I've been the staunch detractor of the Sub 2K for many years, as many as I've been a member here. Having owned and fired examples of the Gen 1 carbines, one soul think I had learned my lesson the first go around. Bad sights, bad trigger, and a marketing gimmick that had many, including myself, overlook the important things. One of the biggest caveats for me was optics mounting, or rather, lack thereof. If I cannot feasibly mount an optic to the weapon AND fold it for unassuming storage, then why exactly am I excited about a defensive PCC that I cannot utilize efficiently?
Now, enter the Gen 2. All the things that plagued the Gen 1 and gave me grief, they've worked on. Railed, better retention when folded, improved iron sights, and a slimmer, more lithe profile than its predecessor.
I, however, cannot justify purchasing one still. To me, it is just a less fugly Gen 1. Maybe someday, but I can still put my Mini Draco, 995TS, and even my RAS 47 in duffle bags, and they all have optics. No folding (well, the RAS stock side folds) necessary to have a more potent weapon system in a tight fitting package.
Someday, when Keltec decides to make one in 10mm, ill cantilever mount a Holosun 403G and drink y'all's koolaid though.
