KEL-TEC A B C standard SUB-2000. The Red Lion forearm can swivel 180 degrees to place the optic below the barrel, allowing an optic to be fitted to the gun and remain there when the SS is folded. This forearm features 4 detents in the articulating joint that return a noticeable “click” to ensure proper location of the optic. The forearm is locked into position by a large knurled nut near the receiver. To fold the gun, the trigger guard needs to be pulled downward, and the front half of the gun will unhook, and swing over the top of the butt stock. The SS lacks a mechanical detent to keep the gun locked in its folded state. With practice, the SU2000- SS can be deployed from a collapsed condition in less than 3 seconds. The suppressor is an Advanced Armament Evolution. The Evolution was chosen to compliment the SS for its size and effect and is the largest suppressor that will fit into the forearm assembly. For any given length, a wider suppressor proves more effective. The SS is not available without this suppressor. The <strong>SAR</strong> Vol. 18, No. 6 18 Nov., Dec. 2014
A. The stock tube has been shortened by 1 inch from the original Kel-Tec configuration. The bolt buffer has been made from brass. When the stock was made shorter, it needed to become heavier. The charge handle reciprocates with the bolt, but does not interfere with the shooter. B. The articulating joint of the forearm. The knurled nut is unscrewed two turns to unlock the forearm. C. The Aimpoint T-1 is the ideal sight for a weapon like the SS. The Aimpoint is very durable and can survive bumps, water, dust and anything else to be encountered in a backpack or tool box. The SU2000-SS does indeed require a riser on any optic used. SS is assembled from choice components, but should not be considered a “parts gun.” It is a balanced weapon system and nothing about the design is arbitrary. To become properly acquainted with the SS we needed to shoot it. An Aimpoint T1was installed to the forearm rail and gave it a quick laser boresight. At 25 yards, 3/4-inch groups were printed. Off-hand at that distance we could hold our shots inside 1.5 inches with little effort. The SS greatly improves the 9mm’s capability. The gun was fired with several different brands and bullet weights of 9mm. Federal’s “9mm Suppressor Subsonic” 124 grain was totally quiet… we’d call it “Hollywood quiet” and this was the same ammo that printed the 3/4” groups. This ammo was so well suited for suppressor use, even while shooting indoors; we could hear the bolt slam against the breech as the gun cycled. We performed timed discretionary drills with the SS beginning with the gun collapsed and concealed and with the gun held at the low ready. When “snap” shooting the SS at an IDPA target at 25 yards, “A” zone hits just seemed to happen. The gun points instinctively. Drills beginning with a concealed SS were enlightening. We were able to draw, deploy, aim and fire the gun, in 3 seconds. That’s good enough for government work as they say - it inspires confidence. The weapon functioned perfectly for 99 rounds, and only failed to eject number 100. We know that a suppressor causes more fouling and particulate to enter a gun’s mechanism, especially in a blowback operated gun. So the 1% malfunction could probably be defeated by a preemptive strike with a bore mop. This gun has great potential to find its way into the professional market. Every police car and motorcycle should have one onboard and every armored vehicle and every armed security detail should have one. Additionally, every Special Forces unit should have it in the armory. While that’s a lot of “Should haves,” it certainly is a remarkable weapon system. The advantage of a truly silent, concealable, compact, semiautomatic, with the accuracy of a rifle, cannot be overstated. The SS fills a role yet to be fully realized. We’d like to coin the term “aggressive defensive” for the role the SS will play. It is indeed a defensive weapon; suppressed to conceal the users location from an assailant. It is highly concealable; to remain out of sight; and keep its user from becoming the first target of a gun wielding madman. It can deliver 29 rounds of 9mm very quickly, and accurate enough to make deliberate hits on a target inside 100 yards. The SS can turn a “guy in crowd” into “guy that saved the day” in 3 seconds. With the ever growing frequency of “armed crazies” on our streets, a weapon of this sort, in the hands of law enforcement, could mean the difference between another shooting tragedy and a swift decisive resolution. In short, it’s as concealable as a pistol, and as effective as a rifle. It punches above its weight.
