Traded my Sub2K Sig 226 version for the Glock version tonight, can't wait to get some lead down range. I kinda like how the hard chrome looks versus the blued too. Now I'm paired up well with my Glock pistol.

Ran 100 rounds of Federal through it today with only a light oiling. Definitely needs to be broken down and lubed thoroughly for next time, I was getting stovepipes on every last round in the mag. Seems these need to be broken down completely and wiped out and relubed. Was very accurate at 25rds though.

I have the exact same one and I am still in the "break in" period. All my stovepipes were happening on every last round in the mag. I only have 320 rounds through and I've been getting less and less. I have read on the KelTec forums that this is very common.

Yep saw the same thing. I was shooting this and my 10/22 TD today, can't believe how light the little Keltec is. Got some funny looks when I folded it up and it disappeared into my backpack.

I think they're ugly and I'm not usally fond of pistol caliber rifles...but the more I think about it the more I want one. How much do they usually run?

infrequently a dealer has one, so gunbroker is a place to check. $600+

An honest dealer will sell it anywhere between $300-$370....I know of 2 IP's that don't try to take advantage of the rarity of this gun.

It is common, The advice I got and it work was to run 124 or 145 grain for the first few 100 rounds to break in the recoil spring.

Mine runs great now.

I can honestly say that I got mine within that price range...brand new, 3 months ago

I heard the same advice...unfortunately, I have a pretty large stock of 115gr range ammo, that is the only reason I have been using it.

Did a full disassembly tonight, the bolt tube issue I had read about on the KelTec forums seems to be accurate. The interior of the tube was coated in a sticky preservative (some type of oil I assume) that seemed to slightly impede bolt travel as were the trigger and hammer linkage. Cycles much smoother now and trigger is much improved.

I have to say my sub-2000 has been one of my most trouble free guns. it has never ftf, fte, or stove piped, no matter what i fed it.

the only thing i want to do is change the mag catch from s&w to Berretta.

Have you seen the version with Desert Tan furniture? Looks awesome. Not sure if it's a factory piece or aftermarket treatment but it looks cool!
