common mfgr. mags. I gotta get one for a truck gun. THANKS HICKOK!!!

[@ericdecker7376]

One of the better guns from kel tec for sure

[@shootmup1]

i love how you can see the bullets when you are shooting at the gong! that's pretty cool!

[@witherillae]

Hickok45, you could be quite the composer on those plates and the gong. LOL. Great vid!

[@BillHesse]

Damn you for having so much fun hickok45! There will be a reckoning when I am done with my next degree and you won't be the only one!!! Joking aside I like you videos a lot. Too many people forget to have fun!

[@mglmouser]

I have the 9mm canadian version. An absolute hoot to shoot. I love it and has a permanent place in my gun transport case.

[@5piRitCru5h3R]

Hickok45 never lets me down, if i wanna watch a nice information orjust plain fun gun video i always watch Hickok45's. And the sub 2000 is a beautiful gun, i hope to get the chance to shoot a keltec sub 2000 one day.

[@ChadHardcastle]

When I don't have time or money to shoot, your videos are the next best thing.

[@mattconklin4026]

Just picked the gen2 up the other day, first 100 rounds down range, im hooked. Great shooting gun

[@floatahhh]

Any jams?

[@Peter556NATO]

Love watching those .40s just fly to the gong :D!

[@izzo3262010]

God bless this man. He can really shoot.

[@DeepPurpleAreKings]

You just made a million of green schmacks mad when you shoot that red paint can :)))))) I love it, more please!

[@miketroxell7425]

I just bought my second sub 2k. This one was the M Series with all the internal mods from Mcarbo. I love both these guns.

[@TommyboyGTP]

Agreed, and lever actions as well. Plenty of those.

[@mikeandrewp]

The Shooting Tree is sort of like The Giving Tree, but much more fun to introduce to your kids.

[@mitzi2500]

I have an early version of the Sub 2000 carbine (called the Sub 9). I bought it new several years ago and have gotten a lot of enjoyment from it. Mine takes the 9mm S&W 5900 series magazines and, except for the plastic grip panels, is all metal unlike the later Sub 2000. FWIW, back when I bought mine, the Sub 9s were almost twice as expensive as the Sub 2000s are today.

[@SentryGunleather]

My buddy used to have one of those... awesome little thing!

[@bunnystew]

This gun is the pinnacle of " Truck Guns". Fits right under your seat, slap a fun stick in that badboy and you've got yourself a foldable fighting tool.

[@MadBuilder1]

this video is a good example of how slow the 40 is compared to other rounds you can see the bullets going to the targets

[@brentballington]

H45-Great Vid!!I have alot of respect for Kel-Tec,they have the best customer service that I have encountered and they are very innovative.I can't remember the exact model #,but they have a interesting .308 cal. bullpup rifle.The one problem they do have is availability.Even though I only live 25 minutes from their factory,and have friends & relatives working there,I havn't been able to purchase a KSG and it took me forever to get my PMR-30.They also have a rifle based on the PMR-30.

[@icanhaztitz]

I kind of want one of these as my first gun... Im not a huge fan of pistols other than for carry/defense and I like that this is small yet still powerful enough and has the feel of a rifle.

[@TheFiveand2]

I love the fact that you can see the bullets fly as they hit the gong

[@pssita]

Picked one up tonight. Can't wait to shoot it. Wanted 9mm but only had 40. Looks like I might have to add a glock 22..

[@yezkaholic]

How much did you pay for the 40

[@pappaclutch3266]

$400 and $509 for my G23 gen 4

[@jeeplife2035]

I just got one today came with 4 boxes of ammo two 30 rnd mags and an 17 rnd mag with a threaded barrel all for $600!! That’s a steal right now in 2021…

[@jadenspapa26]

Nice rifle...Would love to own one...Been looking for one locally but no go as of yet but still looking....Might check out Bud's and see if they have one and as far as the ammo goes I got a 40cal back in Oct of 2013(M&P Shield) and was having problems getting ammo for it but not any more....Can find it locally and ALL over the net ALL the time.....Seems now and for almost a year now I've having probs getting 380acp/22LR/22WMR's......Nice vid and thanks for the review and I'll be staying away from the RWS ammo as I almost bought some for my wife's LC380.......Gonna try and stick with American ammo or atleast Fiochi/PMC.......Would love to have two of these rifles in 40 & 9mm..........Keep the vids coming love the reviews and always try and take your word on things........But I'm a S&W fan,LoL..........Don't mind Glocks at all either and looking for a nice pair in 9mm that my wife and I might like in the same so we can which out mags if SHTF.......She has issues with racking due to health issues(reasons she went with the Ruger LC380,very very easy to rack,And fits her hand like a glove as the Shield fits mine like a glove also)......Thanks again for the vid......

[@tiggerr42431]

On a stormy day in Ky this is a great video to celebrate the week with on a gun I have little knowledge about. Kind of a fascinating concept. But then I own more than one Mare's Leg and have one with a laser because they are simply fun to shoot.

[@hillbilly4christ638]

And here we are in the future and pistol caliber carbines are all the rage!

[@socc4298]

The fact that the charging handle is on the bottom of the stock is kinda weird but I think it's one of the biggest positives. It's rare to find a truly ambidextrous or left handed gun that doesn't break the bank. It's an elegant and unique solution to the problem.

[@ManFlaver]

I've never really seen this gun. Definitely an interesting backpacking/camping gun.

[@TheTyrial86]

Its pretty interesting to think because rifle rounds break the sound barrier, its pistol rounds that travel slower but yeah its pretty cool

[@hunteradams3425]

I got a Kel-tec Sub 2000 .40 after seeing your first video. It's a heck of a fun gun to shoot!

[@wloy01]

Deadly accurate! that's all you need to know about Hickock45.

[@pastorpfp1]

Hey Mr. Glock man, I thought you would like to hear what our local police chief said to me when I bought my Glock 22 from one of his officers a few years ago. "Welcome to the Glock family and good to see a preacher carrying a glock. " Well, I sure love it and have had zero trouble with it. I love to shoot it, but as most guys finding it hard to find bullents. Love your vids! Great job!

[@popojojo7]

I hope no one ever tries to break in your house. Love the videos!

[@strixmel]

I have the earlier Sub-9, and it is still sweet after 14 years.

[@deancounts5620]

You should test the Kel Tec SU-16 its their "foldable" 5.56 rifle, holds all standard AR mags and weighs I think just under 5 pounds for a full size rifle! SU-16C I think is their most updated version, folds down to like 25-26 inches.

[@ianarno]

I'd have to second that suggestion.

[@camtv98]

Make me third on that suggestion.

[@alexisbarba4230]

aye I was curious about asking but...watchu know about the reliability of this banger??is it somethin u would really TRUST your life with and the life's of your FAMILY???or its just a range toy like a hi point??for example, is it the saturn u use from A too B??or the whip u use as a family vehicle to get u to go too work and the weekend cruiser as well??I just want your honest opinion my dude

[@brybrycrivello]

I have a sub2000 in 9mm. Had a lot of FTE with it. Finally figured out on my own that it was the magazines. I believe it is temperamental with magazines. I got a newer mag with an updated follower and it worked perfect. This is with glock magazines. Also they were 10rd mags. Yea NY sucks.

[@JohannVF]

Kel Tec has a really nice softcase for the sub-2000 for sale on their site, if you were looking at this as a potential truck gun.

[@fin_jan]

Ultimate camp gun... Without a doubt!

[@emrguns1]

John, nice camera work, I could see the bullets jumping off the targets. Nice. TY

[@bobsaveland]

I think you've demonstrated the main advantages of the pistol-caliber carbine. You can shoot it accurately quickly compared to a pistol, and the main one, they are just a ton of fun.

[@drumavenger83]

i think the sub2000 is among the top semi auto pistol carbines. and back when you could get one for around $300, they were one of the cheapest

[@DanielQihuaiNg]

yes they are.

[@FrustratedNameSearch]

Works pretty much like a KelTec. They have rest periods built in so you don't get Carpel Tunnel :)

[@edamon20]

I always look forward to that laugh!!

[@nexu2010]

Fun Carbine to shoot. Easy to modify to fit your needs. I love shooting mine. Mr. Hickok45, Please add Keltec RFB to the list if not already

[@SuperOv10]

"Caught Red Handed"....Thats Comedy RAT THAR !!! EYE Love watchin you shoot...yer Good !!! Thanks for your Vids ...SIR !!!!

[@454pakr]

That lil sucker is ACCURATE! Good grouping on the gong!

[@LZTANGO316]

2:15 you can see bullet travel.. pretty amazing

[@kbutcher357]

Target shooting keeps us young..and frosty. 👍😎💪🇺🇲

[@zyx2323movies]

Love my 9mm S2K, It's just a fun gun to shoot... KelTek makes a few keepers here and there, and this is one of them... It's got it place with me... Also below, the only make it in 40sw/9mm, but there are a few types that use different magazines, SW/Sig and Beretta. Fun fun fun, don't pass one up if you can get it for the retail of 400 new or used for less

[@lazerrred]

I love my Sub 2K, and along with my Glock 23 what a great combo.Now, if I could only hone my skills to shoot as well as Mr. Hickok 45. Maybe one day soon, I hope when ammo is available again with reasonable pricing.

[@TheFeralcatz]

I think that that is the only Sub 2000 in existence. I have never even seen one before in real life!
