The story of this carbine goes back to 1997, when Kel-Tec introduced the Sub-9 carbine. In general, it was a conventional blow-back gun with the magazine inserted through the hand grip. Designed during the high-capacity-magazine-ban years, it used popular and available pistol magazines, but the Sub-9's claim to fame was its unusual folding form.
When folding or collapsible stocks were not legal, the Sub-9 worked around that concept by creating a carbine that folded in half at the chamber, halving its overall length for storage and transport.
The folding is initiated by pulling down on the back of the trigger guard, which allows the front of the gun to swing up and back eventually locking the front sight into a recess on the butt-stock.
In 2001, the machined aluminum receiver was replaced with a plastic clamshell, resulting in a lighter and less expensive Sub-2000 model, and since it was made to fit several makes of pistol magazines, in 9mm Luger and .40S&W, this carbine became extremely popular.
Kel-Tec Sub-2000Mk2 (Mark 2). An upgraded version of the Sub-2000 but very similar mechanically and incorporates many improvements that were requested by users but often supplied by after-market accessory makers.Read the rest of Kel-Tec Sub 2000 upgrades.
I’m thinking if your beard gets caught in a gun action it’s time for a trim.
Does Oleg know you’re stealing his content?
That’s the new uniform. Gigantic beard, arms covered with tattoos, and a Grunt Style shirt two sizes too small.
Lol- I travel all over West Texas. Not bad areas, for the most part, but I like to be prepared.
I support having a carbine in a caliber worth fighting to....
Aw, golly, maybe I’ll just keep carrying my 556 pistol....then again, trench coat weather is about over....
Ain’t America great?
I agree, the one I had was a great little carbine, that was 100% trouble free - but then, I don't have a beard! Kind of funny, the shooting buddy who talked me out of it DOES have a beard (but he keeps it clipped short ;^)...
