Lakota68: Kel Tec Sub 2000 wait time
http://forums.gunbroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7422
Lakota, I notice that you appended your question onto the end of an 8 year old thread! That's not a good way to draw responses, since the forum moderators will automatically "lock" the threads after ten responses, figuring that any asked question ought to be answered in that time.
Looking back at that thread, Kel Tec Sub 2000s have certainly gone up in price quite a bit since then, haven't they?
quote:Hi just ordered 2 Kel tec sub 2000 in 9mm not sure which one's I will get since the dealer told me they could come in either Glock or beretta versions,Payed $380 a piece for them but was wondering if anyone knew how long I might be waiting for these to come in?Dealer wont give me a acurate time ,probably so people dont call every other day asking if there Firearm is in yet.But seriously how long should something like this take?I am not much on waiting especially on My Guns,and probably buy somthing before it comes in!
To answer your question, if you already own a Beretta or Glock pistol, and you get the choice, get the model that takes the same magazines as your pistol so you can share mags between the carbine and pistol.
If you do NOT own either pistol, I'd strongly suggest the Glock magazine gun. The reason is that Glock magazines are a little cheaper and long 33 round "stick" magazines are much more readily available for the Glock (and they'd be appropriate for a carbine like this).
I've heard also, that its possible to switch or convert the two versions somehow, so if you're "stuck" with one you don't like, you may be able to get it to work the other way.
In terms of the second question, its quite difficult to know how long its going to take to get your gun, in part because Kel-Tec can be quite spotty in terms of production runs. My understanding is that it has limited production capacity, and the company will use it for other things in between gun runs. Your dealer likely doesn't know how long it will take, and that may be why they're not telling you!
I don't know how often Kel-Tec does a run of Sub-2000s, but these always seem to be scarce. You might literally have to wait six months or more for your gun.

After shooting one at the range,I needed one.
I waited at least six months on a list at a gun shop and finally called a 50 mile radius around my area.
Luckily, I found one at a dealer already packed to go to a gun show.
At dealer A, the price would be about $320 but dealer B had the goods and wouldn't move from the $400+tax he said he'd get at the Richmond show.
The gun had a rippled bore from a chattering rifling cutter and the firing pin struck way off center. However, It shot up a storm and I hated to send it back to Keltec but I did and got a perfect one back within a weeks total time.
As I have a G19 I wanted a G19 grip frame. Luckily, he only had a G17 Sub 2000.
It turned out the G17 grip is a perfect fit while the G19 is too short and uncomfortable. I bought some G17 Korean mags w/pouches plus some 30 rders on sale at CDNN and Cheaper Than Dirt. The G17 mags in the G19 are not at all a bad arrangement. I recommend the combination if you have a G19 and need to have a Sub 2000.
This toy is a real 9mm firehose and will take you broke if you don't handload.0
