KelTec® announces yet another new twist on one of its leading innovations. Available late this summer, the 10mm SUB2000 rifle, the latest in a new line of caliber options for the groundbreaking folding carbine.
What began as the first fold-in-half 9mm carbine, KelTec gave a new innovative twist with a unique forend that allows the SUB2000 to twist-and-fold in either direction in a single motion, without removing optics. Last September, KelTec introduced the 5.7x28mm. The first in a new line of caliber options.
“Whether you’re hiking, climbing, camping, upgrading home defense or now even hunting,” said Managing Director Derek Kellgren, “the SUB2000 10mm is a reliable, accurate and even more versatile folding carbine.”
The SUB2000 also continues its benefit of being compatible with popular handgun magazines. The new 10mm caliber is being offered in Glock® 20 magazines (15-round capacity) and supports various third-party stick and drum magazine options.

The ballistic advantage and accuracy at distance come from the 16 barrel. Barrel length translates to ′′ velocity which translates to power downrange.
“The SUB2000 10mm, like it’s other caliber siblings, is also available as part of the KelTec Peacekeepers™ Program,” added Director of Business Development Parker Rosenberger. “It’s an excellent choice for law enforcement, government, private security, school resource officers, and church protection teams. Its ability to quickly fold and deploy, with zeroed optics ready to go, makes it perfect for situations where compact, reliable firepower is essential.”
For home defense, the SUB2000 10mm naturally includes the benefits of compact, fold-in-half storage and quick and easy deployment.
“KelTec’s commitment to innovation, quality, and performance means we never stand still,” concluded Marketing Manager Matt Stanek. “The evolution of the SUB2000 line is a testament to our dedication to continuous innovation.”

The problem with putting a 10mm in a blowback carbine is that even with a heavier bolt and stiffer springs, the case is going to be backing out of the chamber before the pressure fully drops, so the case mouth will still be tight against the chamber walls, resulting in case stretching. That’s no big deal if you only shoot factory ammo, but if you reload it means brass life will be short, and a case separation above the web is inevitable eventually. If it happens when you’re at the range, no problem, a tightly-fitted brush will get the front… Read more »
The main issue I have is that the 9mm isn’t exactly cheek friendly so…..

The only problem with the 10mm is the ammo companies. Outside of Buffalo Bore and Underwood, I don’t think anyone loads it to the original standard.
Even Speer loads their 10mm light too.
“You think anyone would want to use an optic on this thing? They are pretty popular.”
“Nahhhh! Especially since we’re gonna fold it like this!”
Seriously, someone should be fired.
