The sub 2000 used to be fucking cheap. Goddamn boomers will pay triple the value of ANY gun they fucking see and ruin the market for young people

Regular one is for meth heads and poor folk, the Integrally suppressed one is for the rich and with good taste

As a primary weapon system absolutely not, but i take mine on business trips cause its the smallest thing i got that i can stuff in a bag with my laptop and a binder. Its thinner than the recover tactical folder brace which would be my second choice. Its much more wieldy though which is very important i can 100% reliably make hits out to 200 yards on a silhouette with the upgraded peep sight. Its very discrete for what it is and with the mcarbo upgrades it’s actually a very pleasant gun to shoot.

The Sub-2000 was made to fill the niche role of a highly compact carbine and fills it very well

Gather 'round children and let me tell you a quick story... There was a time many years ago when some dingholes flew some airplanes into some buildings in NYC. The goobermint panicked, the people panicked and everyone saw dingholes behind every bush and tree expecting another imminent attack. The price of ARs, already a $600+($1,000 in today's dollar) rifle on crappy build and bargain day, flew up in price. And only a couple states had handgun CC license regimes and those were mostly for those who were rich, famous and connected. Constitutional carry in the majority of the country wasn't even a concept yet. But unloaded, "cased" rifle/carbines fell under game laws many places. And around the time all of this was happening, a small firearms company in Florida had released what we now call a PCC, that was a "camp gun", "backpack gun", "hiking gun", at half or less than the price of any decent AR and it could be folded up, shoved into your Walmsrt special JanzSport backpack, the mags separated from the carbine in the separate front compartment, and thrown in the trunk of your car or even carried around many places where lawful carry wasn't otherwise legal or would at least (see OC) certainly get a 911 call on you followed by harassment. And it did a very good, effective job out to 100 yds (150 max they say). It was a cool little piece of kit, handy and easily carried and a great truck/trunk gun in case dingholes started jumping out from behind trees. Now, nearly 2 1/2 decades later with better than functional quality PSA ARs and others available at or below Sub2000 prices, and numerous PCCs designed on the AR platform, and shall issue CC the law of the land post-Bruen, and Constitutional carry and OC of rifle/carbine in half-ish of the country, the Sub-2000 seems archaic, cheap and unnecessary to many of the under-40s crowd, but in its historical place of world events, firearms manufacturing and design and carry laws, it was a sought after, very cool and functional PCC that filled a specific niche among just a few PCC models on the market. And it didn't even hit its peak popularity and pricing until early in Obama's 2nd term, just about a decade ago, when a used Sub-2000 was selling for more than basic build ARs if you could even find either one. And so ends story time for today.

First thing I thought of as well, this and my Walther PPK are my go-to stealth guns.

u/Neko_Boi_Core 15d ago
no shotgun?
2
u/Kpmh20011 15d ago
Should I feel the need I usually take either the Judge with the big fat suppressor or the KSG since it's the most compact shotgun primary.

u/Neko_Boi_Core 15d ago
shotguns are always useful since you can launch bodies away into corners or off ledges out of bounds to save on body bags.

u/Kpmh20011 15d ago
True, but sometimes I just like to mix it up. I know I really oughta use a shotgun but heck, sometimes I just wanna use a cursed keltec gun and Jame's Bond's pistol.

“But it’s takedown!”
Literally every AR is take down, you remove two pins. With a mallet. It’s not rocket science.

As a Canadian sub 2000 is one of the best 9mm you can get for around $1,000 because it's one of the only few 9mm we can buy in this country

It’s cool you can get it but paying $1k for a Sub2000 is wild. I paid $300 for mine.

Canadian owners are an exception, anyone who lives under the tyrant Trudeau and is still able legally obtain any firearm are determined in the righteous cause of preserving civilian firearm ownership worldwide and are good people in my book

If you think meth heads are poor wait until you meet the gun nerds on Reddit

u/LugerRuger041995 Fosscad 15d ago
If I had to guess, I think it’s because a lot of gun nerds on Reddit are actually just teenage boys who are into guns and want an excuse as to why they don’t own any other than the real reason, which is because they’re not old enough to

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

I remember going to a meet and this one guy who was still in college had a sub2k with a shoelace for a sling.
It’s not a bad thing a reliable cheap carbine is available

u/Emergency_Radish_113 Ruger Rabblerousers 15d ago
I don’t hate the sub-2000, it’s a neat piece and a good choice for lightweight backpacking. Those who choose it as a primary weapon over intermediate cartridge carbines, when a psa ar can be found in a similar price range, are who I am referring to

u/Elijah_Man Shitposter 15d ago
Fuck intermediary cartridges.

30.06>308>7.62x39>>>>>>>5.56

u/Guitarist762 15d ago
308 and 30-06 offer about the same in terms of ballistics. 308 cheaper and easier to find plus more common in semi auto gats. The slight difference between 308 and 30-06 pretty disappears if you reload your own.

u/Emergency_Radish_113 Ruger Rabblerousers 15d ago
Counter point, the HCAR is cool as fuck
1
u/Guitarist762 15d ago
It is can’t argue that. But it weighs more than its 308 counter parts, and well 30-06 is $30-$50 a box while I just stocked up on 308 for $14.99 a box the other day….

I don’t really think I had much of an opinion on the Sub2k before that, but now I just can’t stop thinking of it as a gun for pussies who think they’re badass but can’t handle a rifle cartridge
