My local fun dealer got a gen 2 in yesterday. I have had a standing order in with him since Shot Show, it is now in my possession! Major upgrade over the gen 1 I sold during the panic prices, and have missed ever since.

Another item of note, the receiver tube IS the receiver as it has the serial number. Even on the parts diagram it is listed as "Receiver (Exchange Only)"

Little late to this thread but I have a question:
How well do these little guns shoot? Thinking of getting one for a truck/ATV/tractor/plane/whatever gun. Looking for how well do they group at say 50 yards? Thanks |

Trigger isn't as good as my massaged Glock 23, and it's very picky about ammo. Should send it back to KelTec & get the feed ramp worked on. |

Saw the Gen 2 today and had to look at it as I never even new this existed.
 The new lgs in my AO had five of them in stock. Being as I have a G17 and plenty of mags, it was tempting. At $499, are they asking too much?

As another Gen 2 9mm owner (I got 2 of 'em
 ) I'll kick in..... they, IMO, are great little guns. I range tested mine with about a dozen different kinds of ammo- mostly 147's, but also 115 & 124's- and it fed and cycled them all 100%. Open sight groups off a sandbag were......get ready for a highly technical term here... "minute of snuff can" at 30 yards without even trying too hard. Both of mine are the G17 models, which I like much better than the G19 series due to the slightly longer grip. Super easy to strip and clean as well. The only downside I can think of is... you need to angle mount an optic if you want to retain the ability to fold the gun in half...otherwise it will scissor shut on the scope/red dot/etc.

I think it will do better when I'm not rushed. |

I also hope you got one at that proce!! The Glock magazine models, especially the 9mm ones, first for G19 mags and then for G17 mags are most in demand and therefore the hardest to find, at that price a VERY good deal....<><....:)

That's great, no LGS in my area has had a 9mm Glock model in stock for much more than an hour over the last few months. I waited for a while for mine that I bought through the LEO program and the company was great about not forgetting about me when mine finally came up....<><....:)

I picked up a G 19 version yesterday
The grip is too short for my hands, so I'll swap it out for a G 17 grip. I'll also upgrade the trigger & springs while I have it apart.

440 yards with a 9mm KT Sub-2K

That is exactly what I bought
my Gen 1, .40 for. I added a PA micro dot with the offset mount to the right side. 40 yard head shots are almost effortless. My first Glock, Model 22 quickly followed. I added a Maxpedition Spatha, that completes a great travel gun package. Interchangeable magazines with the Glocks make this a no brainer for me. Add in a couple of 22 round or 33 round mags for the win. I am on a short list at my LGS for a Gen II, 9mm to go with my Glock 17. John Quote HistoryQuoted:

What started out as a G19/23 Sub-2000 this morning is now a G17/22 with a Heavy Weight Bolt from Kel-Tec #SUB-2000-552, the hammer, sear & return spring kit from M-CARBO, and the aluminum replacement trigger & aluminum combat peep sight with folding lever from Performance Service.
I was able run two 'happy sticks' worth of 9mm through my Gen II this evening. One stick was filled with 115 gr. Winchester White Box, the other was filled with 124 gr. American Eagle. I am happy to report nothing but good news, NO failures, NO problems, NO issues, just flawless fun. Iron sights, rapid fire double taps into a fist sized cluster @ 25 yards Now to get that AAC Ti-RANT .45 I've had my eye on... |

I found a green Gen 2, Glock 17
mag grip version today at the show. I paid $500 for it, but I thought it would be a while before I found another one, and I really liked the OD. I mounted a PA micro dot on my Gen 1, .40, with the tri-rail & 45 degree offset mount. It works like a champ. I need to compare them, to see if there is enough room to do the same on the Gen 2, but it seems like there won't be much holding the front of the forearm on, with the amount of material that needs to be removed. Let me know if anyone else has done this on a Gen 2. Edit to add! Duh! H20 Man has it in spades. I like it. Simple & effective. I wouldn't normally be interested in mounting an optic to a plastic hand guard, but these seem really solid, and a little movement in it, will hopefully still keep the optic sight in point, with in a reasonable accuracy level for this firearm. Later! John |

I ordered 2 sub2000's (glock .40 & 9mm) on Sunday through the LEO direct program via email. Unfortunately Sunday was the last day of the direct buy program, they are going to a distributor system for LEO buys. Anyway, got an email the next day that the 9mm one was ready, so will be here by Monday I hope. The LEO price was pretty good to boot, glad I didn't have to wait 8 months like I did for my Glock 35 MOS.
I'm the head FI for a large gov't agency and work very closely with some local agencies with training and weapons development. Many of these guys are entry level officers and don't get paid a whole lot and are not supplied long arms. Most are supplied Glock handguns and of course ammo for them. I believe the sub2000 might be one of the best deals out there for these guys. They can get the LEO priced subs for less than half of what the AR's are going for, and then they don't need to buy magazines or ammunition which is realistically another 50% of the price of the weapon. On top of that, these guys don't have racks for their weapons in their vehicles so having the ability to fold it, is a real plus for these guys. I'm presenting a carbine course for some of these guys and will use both the M-4's and Subs so some of these officers can get hands on experience and see how much more effective they are with a carbine over a pistol. I personally will stick with my M-4 for service use, but for some who don't feel they have the means to get an AR or M-4 , this will be a very attractive option. In this day in age we should all have a carbine to lay down accurate fire. |

The gen2 has a metal sight base that uses an AR front post so you can use all the aftermarket AR front sight posts like tritium ect... the muzzle also comes threaded now.

Another good upgrade for me was
adding the spring kit & alum trigger from MCARBO. Trigger pull is much improved & I was having trigger reset issues prior to the upgrade in my Gen 2. Now it runs 100%. And Chris is a great guy, too. Later! John |

My sub2000 functions perfectly and has a very good trigger the only things ive done is install a vortex venom i had laying around and a spare flashlight. It wont get anymore add ons as it is perfect as is. Super reliable even with russian steel cased ammo right out of the box. |
