KelTec has built a reputation for pushing boundaries with innovative firearm designs that serve a practical purpose. The SUB2000 folding carbine is a perfect example—compact, reliable, and easy to deploy. Now, KelTec is taking that proven platform a step further by introducing a new chambering: 10mm.
With increased ballistic performance and the same trusted folding design, the SUB2000 10mm brings added capability to a wide range of applications—from backcountry defense to home protection. Here’s the official announcement from KelTec:
Cocoa, FL – KelTec® announces yet another new twist on one of its leading innovations. Available late this summer, the 10mm SUB2000™ rifle, the latest in a new line of caliber options for the groundbreaking folding carbine.
What began as the first fold-in-half 9mm carbine, KelTec gave a new innovative twist with a unique forend that allows the SUB2000 to twist-and-fold in either direction in a single motion, without removing optics. Last September, KelTec introduced the 5.7x28mm. The first in a new line of caliber options.
“Whether you’re hiking, climbing, camping, upgrading home defense or now even hunting,” said Managing Director Derek Kellgren, “the SUB2000 10mm is a reliable, accurate and even more versatile folding carbine.”
The SUB2000 also continues its benefit of being compatible with popular handgun magazines. The new 10mm caliber is being offered in Glock® 20 magazines (15-round capacity) and supports various third-party stick and drum magazine options.
The ballistic advantage and accuracy at distance come from the 16 barrel. Barrel length translates to ″ velocity which translates to power downrange.
“The SUB2000 10mm, like it’s other caliber siblings, is also available as part of the KelTec Peacekeepers™ Program,” added Director of Business Development Parker Rosenberger. “It’s an excellent choice for law enforcement, government, private security, school resource officers, and church protection teams. Its ability to quickly fold and deploy, with zeroed optics ready to go, makes it perfect for situations where compact, reliable firepower is essential.”
For home defense, the SUB2000 10mm naturally includes the benefits of compact, fold-in-half storage and quick and easy deployment.
“KelTec’s commitment to innovation, quality, and performance means we never stand still,” concluded Marketing Manager Matt Stanek. “The evolution of the SUB2000 line is a testament to our dedication to continuous innovation.”
