Brevard Sheriff SROs to Carry KelTec Sub 2000s

[Doheny]

Did a quick search and didn't see this...

ETA: fast forward to 1:30 if you want to save a bit of time.

I'm not familiar with the KelTec Sub.

A 9mm/.40 sounds like a good choice for the job. What do you think OP?

Oh yeah! Got to love Presscott. Wish I could convince the wife to leave early

Haven’t studies shown 223 penetrates less than 9mm? I’m a bit surprised they don’t just use Sbr length AR with a can

Oh No, Lungs will be blown completely out of people . The potato said so.

$400, 4 lbs, compact, can take the same mags are their duty pistol. Better than nothing

I'm a fan of Keltec but realize they can be very hit or miss. I can say that my sub2k is by the far the most reliable Keltec I've ever owned. This is even dating back to the Grendel days. It's surprisingly accurate as well.

Do I think there are better choices? Perhaps. But I have no problem with what they chose. The only thing is they need to make sure every single one of those Sub2000's are 100% reliable by training with them a bunch.

Kel-Tec Sub 2000?


Or Hi Point Carbine?

So maybe they should go over to Knights and pick up a belt fed. 😂

A foldable PCC makes a lot of sense for this application, more compact to carry on the body. Also a PCC can reach out much further accurately than a handgun, the energy on target doesn't go up significantly compared to 9/40 duty handguns. And with HP ammo the bit of extra velocity tend to increase expansion at the expense of penetration, which is probably a good thing.

No idea how good the Keltecs are though, but I can see why the packaging appeals for the purpose. An AR with can get much larger and bulkier to carry on the body, though an AK with a foldable stock may work

Given that they want the SRO to have a rifle-ish weapon on them at all times, I suspect weight was of paramount concern to them...and a higher priority than caliber...which is probably why they went with the Keltec.
