    I must be the lucky one I call mine the hog for a reason, whenever I'm cleaning my gun room and find misc loaded 9mms rounds I put them in a 30 cal can and at the end of the year I take my gen 2 sub2000 and shoot them all. I have never once had a failure in I bet, 10,000rounds I keep mine in my car with a bunch of Glock 33 round mags loaded with the Lee 358-125 FN book it with a +p charge and I keep a 33 rounder loaded with Speer 147 jhp

    I would NEVER even think about selling mine!!

Keltec sent me a new complete top end no charge. A few hundred rounds later the trigger broke and I sent the gun back to KT and they repaired it no charge and returned it to me. I don't know where you could get better service than that! BTW the gun is my regular carry gun, still functional today.
    As a general rule, prefer guns that don't exhibit catastrophic failures early in their service life.

    I just bought a 40S&W Sub 2000. It had feed issues to. There really isnt a feed ramp in these things, it just has a bevel, the edge was a bit sharp on mine. I filed and polished a bit more of a ramp, not enough where the case is unsupported, didnt take much. Mine works with 9mm mags now.

    Get a hi point and you won't have that problem I haven't shot cast in it yet but it feeds aluminum steel brass anything I feed it but I do want a kel tec in 9

    They will fix the gun all you have to do is get them to send you a return slip.

    My .40 Glock has never malfunctioned, and I'm sure whatever is wrong with yours is minor.

    And I'm sure they are like lee they make you pay the postage on something that's there fault and should of been right from the factory

    Agree about the Hipoint, I have one in .40sw and I have shot nothing but cast through it. .401 175 gr truncated cone, shoots like gangbusters. I have yet to have a FTF or FTE.

    Granted the fold feature is interesting, but the hipoint is dead simple with hardly anything to go wrong.
