Kel-Tec sub2000 uses S&W 59 series magazines

I have one for G17 Glock mags. Observations:


1. It's cheap, light and small. I bought it for a car gun-- better it get stolen than my LE6920.

2. These things are dead reliable, if you use the right ammo. 147 grain flat point feeds poorly, and doesn't reliably cycle the gun. Winchester NATO Q4318 works excellently. Winchester and Federal 124 grain range fodder works, too. I haven't tried hollow points.

3. The factory sights are too low to the bore and are hard to use. They should have fixed this. I threw on a Romeo 5 which works well, but now I can't fold it. There's a gadget to let you fold the optic out of the way, but it is $$$.

4. Glock factory 33 round mags work 100%. I can't speak for any others. There is no provision for bolt hold open on an empty mag.

5. The gun is very simple inside. It looks like something built for the third world. You will need a 3/4 " hardwood dowel to ease reassembly. Keep it well-lubed with CLP or similar.

6. In addition to adding an optic, a Magpul forend angled grip is quite helpful. They should include one with the gun, it works so well.

7. The barrel is threaded. I threw on a A2 flash suppressor (9mm version!) but this is probably not needed.
 
I really like my Gen 2 set up for S&W M&P mags. Fun shooter. I keep it locked in a wall mount in the closet. Try a 45 degree angle mount for your red dot. Much cheaper than the one that rotates out of the way. It allows the rifle to be folded and locked. I also cut a U-notch in the top of the rear sight and raised the front accordingly. Better height than the factory peep. See second picture.
