I got an ad from Keltec in my inbox this morning:
https://order.keltecweapons.com/sub2000-cqb-defender.html 

It looks really cool ... any thoughts on it or anyone have any experience with it?

If I needed something like that, I would say that it could be potentially useful.  I like the integrated suppressor with a shorter overall length.

With that being said:  I always wait a while when something new comes out to see if it actually is going to work out like advertised.

Definitely high on the homely list, to me. But cool for those who want such a thing.

I've gotten two KelTec firearms to date and have been less than impressed. I appreciate that they're trying new things, but their execution leaves a lot to be desired. I am not going to be a customer for this offering.

This is the go to bag/truck gun for a bunch of my friends in 5.7x28. Getting one is on my list - just need to be NYS co.pliant (I know, I know). From what they said, there is a break in period but the regular model is about $600 and it shoots nice from the one mag I put through it.

Had a Keltec sub, 1st gen, configured for Ber92 mags. Not a bad gun, accuracy on par with Ruger's PC carbine... and better made than Ruger, IMHO. Sold both and went HK94, Turkish made. More money and much higher quality; super accurate too - clover leafs at 25 yards, 3" groups at 100.
I'd never leave the HK in a trunk, but would with the Keltec. So...

I mean it's a heck of a lot cheaper than my SP5-K & Omega 9k...
