The KelTec SUB2000 G3 is a 4.25-pound 9mm carbine that folds in half for storage: 30.5 inches open with its 16.25-inch barrel, roughly 16.25 by 7 inches folded. It runs a simple straight-blowback action, takes Glock-pattern 9mm magazines (one 10-round magazine included), and has an adjustable stock, adjustable standard sights, an ambidextrous manual safety and an accessory interface on the receiver for an optic. Finish is blue/black.

This is a range and travel-case carbine for an Illinois owner who already feeds a Glock-pattern pistol and wants a long gun on the same magazines. It is not a deer rifle, since Illinois limits firearm deer season rifles to single-shot centerfire guns of .30 caliber or larger. Folded, it fits a backpack or a small case, the blowback action has few parts to clean, and the adjustable stock lets more than one shooter in the household use it.
