Very Good Price on Sub2k

Jimbob2.0 · Nov 8, 2013

If you are ok with glock mags and .40 S&W this is a steal.

Unfortunately for me its the only one that cannot be converted by replacing the mag catch. I really need a Sig (or S&W/Beretta and convert).

I have both 9mm and 40s&w sub2k's and paid almost double that for each. Jump on that! Sweet firearms to own.

Ya, I have a 9 Glock love the little gun.

Im going to hang out and hope for one I can convert since I dont have a .40 glock and dont want to start collecting mags for another platform, but thought it was worth posting for anyone hunting for one.

Can we still buy these in our communist state? That is a very tempting price.

I think they are 29" and GTG

That is correct! Cash and carry.

I think I measured mine and they are short unless you add the cheesy butt pad. However, you'll want to remove that silly front sight anyway so I suggest you pick a flash hider that you like and solder it on to add length.

The one in the OP lists a 15rd mag. Just FYI

tomandjerry00 · Nov 8, 2013

Official length comes in as 29.5"

That's the gun I'm sneaking into the FEMA camp when they take me.

I have to add that my sub2000 is a lot more comfortable to shoot after adding the cheesy butt pad.

A few more inches made all the difference. [ insert "thats what she said" joke here ]

Very tempting.

Shoots great. Has stout recoil for what it is.

I have a 9mm version. Has nearly no recoil for what it is. Not quite 22 rifle level but thats the only thing I've ever shot that was less.

Sold out....KYGCO gets some good prices but they are usually gone once they hit slickguns.

Y'all know that's list price, right?

Kel-tec's list price is like asking $600 for gold.............the days of $299 ($409 MSRP) Sub2k's are gone and likely not coming back soon. They have been $450 to $500 for years (and even more during the Zippy saga of this year).

Frankly, Kel-tec has really messed up on business model. They make very low-cost products that they could turn-out in mass. While I dont know what their investment in production capacity has been, it obviously has not been enough to meet demand or they wouldnt be continually changing their MSRP.

Remember when KSG's were supposed to be $800 but now MSRP is around $990 with sales consistently around $1000 to $1100.

When people want a product, MSRP is meaningless.

Not to make light of your situation, but the whole reason the Sub2K's are so popular is they're inexpensive, reliable little rifles which are still legal in places where something like that usually isn't. They make so little product they fly under the radar of the morons in a lot of state legislatures. When was the last time you heard about any rifle by Keltec in the news?

BTW, firearms are not Keltec's main source of income, which is why they don't make as much product as other companies.

$399 was a great price.

Kel Tec's business model is fine. You need to understand the economics behind capital intensive manufacturing.

Saying "Just make more and people will buy more", only looks good on the back of a napkin.

I just took my little Sub 2K out the other day. Except for the burns on my arm and face, it was great to shoot again! I wish someone would make a little deflector for that thing so us lefties can REALLY enjoy it.
