The safety is a simple push-bolt button located behind and above the trigger on the grip assembly. I found this to be reminiscent of the mechanism on the forearm of an MP5. Dropping the bolt requires a quick slap of the hand, sending it forward and chambering a round. The operating handle protrudes through the bottom of the tube, and features a slot that allows you to lock the bolt in the open position. It is a straight-blowback design, which furthers the theme of simplicity. The stock is mounted to a tube in which the bolt reciprocates. The simplicity that I spoke of earlier in the platform becomes evident when you look at the operation of the gun. However, I’m willing to go shopping immediately to find this new accessory. I will confess, I’m a little baffled as to what I would want to add to the bottom of the stock. There is also a small Picatinny rail on the bottom of the stock. The stock also has a single-point loop attachment built in and a standard 1.25-inch-wide slot that will accept a standard nylon sling. This provides 1.25 inches of adjustment to the shooter. The stock can be adjusted by removing a pin and moving the stock to one of the three positions available, then reinserting the pin. The fore-end has five additional mounting slots per side that accept M-LOK accessories, which is really going above and beyond.Ī clip on the top of the buttstock locks the carbine in the folded position.
The single biggest request from customers was answered by the second generation (Gen II) version of this firearm, with the addition of two integrated Picatinny rails as standard fare. The majority of the rifle is made from an impact modified glass reinforced Zytel. By simply pulling on the trigger guard, one can pivot the barrel upwards 180 degrees, fold the firearm in half and reduce the overall length to 16.25 inches for storage and transport. The innovation certainly does not end there. This serves not only to provide a commonality of reloads if necessary, but to further reduce the overall cost of owning and operating the platform. The idea was that you could buy a pistol-caliber carbine that took the same ammunition and magazine as your handgun. 40 S&W, and they would be making several variations to accept magazines from Glock, Smith & Wesson and Sig Sauer. They would be offering the rifle chambered in 9mm or. I was really intrigued by what the reps told me about the gun. I got my first brief look at the new SUB-2000 when I was at Shot Show this year. The heart of the SUB-2000 is its simple, straight-blowback system of operation. Kel-Tec has responded to these growing pains by adding on to their facilities in Cocoa, Florida at an unprecedented rate. This formula has, at times, caused demand to outstrip manufacturing capacity. However simple this formula is, it is not easy to execute on by any stretch of the imagination. Kel-Tec manufactures uniquely designed guns that are reliable and carry a lifetime warranty. They have achieved phenomenal success with a relatively simple formula. I was looking through the latest gun manufacturer data available from the ATF and was surprised to learn that Kel-Tec is one of the top five pistol makers in the United States. Capacity: 17+1 (Glock magazine, as tested).Action: Blowback-operated, semi-automatic.Sights: Windage and elevation adjustable post front aperture rear.OA Length: 30.5 inches 16.5 inches (folded).With a simple press of a button, the SUB-2000 can be folded into a short 16.25-inch package.
