Got one

Post by madman4570 »

Got a call this afternoon from the co-owner(buddies wife)at the local gun shop.
Said---there is a fellow(they know well)who is standing here that wants to sell his Kel-Tec Sub 2000 .40S&W(one that takes the Glock mags) and its in excellent condition.(she said I know you have a new one ordered)but this comes with 5 Mags/original box paperwork/key etc.He wants $290?

I said----Done(heard them laughing)she said wow that was quick.Said I will be right down.
Only kind of bummer the other 4 mags were 15rds(post bans)he lived in Pa. So I could only get the original 10rd Glock mag that came with gun(he lowered price to $260 though.

So,if any of you guys know where I can get a higher capacity Glock (Pre-ban)mag for this .40 S&W Sub 2000 let me known please.
Kinda bummed about the extra 4 mags but it aint worth chancing it.(for all parties concerned)

She did say--------yes you can use (Pre-ban)High capacity mags in this gun!
See ya!

P.S.-----going right now to take the new member of the family(the gun) and introduce her to all her cousins! :lol:

Two things

First thing:

for the mags, go here:

http://www.aimsurplus.com/catalog.aspx?groupid=16

I've dealt with AIM a lot and never had a problem. Right now the mags are showing out of stock, but these folks change inventory on a regular basis.

Second thing:

The 15 rounders are *standard capacity* mags, not high caps. The 10 rounds ones are *reduced capacity* magazines.

Do not give in to or talk like the anti-gunners. Words have meaning and I'll use them against the ignorant better than they can.

They have all kinds of mags and frequently run specials. I have dealt with them several times over the years and never had a problem.

No problem, and I'm sorry to say I had forgotten about CDNN. I've used AIM Surplus a lot lately.

And I'm not jumping on your personally about the high cap/standard cap thing, but it's just an issue that's a thorn in my paw when I hear it. The anti-gunners try to paint negative word pictures on us all the time. I see no reason to help them out.

ya, I will have to snap a few! (terrible with pics) :oops: (got a new lap top/has different pic setup software deal ? have not tried it yet)
It's home(already had it when I posted this yesterday) :D
I am going to shoot it in about 30 minutes with some Federal 180gr Hi-Shok ammo

I see on some of the sites probably could have got a new one for $290(no tax)free ship but still would have to pay $25 FFL transfer fee(which is fine)but many were sold out and I just was impatient and wanted one ASAP! Thought $260 for a decent little gun heck with waiting.(might still get the new one for a Christmas gift for someone)
They are still holding the next new one(she said soon to come)for me if wanted!

Ok,
Shot 3------5 shot groups off the bench at 50 yards.(Only had 180gr Federal Hi-Shok Ammo)
Groups as follows:

1st-------1.3"
2nd-------1.7"
3rd-------1.6"

Actually not too bad for a short barreled carbine that fits in a lap top suit case!

Yesterday when I got it one of the customers said----------watch it, those .40S&W's really kick. :lol: :roll:
I said "OK,but having a 14oz Kel-Tec P40 handgun in .40S&W and shooting it one handed and it not kicking hardly at all "(it can't be too bad :?: )"But thanks for the warning"

This gun weighs 4lbs???????????? (No kick to speak of)even the wife said--------no kick!

Really! I'm glad I didn't know that before shooting any of my big bore guns or I'd of broken my arm. Now that I know I'll be real careful. :D

Went and got 3 boxes of the Hornady TAP ammo today.(155gr XTD .40 S&W ) not cheap($1)a piece. ($60 for qty 60)
But,that's what I will use in this!

Used my 100 yard range and shot some groups.(Actually this gun for what it is,shoots extremely well)
Averaged overall of all combined groupings-------3.25" at 100yds

Boy those 155's really zing. (right around 1400fps)

I am looking into changing the front sight with an all aluminum AR15 type sight and also mount a small green laser.
Might also switch the forearm to the smaller/lighter one? and install the quick on/off Zytel 1" stock extension.


Its funny, back in the early 90's when everyone used to pick on my brother/myself (at the M1 comp shoots)us using our Colt AR15 Match HBARs---(till we started beating them :lol: )------they called those AR's --(black toys) and even after beating them and others bought any(black toys)

But this here gun really looks like a black toy,it's a hoot.(I love it)Also bought a Dell 15" laptop case at Staples.Fits perfect.
Now for some 30rd preban mags?
What a fun gun!

when I was looking for a Sub-2000 I went with the 9mm because the factory made a 33 rounder for it. There is nothing for the .40 like that from anybody you'd want to use, at least not back then. And I needed a 9mm and already had .40's, that also helped.

Re: Got one(UPDATE)bought the other NEW one!

Post by madman4570 »

I see that there are so many things you can do to these guns,its unreal!
Was reading that (in the .40S&W)they are approaching the velocity of 1700fps with Corbon's 135gr JHP in that gun :o
That and being also in a .40cal it has gotta be one heck of a man-stopper?

The price I paid(just the fold-factor and fitting into a tiny 15" laptop case(even with mag inserted)is worth that.
I think I might pour some more considerable $'s with tricking out the little guy!

Cool factor-----------------High

I did call Kel-Tec today and talked to them about what I want to do with the gun(and me being 2nd owner)and my manual only saying lifetime warranty is for original owner.

Told me -----don't worry about it,we will take care of your needs.(very impressed) :mrgreen:
Was told------main thing,enjoy your gun and shoot it!
