16 inches is absolutely useless for a pistol caliber, cut that thing down to 10 inches and then youll have a much better carbine
I would like that also if I didn't have to register an SBR.16 inches is absolutely useless for a pistol caliber, cut that thing down to 10 inches and then youll have a much better carbine
If you are in a situation where you are concerned about getting shot from a distance, I am not sure it matters whether you are carrying a rifle or not. You either shouldn't be in that situation or you should be armed because the people doing the shooting probably don't care. Just my opinion.Why wouldn't I just carry the carbine and be ready to use it? Because it would make me a threat to someone who can see me from beyond the range of the carbine who may be armed with a more suitable round to take out long distance threats. That hesitation to determine if I am armed and a threat or not might be the difference between me getting home and being another nameless corpse. I'm to old to run around playing operator and going toe-to-toe with trained troops...or even untrained mobs. From a distance I want to look like what I am...just a poor schmuck trying to get home.

Understood.I defined the situation...as shtf event where you have to get home...on foot. People are going to be trying to protect their own and the approach of armed people is going to be an obvious potential threat, whereas if I am not obviously armed, I might get the benefit of the doubt pending further observation.
IMO, you can't put together an AR faster. Too many parts that may not be in place quite right in order to slap it together quickly. However, an SU16 that takes AR mags would probably deploy just as quickly as a sub2000. I have a Saiga 223 AK with a folding stock that is pretty short. One of the folding stock 30 cal AK's would probably work well also. I am sure there are a lot of other options.If in a situation where you need to get home walking, I'd rather have an AR 15 broken down in my bag where I could probably put it together just fast as unfolding the Sub2000. But I could also carry my Tavor or AR15 pistol in a concealed bag, and get access to them quicker if needed. You just have to use your imagination as to how you conceal carry your weapons. The Kel-tec Sub2000 is just the cheaper version of getting home concealed carrying , although you can now get an AR pistol in the $500.00 range.

No AR fanboy brigade at all. Just pointing out that there are other options just as good or better for backpack or computer bag concealed carry than the Sub 2000.And here comes the AR fanboy brigade.
Yes, and a nice short 12 gauge or a .22 would be a better choice than an AR, IMO.No AR fanboy brigade at all. Just pointing out that there are other options just as good or better for backpack or computer bag concealed carry than the Sub 2000.
...I'll have a carbine and a hand gun that takes same bullet and mags ....The fold up is handy for storage
If you are in the middle of an active shooter event, you best not be whipping anything out once the law boys are on the scene.I feel like if you whip out a rifle in public during an active shooter event, the police would be more likely to think you are the criminal as opposed to if you whip out a pistol.
