my local gun store has a gen 2 that takes glock 17 mags in 9mm for 450.00 are they any good? stay away?

Fun little carbine, check the trigger though. Mine has a horribly heavy trigger pull.

Carried ours to Florida this week. Fits in a backpack nicely.

I bought one back in November and like it, mine takes 9mm Beretta magazines.

Here's my Dad and I shooting pumpkins back in late November 2016, that's at around 50 yards. He's got the Glock magazine version:

Mine is an OD green model which I think looks pretty cool:

I have the older one that takes the Sig P226 magazine. 9mm out if it will have about the same energy / power as a .357magnum from a 4 inch revolver. Fun carbine to have. God Bless

I held one in my hands years ago that took P226 mags and I kick myself every day for not buying it.

I have experience with the gen 1, they are fun, not 100% reliable in my experience. They are a nitch gun that is cool, a folding carbine that fits easily into a diaper bag, computer case, and can take 33 round mags. This is the only game in town with these features, and I applaude Kel-tec for that. I am interested in getting a gen 2 glock model of course.

My department is dumping our Glock 22s which will leave me with a plethora of 22 mags and .40 ammo but no gun in .40. Looking for one of these to pickup as a backpack gun.

Just installed the Mcarbo trigger in my gen 1. Didn't need the spring kit. Lucked out I guess.
