Lwrc 14.5in DI w/ vortex viper PST and buis with 4 mags, S&W MP2.0 9 with 3 mags and 1 22rd, skip the shotgun and give me my 22mag with a can and 4 mags plus a few hundred rounds.

This thread has some interesting picks . But I've noticed so far nobody has mentioned the Sub2000. I have a Ruger PC9 that I really dig since it can use the same mags as my G19. But it's a bit on the heavy side. I like the take down ability and fluted threaded barrel but I still wonder if the Sub2K folder might accomplish the same task while taking up less space and has to be lighter.

They just don't seem sturdy enough for the job.

Funny you picked those. I have all three. Although my Mossberg does need a light.

I think both of us are in the same boat, inexpensive oh, what we have on hand, and reliable

I stated I'll take a Sub-2000 to hang with a Glock 17.

I'll just snipe you with my deer rifle and take your above referenced arsenal at will.

Winner!....I don't put too much thought into it, if it goes bang I can make it work, if it stops going bang, I'll find an alternative

It does seem like a solid pair. Granted I've never shot or even held a Sub2K but from the reviews I've read and watched that was one of the kodels Kel Tec got right. Like I said before I dig my PC9 especially since it's ambidextrous. But it's also on the heavy side. The take down part is cool but I just don't see it being as handy as the Kel Tec folder. So...yeah I would probably trade my PC9 for a Sub2K. And that's saying something because I believe the Ruger build quality is most likely better than thw Sub2K.

I havent even shot my Sub-2000 Gen 2 yet, but its a neat rifle. The folding is what always drawn me to the gun. I've put on a 9mm suppressor on it for looks and it still handles pretty well.

I know, I know, everyone here is prepared for SHTF/Invasion/WROL/ETC. Random scenario. Ok, you have your favorite guns in your vehicle (whether you own them or not). A message over the loudspeakers at your place of employment come on and states breaking news that the country is being invaded by parachuting forces (Red Dawn). You have 3 guns: pistol, rifle, shotgun. They can be tricked out with fancy bells and whistles, but you only have 3 pistol mags, 3 rifle mags, and 20 shots of shotgun shells. It's 30 miles to your house where you have to drive, walk, etc to make it home. List your 3 guns and honestly think and answer if you can make it home with the loadout you selected and why. Go!
I'll start off saying I would have a Glock 17 MOS with ZEV internals, Trijicon RMR, Viridian laser/light combo with compatible holster, and 33 round mags. Kel-Tec Sub-2000 Glock mag model, M-CARBO stock & red dot mount, Sig Romeo 5, 33 round mags, MagPul RVG, and SureFire Ryder 9 Ti-2 suppressor, and MagPul QD mounted sling. Benelli M4 with ghost ring sights, Streamlight PolyTac LED flashlight, side saddle, and Blue Force Gear bungee sling QD mounted.
And I will make it home due to my choices of guns. Police departments carry Glock, Glock has a HQ here, and they are everywhere. Mag sharing between the Glock and Kel-Tec will be my friend.
