Sub-2000....why can't anyone get them???

[Mofohead]

Anyone have any idea why the 9mm Sub-2k's are difficult to get/find??? I even contacted Kel Tec and they simply sad they are in high demand and they are pushing them out as fast as possible. They are definitely really neat. So neat that I have the the gotta-have-its really bad and i've been on waiting lists at three different local gun shops for over two months and still nothing. One of the gun shops here in Fort Wayne, IN even said they haven't seen a 9mm sub-2k in over a year.

Are they really in that much of a demand? I heard a rumor (and can't remember the source) that Kel Tec has recently moved their manufacturing facility and that's why there is such a shortage. Any truth to that rumor?

I'm relatively new to INGO and never really thought about checking the classified until the other day. Of course I saw a couple that sold for really decent prices in the past couple months and I missed out. I just want to get one and I'm tired of waiting.

Ranger had a glock .40 model in stock a month or two ago. It was very cool and I would have snatched it up if it was 9mm.

Bradis Guns in Camby, IN had the .40 Glock flavor last week, you may contact them.

I saw at least 3x of them at the last 1500. Though the asking price was ~150$ above MSRP for the cheapest one.

Kel-Tec is known, for one thing, for their interesting and innovative designs, but at least as much for their inadequate manufacturing capacity. If something gets popular, it'll go into shortage immediately. Look up the KSG for a great example, but be warned, you'll probably want one.

I saw another post in the last few days where Bradis had 4 on the shelf in 40 cal. When they have them, they have them until they sell out.

I got really lucky and picked up a trade in at gander mountain in 9mm not to long ago. You can get them around the Fort Wayne area every now and then, but be ready to pay at least 100-150 above retail.

Welcome to INGO. The Sub-2000 is a unique design and Keltec just hasn't been able to keep up. Since you are looking to buy, you should be aware that INGO requires that you have 50 quality posts or pay to become a site supporter before you can partipate in the classifieds. More info here.

Took me 3 months to get one under 500 bucks.... Got mine for 325 used but excellent.... I doubt the way demand is, you will see them available until after the election....

We have them, just not in large numbers and not with any kind of consistency. Had a new .40 and a pre-owned 9mm on the rack Saturday, and have a couple new 9mms coming in next week. When will we get more after that? Who knows.

nice guns but im not going to pay the high prices just because everyone thinks they are cool right now

 

[spearheadersarge]

Love mine and it looks wicked with that 33 rounder sticking out the bottom! Very fun to shoot and love the folding! Complements my Glock 19 for ammo and mag swapability!

Just picked up a G17 (9mm) at Orion in Jeffersonville yesterday - they had five more on the rack, several people were looking to buy when I snagged mine.

I might mention that I thought it was butt ugly until I took it to the range today. Nice group at the 50 but by the tme I got it sighted in and moved to 100 yard line I was shaking so bad from the cold I could hardly keep it on the paper. I'm starting to like it.

Paid $360.00 for it plus $42.00 per for two 33 rnd mags

I swear I just saw a Sub 2000 in 9mm at the Indy Trading Post today.

Saw one for sale in clarksville for 250 this weekend on a forum. 502streetscenes.net

I tought it was a bargain - if you don't factor in the $70.00 in gas for the trip south.

NO I'am NOT trying to run up my post count. The check's in the mail.

Yep, I read that. That's why i'm getting started now so I can leverage the classifieds at some point in the future.

I check 502streetscenes.net frequently because I'm from that region of kentuckiana and there are decent gun deals to be had on there. Now i'm finishing up grad school at Purdue so I always miss out on the deals down south. It's tough to snag a gun on here without having 50 posts.
