I dont care how big the gun board is
I have driven to Kel Tec myself to have customers guns fixed/replaced. How many members of this great big gun board have stood in Kel Tec's receiving and seen the 100s of broken guns there? But if it makes you guys feel better to shoot the messenger go ahead, I can take it. |

The number of happy owners in this thread must be an anomaly, yeah? You're just trying to discredit KelTec because you don't like them. That's understandable. They do different things and that makes you uncomfortable. Unless you have factory numbers to back up your claims (which you don't) then you should stop spouting off such random nonsense. (By the way, your entire argument is flawed. You claim that folks who have personal anecdotal experience can't make claims about the reliability of Keltec Sub2000s yet turn around and in the same breath make personal anecdotal claims and expect us to believe them because *you've* seen it. You can't have it both ways - which is it?) |

That's a very good price. $329 is a more typical price I see, with reasonable shops being $300 even.
I enjoy mine. Easy to shoot even without hearing protection since the barrel is so much longer than a pistol barrel- makes it significantly quieter. |

I am sure after enough use, there will be issues. simply because the barrel is mounted in plastic. However for occasional plinking, and carriage for a self defense situation that is not sustained because LE is available, it fits a niche. If SHTF or TEOTWAWKI happens, I'm not grabbing my Sub-200 and nobody deploys with these things. But having it handy in your truck or computer case while taking the same ammo and mags as your everyday carry can come in handy in certain situations, as remote in possibility as they may be. |

These internet commandos are scathingly critical of anything that doesn't work and will start threads at the very first hint of a shitty product. There have been multiple threads on the Sub2000 and I've never heard any negative comments. I have a friend who works in the firearms industry who is privy to sensitive information. He once made a statement that prompted an argument that he couldn't finish because he couldn't disclose what would win the argument. So he had to just learn to STFU about it.

My best friend and his brother both have had the .40 glock mag versions for about 3years, my uncle has had the 9mm glock mag version for 10years. All have been pretty reliable the 9mm eats mostly gunshow reloads and the .40's use crappy aftermarket mags, they all keep on working.

Great price! I paid $299 a couple of years ago. Mine takes G22 mags, and I don't see myself letting it go for a long time. As a matter of fact, I traded for a G22 to put with it in a get-home-bag.
Work on the sear and hammer, and an aluminum trigger mfg. by a guy on KTOG, and it has a pretty light, crisp trigger. Re-assembly is a pain the first time, but becomes incredibly easy with practice. Is it a 600yd sniper? of course not. but, could I make a BG dump in his drawers across the living room? absolutely. I would trust this rifle, as I don't know how many rds i've put through it, and it has never had a hiccup. The only other gun of mine with that record is a CZ-P01, and to my knowledge KT doesn't make one that accepts CZ mags, or that'd be sweet. |

A glock 34 and sub 2000 (in glock flavor) some 33rd mags and 17 rds mags
in a bug out bag sounds like the perfect set up. sub 2K have a cult following. They are excellent rifles for the money. More fun than any other carbines out there for double the price. Shoot out the barrel.. so what ... Keltec will replace it under warranty. I wished the RFB or PMR 30 was perfected as such. |

All the bullshit above aside (and returning to the OP's original question), yes, the tube cover is a good idea in my book. Anything to make that little rifle more comfortable to shoot is a good idea. I don't love mine, but I do find it fits a purpose unlike anything else I have found.
And no, I haven't had any problems with mine although I don't really enjoy shooting it too much because of the sights. I would still never sell it. |

Quoted:
I have sold well over 100 of them both 9 and 40 both Glock and Beretta mag guns yet to have any major failures just normal minor stuff that happens with about any weapon you sell a fair volume of No really a kel Tec fan though Had a SU-16 blow the fuck up once and about 95% of P-32s we sold came back Thats odd with the P32. I have one and it works great. Only problem I ever recall having was with some wolf 70gr HP. Was soo weak it wouldn't cycle the action. Also have a sub 2k 9mm glock version with several hundred rounds through it. Had a few issues the first 200rds or so with some 124gr ammo but now it runs fine even with cheap Korean mags. |

That's just it, it makes no difference if you believe me, it happens. Test it out some tome. Believe with all your heart that you can fly them jump off something tall. If you can report back what happens. This will demonstrate the lack of linkage between what you believe and what is. A quick Google search on reviews from owners seems to indicate that you're the only one having any, much less this much, trouble with these guns. Weird, huh?
You give credence to what you see on the net (selectively) I don't have that problem. Riiiiight. Based on your posts in this thread I'd have to say that you're just another "internet expert" who got called out and came up lacking. Back under your bridge, TROLL.

If you can report back what happens. This will demonstrate the lack of linkage between what you believe and what is. Many rounds down the tube of mine with 0 issues. I follow these weapons on the net and I've never heard of the gun splitting into unless Bubba had messed with it. That said it does have one glaring wart....The FS unit. I will be the first to say the front sight unit sucks ass and that is why I replaced it with a AK FS. In fact when I was salvaging the parts the cheap-ass orange plastic blade had cracked and I had never touched it. I assume the mere act of shooting it caused the blade to crack. There is some folks that will never say anything bad about what they bought as they don't want to seem the rube and there are others like on the KTOG site that got all bent out of shape when I mentioned that the S2K's FS was a abomination and ruined a otherwise sound weapon and that Kel-Tec did their customers a disservice by going so cheap in a area that should be problem free. At the very least the FS blade should be replaced by making one of metal and the best solution IMHO is a High Point or AK FS unit replacement. After the FS replacement I could not be more pleased with the weapon. |

Very rarely sell a P32 nowadays with 3ATs available never seen it on the .380s so I am assuming they got whatever was wrong ironed out |
