On a whim I bought a new gun yesterday. I was done buying any guns for the indefinite future, but I saw this one and it looked like a fun little rifle, and as I'd worked enough OT recently to buy several of them I figured it wasn't a bad thing to spend a little.
It's a Kel-Tec Sub 2000 in .40 S&W, uses Glock magazines. I just took it to the range and I am very much unimpressed. I should have listened to the little voice in my head that was telling me it looked like a plastic piece of junk. I'm hoping it's not that bad and the issues I'm having can be fixed.
It went through 50 rounds just fine, no malfunctions (with Glock factory mags). The first issue was sighting in. I sure don't like the sight adjustment, and I had to put the front post almost completely to one side to get it shooting straight. This is not acceptable. It really messes with the sight picture. It looks like the front sight base is removable so maybe it's just canted.
Accuracy was so-so at 25 yards, 2-3" but maybe part of that is caused by the next problem: the gouge it makes into each round as it chambers them. Several times when adjusting the sight I extracted a live round from the chamber. Each one had a big gouge in the brass about 1/8" below the mouth, deep enough that it clearly dented the bullet. The chamber edge is clean, but maybe could use a slightly more rounded radius. Perhaps a tight/rough extractor could be a contributing factor. The trigger is terrible too. It's more like a rusty lever on a piece of farm equipment than a trigger.
Anyone experience any of these issues with one of these? On the plus side it had no malfunctions, and my wife was able to easily shoot clay targets against the berm at 25 yards. She's NOT a good shot, doesn't particularly like to shoot at all.
If I can get these two major issues figured out I think we'll be happy with it, for what it is: a fun little plinker carbine that fold up into a very compact package.
