    I have a gen 2 sub 2k in .40 I love it as a range toy. Mine came from the factory with the front sight post on crooked (that's Kel Tec quality control for you) I took it off and will order an aftermarket one eventually.

    For now I just put a cheap red dot w/quick disconnect riser on it when I'm going to shoot it. Even though I take it off it stays sighted in well enough as long as I put it back on the same way.

    I've got about 300 rounds through mine now (all cheap ammo, mostly Winchester white box) and I haven't had any malfunctions yet!

    Not really a carbine but the CZ Scorpion with an arm brace would be a good option. Cheap, compact, reliable, accurate.

    I think that's going to be the next gun on my list. They keep coming down in price too, which is nice.

    On a side note I just installed all the cajun gun works parts into my shadow 2. This thing is insane now. I thought it was great before but it doesn't even compare.

    Nice combo. I have the 5R version of that. Make sure you bed the action if you haven't already and upgrade to 8-40 base screws if it didn't come with them.
    I've been wanting to swap the stock out for a chassis, but it shoots nice and tight as is.

    I just wanted to share:
    I have been shopping for a new mechanical release for Hunting to replace my aging Carter quickie +one, and have come Across a perfect replacement for anybody that may be in the market for a new release.
    The true fire hard-core Max release, belt buckle,flip back design , fully adjustable trigger, open hook design. This thing is crisper then my Carter was, I would call it the perfect hunting Release.

    Well, just bought a gun off gun broker for the first time. Never used anything but a credit card for purchases and of course the seller doesnt them. Thankfully he has been quick to answer my emails and fairly understanding too!

    No reason to take hell for it.

    Depending on who you ask there are hundreds of reasons TO hunt and equally as many NOT TO hunt.

    I happen to like filling my freezer with the vast majority of my hunts and once in a blue moon get lucky enough to harvest an animal that is both a trophy and fills my freezer.

    To each their own :cheers:
