I bought a Gen 2 KelTec Sub 2000 and put a side mount with a top swivel optic adapter on it. I believe at the time it cost around $75. I put a Sig Romeo 5 red dot optic on it and it has kept zero every time I take it out & shoot it. Overall I am pleased with the way it shoots, and is very accurate. I also put on MCarbo's sleeve over the tubular frame as well as the spongy washer in the back of the bolt carrier to lessen recoil. Glad to see other manufacturers coming out with their own models. The more the merrier!

One point about the KelTec Sub 2000 gen2 is a Glock 17 round mag fits flush and you get a smaller folded profile than he showed using a larger mag. Carry folded with a 17 round mag in it for the minimum profile and larger mags can be brought along in case needed.

Probably good to point out the Midwest Industries rotatable optic mount for the gen 2 Sub 2000 that lets you fold the rifle with an optic that has the Aimpoint micro thread pattern. I've ran one for awhile and while I haven't done any hardcore testing on return to zero repeatability, it easily hits steel at 300. EDIT: Midwest also has a picatinny version. MCarbo also has a plate that mounts to the frame of the sub 2000 that lets you mount an optic that flips to the side similar to Eotech or other manufacturer magnifiers

I picked my gen2 up a couple years back for $350. Completely different, and very reliable pcc. There needs to be an mcarbo/keltec v SW side by side review. Iraq won't do it though.

One thing to consider about the cost: I have two Sub2ks, really like them, but by the time I beefed them up with M*Carbo upgrades (which are great), I could have gotten the more expensive S&W (several key pins and parts in the Kel Tec probably won't hold up well over time and heavy use. The plastic feed ramp was one of the first changes). We don't know yet how durable and reliable the S&W will be, but I am very happy with my Sub2ks. I know that John Lovett at Warrior Poet really doesn't get the point of the Sub2ks, but I love that I can easily stow it in a backpack, it's really quiet when suppressed (another thing he's not keen about on ARs, but to me, if you have to use it in your home, and you blow out your ears, wreck your hearing - that's not optimal), it's something that a brand new shooter can pick up and shoot reasonably well without a lot of training. Anything with a stock is much easier to shoot well than a pistol. I get his preference for ARs, but I think there's a viable niche for the Sub2ks.

I bought a S2K Gen 2 in .40 S&W, that can run the same mags as my issued .40 S&W M&P pistol, which was gifted to me by my police agency when I retired. I immediately outfitted it with a bolt tube cover, better iron sights, M-lok covers and plan on a red/green dot optic (mounted on a Midwest Industries mount). In my opinion, this PCC almost demands an optic to help with felt recoil from the bolt tube resting on your cheek. Although it's not perfect, the ability to carry a pistol and rifle that uses the same mags is hard to beat. If I didn't already have the M&P pistol, I might've gone a different route.

At nearly 6 lbs., at that point wouldn’t an AR in 5.56 make more sense? An AR with a separated upper and lower might still fit in a larger backpack, and putting it back together by popping two takedown pins in only takes an extra second or two. No, it wouldn’t be Inspector-Gadget cool, but a basic AR would cost the same or less, weigh the same, and be much more effective at every distance (more accurate, softer-shooting, better ballistics, more devastating effects on target).

It would only make sense if a potential buyer wants a more powerful cartridge. Since not everyone wants or needs the power/noise/blast levels of the 5.56, it makes sense to have alternative calibers that shooters can choose from. Or to put it another way - not everyone has the same needs or desires as you. Or me. But certainly your point is valid for a lot of people.

Keltec gen 3 solves optic by rotating barrel.
@davidgoodnow269
@davidgoodnow269 Жыл бұрын
Something I am surprised I don't see more often: I favor riveting a couple of metal spring clips to the fore and aft on the Keltec forend to hold a spare 33-round magazine either side, and attach a short section of Picatinney 1913 rail to the side of the recoil tube to store a QD mounted Red Dot sight for storage. I favor keeping a sling with a magazine pouch on it, and taping a single round to the receiver by the ejection port, providing a cheap and handy travel and storage package with one hundred rounds of ready ammunition. Because a good QD mounted sight doesn't lose zero in storage and is only a few seconds to move, it gives a good alternative to the factory sights. Adding a flashlight under the barrel is a very practical finishing addition, and all pretty inexpensive. The butt storage for M&P magazines gives the S&W carbine a similar ability, and it doesn't require relocating the sight for storage. Bulk ends up being similar. I think the S&W recoil spring is even heavier, but I don't see much difference practically between the two. The real questions are accuracy, and price, and availability. Of course an integral suppressor is the dream!

My Gen 2 had a plastic front post that eventually warped. I now have the FPC and traded in the KelTec. The KelTec is sub standard quality compared to the FPC.

Keltec pulled a fast one though cuz currently you can easily get a S2K for under $300 with the $100 rebate they extended until next year. Evened the playing field in my opinion. I don't love the S2K. My buddy had one. But throw a red dot on it and you have a decent cheap lightweight Hi Point competitor that can run as a home defense gun or a buddy gun or even a truck gun. Even if you never fold it.

Have it fold sideways like the FPC so optics can stay mounted ,give it a last shot bolt hold open feature, and strengthen the fragile rear sight that too easily snaps off.

@@tommccormick9290 yes! Or side folding with no iron sights so users can pick their own flip up sights. Maybe a buffer tube adapter that lets you use any milspec AR stock

I’ve had my S2K for over a year. I carry it on my 4wheeler and it doesn’t take any room at all. A great and easy gun to shoot. This video was a nice comparison for both. Some people just like a single brand of gun. This video showed there is more than one chicken in the coop.😊

Couldn't you put a folding sight mount on the keltec so it can still fold with a sight on it?

Mention Eric you can run a optic on the sub-2000 and still folded up there's a company that makes them out for it and it's actually a really robust malament very nice that you can fold your optic over almost like what a magnifier mounting option

Glad I found this my friend wanted me to look at the smith before I bought the sub2k . I still am opting for the simplistic design of the Kel-Tec and they do come out with pretty cool designs gotta give respect when it’s due. When I heard they were giving them away to Ukraine I was a little disappointed and sent a email asking if they would send me a free one in which today is an unanswered email lol.

Actually the Gen 1 fold lock system is more robust than the gen2 and also the Gen 1 could be locked in the folded position with an included specialty key that came with the rifle.

they make an optic adapter that folds allowing the gun to fold and it is supposed to hold zero at the same time for the Sub-2000!

Nice non bias review. Very good explanations of both guns with pros and cons. I like both guns and like you, I think both have their place depending on what you're doing with them. Both make great truck guns. I am a smith and Wesson fan, however I do really like the keltec! I also believe that not every gun needs an optic to be an effective self defense or pinker. Everyone has different options and that's mine. Thanks again for the great comparison. Looking forward to more videos.
