The Folding Firearm Market

[Talyn]

folding firearms seem to be among the fastest-growing oddball genres of firearms? I call myself an eclectic collector, so these things catch my eye. For years, we had the KelTec SUB 2000 and then the Chiappa Badger series, but not much more.

Then they opened the floodgates, and they came from everywhere. We had the S&W FPC, the Trailblazer Pivot, and then even odder options from B&T and ZEV. As the idea evolved, guns like the Ounce, the Switch, and the Rock Island Armory Pak-Out broke from the rifle-only meta to produce pistols and shotguns.

The Folding Firearm Market

I love folding guns. They entertain me like no other. I've got a collection of firepower that folds and I want to talk about why.

My son bought me a gen three Sub 2K for my birthday this year. It’s proved to be a darn reliable and decently accurate little carbine. Packs down in a small computer bag. I wanted it for security team I’m on-certainly reaches out better/easier than the compact pistol under my suit coat. Another tool in the box if things go bad.

For some reason I really like the folding carbines. The first one I bought years ago was the Springfield M6 scout .22lr 410 over and under. I just looked on GB and was shocked. The damn things are priced at around $1200. Then a few years ago I bought a Kel Tec Sub 2000. I think it's a gen 1 because the barrel folds back over the top of the receiver. I had to buy a spring loaded mount that pops off to one side to get the optic out of the way. Now the S&W M&P FPC really appeal to me. So far I have 3. 22lr, 9mm and 10mm. I haven't ruled out a 45 acp yet.

My Sub2k g3 is a hoot to shoot.
Never a hiccup & always goes click.

Definitely a fun gun!

To late for me to have a new toy but years ago I had the little Enforcer that traveled with me in patrol car and personal car for several years.

It's never too late.

I wanted something to pair with my 3rd Gen S&W 5906TSW and my CZ P-07. My Gen 2 S2K does that. I added a M*Carbo red dot mount and Olight and its a great travel/truck gun.

I did add the M*Carbo buffer tube cover and heavier charging handle as well.

The tippmman foldin 22 pistol is a fun one to shoot.

It is when you have to make a choice. High dollar meds or something that I really don't need even though you like them.
