Kel-Tek Sub 2000 Modifications.  

"They make it in two different flavors."😂

Now that's what I call a good upgrade, I like the paint job, that's a good looking Carbine 9mm!!!

Alright I want one now

Yeah its a great all around gun. If you put a light or foregrip on it (to balance the weight since it weighs only 4 lbs out the box) it actually handles pretty well.

Love this gun, got it in .40. Take it with me when I go hiking through the rockies. about 1500 rounds through it so far great pcc all around.

Watched this video back when you guy's released it in June and I just picked up one of these sub2000 for myself this week as its been in my mind and my local G.S. got one in. *thumbsup*

I like your accent! and you did a very good job explaining the different components for this firearm!

Glad to see an update and a variation on the setups

Thanks! Great information.

With that awkward charging handle a last round bolt hold open and bolt release would be a huge upgrade

I use the Midwest T1 mounts on my Sub2k's with Primary Arms classic series red dots. I wanted to use SIG Romeo5 because that's my optic of choice, but even with the lower profile without the picatinny low mount on the R5 I couldn't get one to have the red dot low enough at the ranges I wanted to zero because of the height of it. The PA Classic works great, and are about $50 less than an R5. Only real downside is that they don't have the shake-to-wake, which is one of the reasons I love R5's so much and own 9 of them for other rigs. I've also been coming up with a way to use cheap parts to have an on-gun extended magazine holder. Using two-hole rubber MLOK grip/covers I slide a velcro buckle tie-down behind each on the front and back MLOK areas on one side, and use a cheap hand-stop on the front-facing one to keep the magazine from sliding out forward. The magazine's buttplate keeps it from sliding the other direction. It's a great way to easy keep an extra 33 rounds with the weapon, or I suppose 66 if you're really wanting to make it heavy :D

Really like Dave's setup

This likes his tastes n flavours lol

New sub here. Just purchased mine. I have some great ideas for mods, will post a video when done. Thanks for the video.

I just bought one last Sunday at the gunshow, wanted 1 for a long time...gonna keep it iron sights, the owners before me took the factory sight off and put AR style flip up sights on it with a birdcage flash hider. I wanted the factory sights but these have grown on me...I put it in my shooting bag when I go up to land I own and it's going to be my rugged woods carbine, nothing too fancy just a sling and maybe a few mcarbo upgrades...I like running iron sights on most things anyway.

Great general information! What I really enjoyed was the longer and more detailed content. Nice!

Great video 👍🏽 I purchased one of these weapons about 3 months ago, I spent the extra money for every upgrade you can imagine. It’s really fun shooting this weapon with almost no recoil, I had to put Talon grips on it, mine is a Glock 17, I have prefer the 27 round mags, it keeps the gun light, I have a 31 round mag but those original Glock mags are heavy for the 31 rounders. I installed a really small tactical light on the bottom rail, I use a Romeo 5 Red Dot 🔴, I ordered it directly from MCarbo, it was expensive but it’s worth it, I own a Hi-Point 995TS, great weapon but it’s heavy, haven’t touched it sense acquiring the Sub 2k

At 5:09 ... funny ... I smiled.

I always enjoy your presentations and this is another.

I did a Mcarbo upgrade 90 % complete. From plastic 2 steel. That's my upgrade

I love this weapon...I purchased this when they first came out for like $275 at gun show. Shot it a few times other than that sits in the box in the safe. I would love to get the 22 and the 40 to complete the set.

I would index ports to sides on compensator. In dim light muzzle flash would be blinding

Just picked my 2K up last week at my FFL..

Had a coworker that showed me the sub2000 cause he wanted one and this video makes me want one too😂

Loved the video! Thanks for your post! On your friend Dave’s rifle, are those red magazine extensions? Does it give him more rounds? If so can you find out where he got them please? I just ordered the same rifle in a Glk19 configuration and would like to extend the mags but don’t know if aftermarket Glock mag extensions will fit on the Kel tec mags?

Thanks for the video! Question. Is the Red Dot site Co witness to your front site? Or is it just higher in your shooting above it? Thank you

if you put the MWI flip mount 2 slots forward you can store the gun with the bolt closed.

I love my sub 2000 but the Midwest industries mount I bought was not good at all. It would not hold zero what so ever so I sent it back. I have a qd mount that works great. I like the red dot on it but it's way better with just the iron sights to me. Mine is also in .40

i bought mine two years ago. i put a pistol grip with a push button on it so its flush with the barrel to fit in my backpack. good video.

just got mine last week, Gen2 .40 (Glock mags) - cant wait to shoot it!!!

I picked up a used one a few years ago. I haven’t shot it a lot but I really enjoy it.

Frustrated Bc assembly after field strip putting the bolt back in is a nightmare. Any suggestions?

If I already have a handgun should I have this for first home defense rifle ? Debating on this or another pistol

I was not expecting such a noise difference in the two just for one having a comp and one not.

I do not understand why the factory cannot make the folding mechanism like they put on the internally silenced one for the rest of them it is when they do that I will buy one

Love the sub2000 Glock version. It's a very unrated weapon. Well over 4000 rounds through mine and never had a malfunction.

What did you put on your cheek weld?

😅I'm my Gen takes smaller Glock 19 mag and up. Including the 17 and all the large sticks up to like the 30 some rounder sticks. The larger grip takes than all also but doesn't accept the shorter 15 g 19 mags. I love this gun. The most fun coolest gun yet. I find the factory sites work so good there is no reason to mess with rotating optic site mounts. The folding aspect of this gun is it's greatest attributes. You never see or read much about the cqc exaggerated silencer model? Wonder why ????😮

Super video, maybe flopping the 45' sight to the other side would be better.

I just need that damn flip to the side mount 😩

Having trouble finding the swivel Micro T-1 optics I see you using. Am looking to buy theSub2000 and want this optics for mine. Yes, I'm a newbe, but have a heart!

What red dot mount is that on your gun?

Thanks!

From what it looks like, your buddies can fold as well, since the RDS is offset. Am I guessing that right?

Cool video. What dose the compensator do for you?

Purchased a sub about 2 months ago haven’t made any changes..looking to add a sight and sling what route should I take🤔

I just don't understand what you said what Dave did for the Sub to accept both Glock mags. Is it an adapter for the mag well? Thank you!

What is this sight swivel mount?

Where did you get the offset from?

trigger finger!!

What scope mount is that?

Dave??? Dave??? Dave's not here...

The mcarbo optic mount is much better. No need for a rope to keep your bolt from breaking your optics.

Throw your 45 to the left so that when you shoot it tucks your elbow in. Don't want it getting hit in a fight.

Did I mention it's a GEN 1

So wear can I order a swivel mount for my red dot

I mean, what’s the point of having an offset red dot if you still have a light preventing you from folding it?

I will never buy a Sig optic again. They don't hold zero.

Your megajin bay

So he took the sights off and put a 45° optic? Idk that's just not for me.

Your trigger discipline is terrible. Nice guns though.

That thing would fit very nicely in a tennis racket bag or Trader Joe’s grocery bag.

Mine's in .40cal and I Mcarbo'd everything. It shoots like a.22cal. Phenomenal. Glock 22 round magazines in a Hailey Strategic Chest Rig carrying 6 magazines for 132 total rounds. If I have to get out of my vehicle and fight or come to the rescue of a Law Enforcement Officer, I can pepper SPANK the bad guys. Spend the extra money, you won't regret it.

that Midwest mount is crap. The pivot loosened up after a few hundred rounds taking it out of zero with no way to tighten it back up

Slighted red dot with no irons. Um sure

Since you never show the target, why take the time to explain why you are shooting low? LoL! Other than that, great video and your setup is vastly better then your friends, his makes no sense at all for this specific gun.

The whole purpose of this gun is the compactness of folding. Why wouldn't just buy a different carbine?

Friend Dave has some weird ideas. Anytime I see someone spray paint their gun I get sick to my stomach. With each use the paint will scratch and scrape and start looking like shit. No doubt the paint on that barrel has discolored and burnt off by now and the polymer is scratched up. If you have to customize the color then do it right - creakote. But not the barrel. I note he didn’t paint the optic, it’s mount, the light, the AFG or the threaded end of the barrel. Why? If you’re going to screw it up then screw it all up. Removed the sights? If the optic should fail or get damaged then he has nothing. He used an offset mount for the optic so as to not inhibit the gun’s folding feature and then mounted a light on top so the gun couldn’t be folded. The point of the offset mount is to allow the gun to fold. However, since the light has been mounted anyway, just mount the optic on top of the gun on a riser so it can see over the light. I like Dave’s optic and his AFG even though they would look better if there was some color matching going on here. Unless Dave has super long arms he should pull his AFG back. It will give him better control of the weapon and allow the light to be mounted in front of the AFG underneath the gun as intended. With the optic still on it’s offset mount the gun can then be folded as intended. Dave sure did customize his gun to his tastes. The problem is, he has bad taste. Why on earth would someone purchase a gun whose main feature is that it folds in half and then mount crap on it in such a manner that it can’t be folded? Dumb. I don’t think Dave understands that this gun is made for plinking, home defense or a truck/backpack gun. It’s not meant for guerrilla warfare. That’s what your AR-15 is for. (Please don’t paint the AR-15.) You did mention how comfortable Dave’s gun is to shoot when cocked over 45 degrees to use the red dot and you are correct. I find it to be very natural. Whiners complain that the flash, gas and brass are a distraction, but it is so minimal it’s hardly noticeable. As you can see in this video it is no problem at all. After all it is only 9mm. You have much better and more conservative taste. I like your Midwest Industries swivel mount. I used the same one before going to an offset mount. You might try ignoring the instructions that came with it and mount it forward one more M-LOK. I did this and it allowed me to fold my gun and swivel the optic in without locking the charging handle back and so eliminated the need for that dumb para cord. I like your optic and your compensator too. Your gator sleeve is a winner as well. Makes the cheek weld a tad more comfortable when you shoot and has the benefit of keeping the gun from grabbing and pulling the whiskers out of your face. Good job on the video. Taking your time and showing everything. I know it was unintentional, but it’s almost like you showed how an aggressive eclectic approach to modification can pretty much ruin a gun even when using decent expensive accessories while a conservative approach can improve the weapon. I’d say the only mistake you made was when you called the weapons “pistols” They are rifles. Pistol Caliber Carbines or PCC. I’ve had the MCARBO M-Series for three years and love the innovative little gun. The only accessories I’ve added, (I’m sure you know the M-Series came with a myriad of upgrades), are a Missouri Tactical butt-stock pad, an AFG and an offset mount with a small reflex red dot.

Buddies gun can't fold like it's supposed to with the light. And for yours look into the m Carbo in my opinion is better than the Midwest industry.

"Please be healthy" Humm, like we have a choice either way

Your friend Dave's optic setup makes no sense. If he has a light on top, he cant fold the gun, so why bother with an offset optic? He could just center the optic and not fold the gun ever... lol

This guy in annoying to listen too. Lol. But a good review

This is ridiculous.

Your friends sub2000 is far from perfect.
