Say Goodbye to the braces BS and say Hello to PFC's
- Faster velocity than the pistol, with 115 & 124 gr's it's about 200+ fps out of the 16" barrel.
- 147 gr bullets are still subsonic if you want to suppress it though.
- Easier to manage hitting a moving target at longer distances.
- Easier to pack.
- Magazine compatibility.
- Only 5lbs 1 oz.
I used to own the sub2000 in 9 & 40, but the crappy sights with not option to have a red dot on the top rail killed it for me. There are options to customize those but I gave up on trying when I totaled the cost to fix it the way I wanted.
I wouldn't mind carrying this in my daily backpack, light enough to walk home with & it would match my backup pistol. Also cheaper to buy this than trying to build an AR that can fold for the same price, so the practicality of the FPC is what makes it appealing for me.
But if I'm going long distance from home, I would leave it at home and take my AR.
Still prefer my Glock 17 with brace. Same ballistics (9mm doesn’t gain much in a longer barrel) and fits in a glove box.
Keep going back and forth between the Smith and Keltec. Have a love/hate relationship with the keltec. I think the Smith internals may be a lot better but need to wait and see what real world reviews are since this is brand new. I wonder if keltec is offering the rebate to take sales away from Smith or Keltec is getting ready for a third generation and clearing out old stock
I'm sure after awhile the S&W will offer a rebate as well, just have to hold out for a little longer after the market for it settles down.
Meh, I’ll stick with my old Gen1 Kel-Tec.
