I've fired 2 different Kel Tec pistols. Both had triggers as you described.

2) accuracy is good; it's a carbine, not a 300 yd tack driver. don't expect a miracle with sub MOA, but it's more than good enough for fun plinking.
Pretty much what I expected. I'm not looking to win any competitions. Just some fun.

3) ease of service; easy to takedown and clean. Bolt comes out easily, etc
That's good to hear. I'm not a fan of complex guns.

4) Glock version; easy to come across mags, etc. For fun, get yourself one of the 32 round mags, just to brag!
5) because mine is older, there were not a lot of accessories for it at the time. The new versions have provisions for different guards/rails, etc
I have a G19. I've wanted a 33 round mag, but I've never got around to getting one. If I can find a Sub2000, that might be the reason I get one. The Gen2 with rails does lend it's self to more options and more fun.

6) reliability; has cycled everything I've ever fed it with no complaints. However, I don't make a habit of feeding it HP bullets; most are RN, so feeding should not ever be an issue with those. I reload my own 147g RN sub-sonics for my sub-guns, and use them for plinking in all my 9mm stuff.
Did it have problems with HP, or did you not shoot enough to know? FMJ is what I'd use most of the time.

Overall a fun gun to shoot. The folding carbine is not exactly a high-demand item; might be a hot thing for protection details, but overall it's more of a toy than a practical item.
Fun at the range is the primary use. Thanks for the info.
