The KelTec SUB-2000 Gen 3 9mm is a semi-automatic carbine that folds in half and feeds from Glock magazines, supplied here with a 15-round magazine (brand part no. SUB2K9GLKBLKD). KelTec built the third generation with a rotating forend, so the carbine folds with an optic still mounted. A 16.15-inch barrel gives pistol ammunition more velocity than a handgun barrel, and a straight blowback action keeps the rifle simple to run and maintain. Folded, it measures about 16 inches and tucks into a pack, a vehicle or a small space. It is a convenient range gun, truck gun and backpack carbine.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9x19mm (9mm Luger), the same cartridge as your Glock handgun.
• Barrel length is 16.15 inches, which turns barrel length into velocity and downrange power.
• Folded length is 16.15 inches, compared with 29.2 inches open, so it stores and carries compactly.
• The magazine well accepts Glock 17 and Glock 19 magazines, so you can share magazines with a Glock pistol.
• The rifle is supplied with a 15-round magazine, ready to load.
• M-LOK compatibility and Picatinny rail space on the top and bottom make room for lights, optics and accessories.
• A rotating forend lets the rifle fold while an optic stays mounted and zeroed.
