The KelTec SUB2K 9mm carbine is engineered to provide a compact and highly portable firearm solution without compromising functional reliability. Chambered in 9mm Luger, this platform integrates a unique folding design with extensive magazine commonality, optimizing it for diverse operational requirements from discreet transport to immediate deployment.
Key Features
Integrated Folding Mechanism
The SUB2K’s core design incorporates a proprietary folding system that significantly reduces the carbine’s overall length by over 50%. This capability allows for exceptionally compact storage, enabling transport in standard backpacks or discreet vehicle stowage, thereby enhancing its logistical flexibility.
Ammunition & Magazine System
Chambered in 9mm Luger, the SUB2K leverages a widely available and economically viable ammunition cartridge. Critical to its utility is direct compatibility with full-size Glock pistol magazines. This feature simplifies ammunition management and logistics for users already operating Glock handgun platforms, ensuring commonality across primary and secondary firearms.
Robust Construction
Constructed with a durable polymer frame complemented by essential steel components, the SUB2K maintains a favorable strength-to-weight ratio. This material selection ensures the necessary structural integrity for consistent performance while retaining a lightweight profile suitable for extended carry and rapid maneuverability.
Operational Utility
Optimized Sight Radius
The carbine configuration inherently provides a substantially longer sight radius compared to a pistol. This extended sight plane directly contributes to enhanced practical accuracy and more precise target engagement at typical carbine distances, thereby improving user proficiency.
Deployment Versatility
Designed for practical application, the SUB2K functions effectively across various scenarios. Its compact form factor and reliable operation make it a viable option for home defense, an accessible personal defense tool for vehicle storage, or a convenient carbine for sustained target practice sessions.
