| Anyone have one? Would you trust it for self defense? |

Drove 3 hours to get one for the 18 year old. Absolutely. I have the Gen 1 in .40", it's my murse gun, companion to my CC Glock 23.
It's just a simple blowback action, nothing to go wrong. These folks have upgraded trigger springs, etc. There's also a rotating forend if you want to throw a red dot or LER scope on the forend, and then rotate it out of the way to fold - made by Red Lion Precision. For 18-20 year olds, it's probably the best thing going as long as your state doesn't have a prohibition against concealed rifles. Across Gen 1 & Gen 2, Glock, SIG 226, Beretta 92/6, & S&W 59/M&P mags, depending on what your existing carry pistol is. |

Hmm good question.
My gen 2 has been dead nuts reliable, but for some reason I don't think I'd trust it for defense. Maybe because in my mind it is just a fun range toy. I have an EVO Carbine that I'd grab before my Sub2k. I may make it a sort of backpack gun of sorts one day, though. I love the gun, though. |

Mine only has about 400rds through it but has been flawless. I keep mine in a $20 Husky brand briefcase behind my seat at work with a few 33rd mags.
I wasn't sure how much I would like it, but honestly dollar for dollar it's one of the best gun purchases I've made recently. |

Nice, if I get one I definitely want the Midwest mount. |

Nice, if I get one I definitely want the Midwest mount. Yea it is nice. I'm not sure why they say to mount it in the 3rd slot and have to keep the bolt locked back with that stupid string safety. As you can see it fits just fine in the 2nd slot with the bolt forward. I think I got it al lanbos for a good price. |

I had a Gen 1 .40 cal I sold it to fund a build. I will buy another in 9mm Glock when I get the chance. I would definitely go for the Gen 2
Only issue I had with the first one was the front sight was off and adjusting it was screwy. It was dead reliable and ate everything I threw at it. Mine was a great fold up backpack gun. |

First thing I did was ditch that pink plastic crap and get the RLP front sight. My sight was straight but I had problems getting a picture with it. |

When you see one in the configuration you want, buy it then. These regularly sell for more than MSRP. Quoted:
