Yep, the sub-2000's are fun too. I don't have a 40, but I do have the 9mm. They have a spot too. They are fun to shoot, and less expensive to shoot than blackout for sure. I believe you should own at least one of everything once that you have an interest in. I have been fortunate enough to have about done that. Still have a couple on the list, anyone got a 1919 Browning they would like to trade off? I like the AR platform and am very familiar with it, so I may be partial to the pistol vs. the Sub. I also put my pistols together the way I wanted them. But that is why they make both, everyone likes something a little different. I say try em all, and keep the ones you like.
