Right. I said my piece, as you guys knew I would. Over & out. :D

i'm a vegetarian, but occasionally i'll put bacon on my veggie burger....

I'm a vegetarian (medical reasons) but I own a Colt AR15, Beretta 92FS, Sig P239, Browning ABolt in .243 WSSM, Remington 1187 and a .22 rifle. We shoot these at the local range, hunt with them and carry them for self-defense. We live near Detroit, enough said?

Oh, I'm also starting to reload my own ammo...

There have been armed Buddhists, and even Ghandi (not Buddist, but very peaceful) was all for an armed civilian population.

Embraer, where'd you get the Kel-tec at? I might have to pick one up myself?

And how do you like the new terminal? Apparently the opening has been rough on the contractors. A friend of mine was named overall project manager at the airport after the previous project manager went 60 hours without sleep and essentially fried her brain. I'll have some stories as soon as it calms down over there.

kel-tec Sub 2000,....9mm. i paid $260 for it, brand new. uses glock mags (regular and high capacity).

just to see how it would work, i put 300 rounds of Blazer steel case (super cheap ammo) through it. not a single misfire, or anything.

I like the Kel-Tec; I have the blued one that takes the Glock magazines like yours. but want to get one with the hard chrome finish. That finish seems more practical for a "stowable" carbine like the Sub-2000. (I really wish Kel-Tec would make it in stainless steel.)

Regarding the ammo. You mention "Blazer steel case" -- are you referring to CCI Blazer?

I wasn't aware that they make any with steel cases. Blazer makes aluminum-cased ammo, and in the past few years have started making brass-cased too.

If I remember correctly, I believe Kel-Tec says to not use aluminum cased ammo (like Blazer) in the Sub-2000.

You may want to check your owner's manual.

Edit: I just checked the manual Kel-Tec has online:
http://www.kel-tec-cnc.com/downloads.htm
I don't see any warning about aluminum cased ammo. I'll have to see if I can dig up my manual; I'm pretty sure they warned about it before in the manual, but they may have changed their position on that.

Edit #2: Yes, I was right. On this page http://www.kel-tec-cnc.com/news.htm Kel-Tec says:

CAUTION! DO NOT USE ALUMINUM CASED AMMUNITION WITH THE SUB-2000 RIFLE.
Doing so could result in malfunctions.

If yours is working fine with Blazer aluminum cased ammo, then I guess you're OK. They don't seem to be saying there is any safety issue using it.

Competentone....

I used Wolf steel case...not blazer. I mispoke. Both the Keltec and HiPoint can't use Aluminum case, per the manual. I was thinking about Blazer, because I, ironically, was just talking to my buddy about NOT using it in his KP-44.

Legion...

The new terminal has been a snafu for passengers. I hate the increased traffic on I-70 now south of the field. It's neat, and long overdue, but the initial week has been hard on everybody. Luckily we didn't have to take delays on crews getting lost!

Picked up the Keltec at Bradis Guns in Mooresville. They wanted $300 for the Keltec, but I bought a lot of other stuff that day, so the price was haggled.
