I have found the same thing. Gold Dots did not do so well and Berry’s plated just down right sucked.
When dealing with islam one should always ask themselves: "What would Leonidas do?"
if I got one it would be fed cast or go down the road.
Lloyd: I have a Gen I Kel-Tec S2K .40 Glock and it shoots Cast just fine. In fact it shoots anything just fine. These guns are not tack drivers, they were designed to be a lightweight Carbine that a LEO could carry in his car and share the mags his pistol used, and give better performance than a pistol. They are 100 yard guns at best, and really good 50 yard guns with any ammo you feed them. Mine likes the Lee 175 gr TC Boolit with Powder Coating, but also shoots plated boolits just fine as well as factory ammo. This is a gun you can carry in your car easily and mine lives in a small Backpack along with it's magazines.
My gun is a Gen 1 gun and I have installed the Kel-Tec Aluminum Fore End a Red Lion Front Sight One of my Slings and a Bushnell TRS 25 Red Dot Sight on an angled mount so the gun will still fold.
The Gen II guns are very popular and pretty easy to find at about $400 new. Most guys don't mod the Gen II guns as much as the Gen I guns were modded. If you go over to the KTOG site there is a lot of info to be had on setting one up and minor problems that have arisen in the past.

I'm not looking for 300 yard prairie dog accuracy. If it would shoot a 3 inch 50 yard group and stay in say 8 inch or the vitals of something the size of a deer at a 100 that would be plenty accurate for me.
If it won’t do that pass it off on someone else cause it’s junk.
I have been totally blown away by the inherent accuracy of the humble little 9x19.
I take it pretty far and I know some people think it’s lunacy ....but I’m having fun and the results speak for themselves.
I only use Win brass and after it’s deprimed and cleaned I weigh them. 58.0g +/- .5 grains. Anything outside that gets used for pistol and general blasting ammo. I trim, uniform the primer pocket and deburr the inside flash hole.
A lot of work BUT one of my best loads has a standard deviation of less than 8. Seven point something I don’t recall. That’s awfully consistent and it’s very accurate if/when I can keep the nut behind the trigger properly tightened.
My biggest failure to date has been with subsonic loads. For whatever reason I can’t find a combo that will do better than around 2 inches at 50 yards (for ten shots). It’s just another riddle I have yet to solve.

I am taking my 40 Sub2K out next range trip. I will shoot at 50 yds off bench and bags to see what it will do. Load is 175gr. Lee unsized Aloxed over 5gr. Unique.
You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.
That is a GOOD bullet. I ain't never owned a .40 but I have loaded a TON of it for my buddy and all his do very well with it.

I had a sub2k in 40. I bought it new 8 years back or so. It consistently failed to eject the last round, and sometimes the second to last round. Mags were factory mags with good springs. I dont remember what ammo, but probably federal or winchester factory. I opened the ejection port some with my dremel tool, and it did better. I reshaped the ejector some, and it did some better. I got tired of messing with it, and sold it to the gunsmith. I didnt like that the grip didnt have a screw or something holding the front together. Always felt like it was spreading some with a mag inserted. I didnt shoot it for accuracy, just plinked with it a few weeks. It was fun. I took it apart to fiddle with it. The feed ramp was plastic/nylon/whatever. I knocked the sharp edges off the charging handle slot as it sliced me wide open.
Shot the KelTec at 50 yds. Just resting off the railing. It did fine. I went through 3 30 round stick mags and 2 15 rd factory pistol mags. It held a pretty decent grouping for the sake of shooting at an area on the paper.

Good evening
We have two. Bought the first 40 (Glock) 5 years back. Bought the second in 2016 (40 Glock) so wife & I have our own that go wherever we go together or individually. Carry mine in a computer case on the two wheeler also. Each have a one point carry on them.
Two 30 round and one 13 round Glock mags with each. We load a 200 grain FNPB that are tennis ball accurate at 50 yards. Our Model 22's shoot the same load nicely.
Having put well over 500 rounds through mine I think they will be with us a very long time. Wish we could have at least one down here.

Glad to hear they can take some use. Gotta ask, whatcha doing down in Peru? Are they one of those countries that do not allow citizens to carry rounds bigger than the military?
I like the concept of the Sub 2000 but can't get past the chintzy screwed together appearance and thin plastic clamshell receiver. I don't doubt that it functions well, but it's just not for me. The new Ruger is much more to my liking.
Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
I guess I kind of shelved the kel-tec idea now that ruger is making there carbine. I might just wait till when or if they come out with a 40. As a matter of fact I might just get a 9 while I wait.
Keltec sub 2000 are nice. Different mags and folding is a huge selling point.
something new and kind of cool https://conversion-kit-shop.com/conversion-pistol-kit
