Kel-Tec SUB2000 Gen3 9mm 16.15" 10rd CA Compliant Rifle

The Kel-Tec SUB2000 Gen 3 is a 9mm carbine that runs Glock 19 magazines, so the magazines that feed a G19 feed the rifle too. That is the whole idea behind a pistol caliber carbine: one cartridge, one magazine, two guns, and one column in the reloading ledger. The 16.15" threaded barrel keeps the gun in rifle territory and leaves the muzzle open for a brake or a can.

This is the California compliant version, and it comes with a 10 round magazine to stay inside state limits. Gen 3 is the version marking on this build. The finish is black, and there is nothing decorative about the gun anywhere. Nine millimeter out of a carbine length barrel is mild to shoot and easy to spot hits with, which makes the SUB2000 a common answer for a truck gun, a first centerfire long gun for a new shooter, or a range gun that shares a magazine drawer with a pistol already in the safe. For a household already invested in Glock magazines, the appeal is obvious: nothing new to buy on the feeding side.
