The ergos on these are wonky. If you workout and put too much lateral force on the barrel while shooting, its possible to break open as the bolt is cycling at the rear. have had that happen a few times. Having 2 mags in the stock is also wonky, and the stock is too wide. You can spend money on aftermarket upgrades to change the stock and buffer spring. After having one of these for a while and shooting it at competition and training and such, I would have rather gone with an AR pattern pcc that takes smith mags. Smith even makes one. It just doesn't fold. So really the use case for this is if you need a foldy PCC. I just don't see it. Thinking of replacing mine with an AR pistol in 9mm that takes smith mags, which would probably be shorter, lighter, and have AR ergos.

Frankly if you need a foldy boi I'd either go with a Gen 1 or Gen 3 Sub2k over this depending on whether you need a red dot or not, or the Ruger if you can live with the extra weight and bulk. These things are just somehow more awkward than the Keltec, bigger and heavier in all dimensions especially folded, and they take mags you don't already have 50 of.
This one seemed like a miss to me but their knockoff of the KSG seemed alright, but I haven't been able to compare how those field strip or other small details like that.

FM Mike FM9 is another option if you prefer the AR ergos. I’ve not got any first hand experience with it, but it looks interesting.

See honey, another reason not go to the gym!

I wish there was one of these that took glock mags. no the flimsy plastic keltec doesn't count.
barrydingle100@reddit
The flimsy Keltec is two pounds lighter, smaller in every dimension folded or unfolded, and is still plenty durable enough for a takedown camp carbine. The Gen 2 is the shittiest of all of them and mine has held up for a decade just fine.
varealestateguy@reddit
Ruger PC Carbine may the closest option that takes Glock mags. Unfortunately, it’s a take down model and not a folding design. The Ruger is reliable though. It’s not a bad option with the Magpul backpacker stock.
the_matthew@reddit (OP)
There's the non-folding S&W Response that can be configured to accept M&P, Glock, and even Sig mags I believe out of the box.
I'd probably look at an Extar over that though, and I'm an S&W guy. I just don't know what niche the Response fills.
_axaxaxax@reddit
Something not at all like this or something else not at all like this aren't really valid alternatives now are they.
the_matthew@reddit (OP)
Yeah, it would be pretty awesome to have a folding FPC that offers the same magazine compatibility that the Response does.
We can dream!

I’m about 2k rounds into mine without a single hiccup
scottawhit@reddit
I bought one in September at 550. Shot it once, bolt pins kept falling out, been back at SW ever since. Should have just waited, or got an extar.
Sanandaji@reddit
This is the way!
woodlandwhite@reddit
Where are some good places to get these online? I just checked DeLeon, Dahlonega, Palmetto State, Sportsman's Fulfillment, and Atlantic Firearms and none of them had anything from Extar. When I Googlged "buy an Extar," Gunbroker was the only one I really saw.
roberttatefan@reddit
Direct from them.

S&W: Yo KelTec, can I copy your homework?
KelTwc: Yeah just change it around a little so it doesn't look the same.
S&W: No.
Cobra__Commander@reddit
Where's my S&W RDB?
DugnutttBobson@reddit
Anyone know if there might be that free optics rebate for these in the future? I know people who missed that deal who are waiting for it to come back. 475 is really good, just not quite right for them..
TheFlyingTortellini@reddit
I'd rather have the Kel Tec.
SetStrict7455@reddit
Dunham's Black Friday price for this for $474.99 after rebate.
toocacked@reddit
I’d never even heard of rural king before being a west coaster. Not sure how crazy of a deal this is, but I guess I’m missing this one lol
knoxknifebroker@reddit
It’s like tractor supply but better
GoldfishDude@reddit
You are missing out. Free popcorn, coffee, and you can buy anything from a gun, to a live chicken, to a tractor to living room furniture.
Thisfoxtalks@reddit
Do these run hollow points without issue?
Fluxxed@reddit
Damn… If only we had Rural Kings around us. Good deal! Been wanting one.
WearyWeasel@reddit
Shoot I’ve been waiting for one of these for a long time and I have a rural king close by… I don’t see anyone dropping these back to $499 before rebate, this might be the best it gets for now?
Desperate_Exercise13@reddit
$539.99 before tax and shipping.
the_matthew@reddit (OP)
