KelTec Sub2000 in 10mm

[campinginaz]

I've been meaning to post this one for a while (received the email from KelTech in April).

KelTec now has the Sub2000 chambered in 10mm. This takes Glock 20 magazines. It's a bit heavier at 5.6 pounds (compared to the 9mm at 4.2 pounds). They also do not have the twist rate listed like they do on the 9mm and 5.7x28. I'm sure this will pack a punch though.

While I have never shot a 10mm, this seems pretty cool for those that do or carry one.

The 9mm sub2000’s I’ve owned had a sharp recoil compared to other similar platforms. I shot one in .40 that I thought was approaching “unpleasant” as the bolt slammed into the raar pin, as much as I love 10mm I’m not sure this is a great idea.

Can you afford to practice with 10mm?

Great point, I noticed a difference between 9mm and .40 (back when I had .40). I wonder if they did anything to help with recoil of 10mm.

Can you shoot .40 in it?

Can you shoot .40 in it?

I would not. Having had a MechTech in .460 Rowland, I know from personal experience that trusting the extractor to hold head space is just asking for trouble.
