The KelTec SUB2000 CQB (KelTec part no. SUB2K9GLKBLKCQB) is an integrally suppressed 9mm carbine built on KelTec’s proven folding SUB2000 platform, refreshed with an integrally suppressed barrel engineered as a complete system for improved balance, sound mitigation, and reliability.

It’s a fitting release for KelTec’s 35th Anniversary in 2026.
