Kel Tec Sub 2000 one year review

[@Chiefskingdom58]

Picked one up in early 2019 for $316 after tax, added all the MCarbo stuff so that was more than I paid for the gun. I recommend MCarbo...like another commenter said a bit pricey but makes the rifle 3x’s better...sucks you need to pay to make it worthwhile. Rifle works fine as is, but if you don’t mind spending money on a keltec you’ll be happy with the improvements. Keltec had a mcarbo version for $800 at the time I bought mine, I paid less by doing the upgrades myself. I just saw one MCarbo model at a store for $1300... COVID has screwed everything up.

Bought mine 4 years ago, used 40 s&w 350$ red dot and minor upgrades 200$ total and muzzel brake. Only malfunction was with aluminum casing. Easy tl clean. Takes glock mags. Happy with it.

I heard it was a pain in the ass to take apart? But it looks so simple

[@kenb.9976]

On my Gen2 I updated the rear sight along with the 2 finger charging handle. Big improvement. It’s really fun to shoot, and everyone that has fired it walked away with a big smile on their face.

[@petesheppard1709]

I picked up my G19 grip S2K just the other day, and it's a real blast! When shouldering the gun, instead of tucking into my shoulder and scrunching my head down behind the sight, I raise it up to my eye, then move the toe of the stock back into the shoulder. It seems like the rifle is sitting on top, but it's actually a very steady, comfortable position for a light-recoiling caliber like 9mm or .223. For the safety, I use the middle knuckle of my thumb on one side, and the base knuckle of my trigger finger on the other; this makes for a very easy and quick safety operation. The biggest problem I have is the mag release, but I'm getting used to that as well.

[@Cyberhacker3]

We just use a "quick release picatinny riser" for our optic , put it on top of the gun for shooting , put it on the bottom of the gun to fold it up ,,,,, MCarbo sells a recoil buffer for them.

[@Nathan.44-40]

Thanks for your thoughts! I just picked up the Gen 3 and love it !💪🇺🇸

[@veevans01ify]

You’re right. I sold mine 4 years ago and regretted it. But I recently found a used Glock 19 one in good condition at a great price.

[@TheCollectiveIntellectual]

I agree about not adding much to these. Great lil basic plinkers that'll put a hurting on the bed guy's if needed.

[@rudyo8409]

Thar is a lot of great upgrades to the carabine " Paired with a G17 " it's a great choice.

[@FfrankieG176]

File down the picatinny rails just slightly and it will lock and hold zero that way. Forgot who’s video I saw it but it works. I had to file the bottom for the laser and flashlight combo I have on mine.

[@fargoalspach557]

Better tighten that light up, when you touched it the whole thing moved. I am about to purchase one.

[@georgesmith4639]

Just get the CQB version which has an integrated suppressor. It's just long enough to only need 1 tax stamp (for the suppressor). The barrel also rotates 90 degrees when folding so that you can have an optic on the top rail and still fold it.

[@tbcoachniblick1208]

On my gen two the first thing I did was remove the flimsy peep sight and the front sight. I then had room to put on a nice Bushnell red dot with a lifter rail to get perfect elevation so my cheek wasn't mashed against the recoil tube. I cut off an inch and a half of an old golf grip ( butt end) and slipped over the charging nob and it works great. I am still working on a recoil butt pad that will cover the pad and part of the tube where my cheek rests to make it softer... have shot 200 rounds since purchase and no jams for or stove pipes...cannot fold it all the way due to Red Dot but keep all my rifles in full length anyway. Have 3 Glock mags in 17, 21, and 25 rounds and all function great. Except for the sights, charging nob, and butt pad, give this gun a B plus... worth the sub 400 dollar price.👍🇺🇸🤔

[@mikm.6375]

Great review; I have the same light on a moveable picatinny mount on the bottom & had to order mine online w FFL bc my local had one & sold it while I was standing in line waiting to ask to see it lmao!!

[@FfrankieG176]

Same thing happened to me and had to wait another two weeks for it to come in. Smfh!!!

[@mrs.vasquezz]

Same here but luckily he had 1 more in the back!

[@uninspiredrambler]

My 2K in .40sw hates steel ammo. Jams every time and even managed to split a steel case by forcing it against the extractor. Brass cased no real problems. The only issue I've had with good ammo jamming was some hornady ballistic tipped that deformed when feeding. Fmj and flat nose runs just fine. Eventually I'll upgrade the feed ramp

[@UgliestGrandma]

Good to know thanks

[@BM-vj1px]

Look into the MCarbo mods. New rear site and 45 degree offset that install behind the rail.

[@israkin]

hi . i bought a STNGR Axio2 reddot that comes with QD nount so you can easily remove it and remount once its folded and holds zero when you reattach

[@American-BadAss732]

Why on Earth would they make a Glock 17 version and not just a 19 version with inserts so you can have more options?

[@redzone1019]

Good video. Have you had any issues with it within your first 2000 rounds? Did you make any modifications to it within your first 2000 rounds? Thanks

[@thefixerupperguy1992]

No problems yet. It’s one of my favorites to shoot, however if it have any beard hair the recoil tube/but pad likes to pluck the hair out.

[@petesheppard1709]

@@thefixerupperguy1992 That pesky beard plucker! I wrapped it with tape.

[@codyjenn8785]

thank you for the awesome video here in a week or two im going to buy the same exact kel tech sub 2k glock 17 version i think there awesome i need to find a good internet site to buy one i have thought about psa or gun broker

just turned 18 thinking about getting one

You have got a wonderful woman!

[@ronnguyen8287]

I can't imagine asking a female for permission to buy a gun. But for the guys that do you must have a pretty amazing wife.

Happy wife, happy life! Lol! Stay safe and healthy. Peace

'Happy wife, happy life'.....words from a 'winnie man'

[@KamalaKackles]

How does the accuracy hold up after folding it up and out numerous times.

[@thefixerupperguy1992]

With the stock sights yes. I've had different red dot mounted on different kinds of mounts but I could never keep it zeroed. The plastic rail seems to work loose after a while. I do think you could keep a red dot mounted to the top rail and crank it down and probably be ok, but then you loose your ability to fold it. That being said I've never had an issue with the stock sights holding up. Besides shooting in low light I haven't had a need for a red dot.

[@KamalaKackles]

@@thefixerupperguy1992 Thanks for the information. I was just about to get the Hi-Point 955ts, then I saw the Sub 2000. I’ve decided to go with the Kel-Tec.

Don't make a review if your going to be sniffing and clearing your throat the whole time.

[@СерегаМышца]

7 долларов коробка наших патронов? Или я не правильно услышал. Дешевле чем у нас продают получается. Зашквар какой

[@teacopem]

Putting any red dots or the like on this rifle is stupid imoits just adding more bulk and the entire point of this thing is to to fold up and fit in your pocket

[@ltx383]

What’s more stupid is trying to comprehend what the hell you said.

Oh and i don't ask my wife go buy anything I just buy it, but I understand where your coming from different strokes for different folks lol. He'll buy what you want then go home and if she says something about your new gun, you look at her in the eyes and say, baby I could never obtain enough guns to protect all this beauty that I married,lol. Mcarbo takes care of all the unnecessary plastic and makes it metal trigger guard and all.

[@outdoorman7425]

' Wennie Men' ask their wives for 'permission' to buy something; these are the kind of guys that say ' I gotta ask momma if I can '

[@doughboy7686]

I know this video is old but when the sun2000 came out i saw it was a good idea but cheaply made. If you still have it trade it in and get a total mcarbo keltech sub2000 cost about 1050 to 1100 with all the mcarbo upgra des. 4 to 4.5 lb trigger pull, all metal internals, hardly any recoil muzzle brake/compensator and you can shoot plus p in the mcarbo version. All around better on all levels shoots as good if not better than my cmmg banshee 9mm and my dabiel defense. Mcarbo made it a go to war defend yourself carbine
