    Anybody have experience with the reliability of the Keltec Sub-2000 .40 cal using the Beretta 96 magazines? Do they feed well? Is it picky with ammo? Any and all comments welcome.
    I have one that uses the Beretta mags. I've had it for over 4 years and have dumped several hundred rounds through it. It shoots everything from dirty Wolf steel-cased ammo to top end stuff without prejudice. Simple, reliable gun.

    Sub 2000 40 cal. with Glock Mags.

    I have located one in Pa. and from what is posted here it appears that they are legal to possess in the state of Maryland. I was wondering if anyone out there has seen that in writing on a Maryland approved site, if so can I get the link.

    What the seller in Pa. told me is that it would be an over the counter sale because it is considered a rifle there.

    After purchasing this, would there be anything else I need to do to bring it into the FreeState.

    Thank You Kindly,

    Do you use the Beretta 96 magazines?

    I'll try this again: For any of you that use the Beretta 96 platform for the Keltec Sub-2000 .40 caliber, which magazines perform best? The factory Beretta ones? Maggar's? etc.
    Also, after naming which is best, how many round magazines do you use? 10 rnd.? 15rnd?

    I'm trying to get an answer from someone who actually has one of these and has gained experience from using it.

    Thanks in advance!

    I have the Keltec that uses Beretta mags. The factory mags are the ONLY ones that work properly. I've tried off brands with no success. All the mags I have are 12 rounds.

    Thanks for an answer to my question. Do you have the .40 or 9mm? .40 takes Beretta 96 mags and 9mm takes Beretta 92.

    On the Beretta website, it says the factory 96 mags take 11 rounds. Maybe you're using the 92's?

    Sorry was working from memory and haven't shot it in a while. Turns out I have only one factory mag. The rest are Maggar 12 rounds. That was the only one other than the factory mag I could get to work. Had originally wanted them for Glock mags but the order took forever and that one was on the shelf C&C. 40 S&W 12 Rnd mags.

    Mag model Number is MG-B96-12 .40S&W

    Information and picture very helpful. Appreciated!

    I see on the Meggar mag website that they carry a 10 rd. (new std); a 13 rd. (High Cap. flush fit); and a 15 rd. High Cap. Ext.). Don't see a 12 rd. listed now. Prices go from $30.45 to $45.55.

    Thanks.

    bear in mind that Mec-Gar makes a lot of OEM magazines for companies like Beretta, so there may be no real difference between your magazines.

    Not sure on that one OnTarget. I can tell you there is a good bit of play in the magwell. The body of the mag moves around and doesn't really secure until its driven home and engages. I would think there would be enough tolerance to accommodate that finish but can't say with certainty. Good luck.

    I thought the CX4 was banned after October 1st. That's why I was soo keen on getting one. My girlfriend has since adopted it and I'm building it to her specs.
