I've kind of wanted one of these off and on for a while but never had the patience to wait out keltec's production issues. With the forced retirement of the World's Best Gun Salesman, Sub2ks have finally come back into semi-kind-of-regular stock; to the point where even the Sportsman's Warehouse down here on the southwest side of Phoenix had one on display with a CMR30. Forties have always seemed to be in greater supply, but I've always been after the glock nine variant. Turns out, Classic Firearms unexpectedly delivered.
Not only were they stocking the glock 17 version at a reasonable price, they were stocking the much rarer navy blue version. I missed there first run, which seemed to only last an hour before selling out according to the time stamp on my email. I didn't expect another run, but my alert dropped a week later and I threw my cash at them. Honestly, I should have bought two. Having handled and shot one off before, I kind of knew how I wanted to build it and began to purchase peripherals. I recycled the MFT foregrip and torch from my old AR, likewise the single point sling. Two 32 round funsticks were almost mandatory. Lastly, a comp was purchased to tame the nine's wild recoil.
Just kidding, but the Sub's blowback design chunks a lot of mass back into the shoulder. Combined with the light weight, it throws the gun around a bit more than expected. The trigger is about five pounds in dry fire. It's not spectacular, but not horrible either. The weapon feels fairly solid for plastic, but I wouldn't be eager to put any undue stress on the plastic. I'm still looking for a red dot solution that won't interfere with the folding design,but haven't found anything besides either a QD mount or Midwest industries $99 solution. There's got to be something better than either.
In any case, there's fun to be had in the near future. I'll be back with a range report
