The Kel-Tec SUB-2000 Gen 2 transforms from a compact folded package into a full-length carbine in seconds, delivering rifle accuracy with pistol ammunition. This 9mm carbine accepts Glock magazines directly, eliminating the need for proprietary feeding systems while maintaining the reliability shooters expect from proven magazine designs.
What Makes This Different
The SUB-2000's patented folding mechanism reduces overall length to just 16 inches when folded, making it one of the most compact long guns available for storage and transport. Unlike traditional carbines that require dedicated magazine wells, this design accommodates standard Glock 17/19/22/23 magazines without modification. The rifle unfolds and locks securely in under three seconds, providing immediate access to a stable shooting platform with a 16.25-inch barrel.
Key Features
- Folds to 16" overall length for compact storage and transport
- 16.25" barrel with 1:10 twist rate optimized for 9mm ammunition
- Direct compatibility with Glock 17/19/22/23 magazines
- Adjustable front and rear sights with Picatinny rail integration
- Threaded muzzle (1/2x28 TPI) ready for suppressor attachment
- Polymer construction keeps unloaded weight under 4 pounds
- Ambidextrous operating handle for left and right-handed shooters
The 16.25-inch barrel generates significantly higher velocities than pistol-length barrels, extending effective range and improving terminal performance of 9mm ammunition. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the weapon's ability to share magazines with duty pistols, while civilian shooters benefit from the cost savings of using existing Glock magazines. The carbine maintains sub-3 MOA accuracy at 100 yards with quality ammunition, making it suitable for precision applications beyond typical pistol caliber carbine ranges.
