Lastly, those that wanted to suppress the SUB-2000 (often sharing a suppressor already purchased for a handgun) were pretty much out of luck-while it was theoretically possible to get the barrel threaded, it was an exercise in how persistent one could be in finding the right gunsmith. The carbine folds in an odd manner, using the trigger guard as the release lever, much like a Russian Makarov is taken down for cleaning. Other factors brought up included the inability to add optics, lights or accessories, an area quickly filled in by the aftermarket. Redesigned in this iteration is the release lever that unlocks the carbine, making it faster to deploy from its folded state. Deploying the carbine from the folded position required precise activation of a small release button, which is easy on the range but not so easy under stress. The length-of-pull was fixed, although in a carbine that size there’s not much room for change. The sights were rudimentary, at best-the front sight was essentially colored, translucent plastic.
The SUB-2000 was not without its detractors, though.
When you’ve already got a dozen or more magazines for your handgun, being able to use them in a carbine as well is an unexpected bonus. This allows a carbine and pistol combination sharing not only fodder but magazines as well. 40 S&W-the Glock G17, G19, G22 and G23 SIG Sauer’s P226, the Smith & Wesson M&P and the Beretta 92 and 96. It can be ordered to share magazine compatibility with a number of common handguns chambered in 9 mm or. When folded, the carbine fits into a messenger bag or briefcase-as long as no optics grace the top rail.įans of pistol-caliber carbines found a lot to like with the folding Kel-Tec SUB-2000.
