Ever admire the design/style of something, but wish it was produced by a quality manufacturer? I'm talking about a KelTec Sub2000, but I'm sure there are plenty of others out there.
I've had this gun for a couple years. I actually really like it. I love how it folds into this tiny little package that you could take with you camping, hiking, etc.. It's a lot of fun to shoot. Once I got the sights aligned, it's reasonably accurate (for what it is).
That said, the ergonomics are terrible, the sights are terrible, and the trigger is absolutely horrendous. The way it's put together, with screws, glue, and plastic, doesn't inspire confidence. I wish Glock or someone would steal the design and start making them. As much as I like it, it's really just a range toy. I wouldn't want to ever have to rely on it or anything.
I think what bothers me the most is the horrible trigger. The only thing I can compare it to is the double-action pull on a Nagant revolver, only worse. I've been reading a little about ways to improve it a little. One way is with a $140 "trigger kit", but I'd really rather not spend that much on something like this. Anyone here ever worked on one of these? Taking it apart looks like it could be challenging.
