Sling attachment guidance for the KelTec SUB2000. Check your exact configuration and both connectors before choosing the McLean Dynamic Retention Sling (DRS). Factory attachment points do not by themselves confirm a direct fit.
Front attachment
Forend M-LOK slot or Picatinny rail — aftermarket attachment option.
KelTec’s Gen 2 and Gen 3 manuals describe a polymer forend with integrated Picatinny-style rails and five M-LOK slots per side. Neither manual identifies a dedicated front sling point. A sling mount must be added to a slot or rail, and it must not obstruct folding the carbine.
Aftermarket attachment option: a webbing slot is not a QD cup or proof that a hook fits. Confirm the connector and webbing dimensions for this opening.
Rear attachment
Stock single point sling loop and webbing slot — factory attachment point.
Both manuals state that the stock includes a single point sling loop attachment and a slot for adding a nylon sling loop, with 1.25 inch webbing given as the intended width. The Gen 2 manual also notes a small Picatinny-style rail under the stock. Compare your webbing width with that slot.
Factory attachment point: a webbing slot is not a QD cup or proof that a hook fits. Confirm the connector and webbing dimensions for this opening.
Why this sling on the KelTec SUB2000
A PCC is short and light, which makes it easy to carry badly — slung loose it swings into everything. Competition and home-defence use both want it locked flat to the body between stages, then instantly free.
The McLean design is a two-point sling with a patented retention system: it cinches tight to hold the carbine against your body hands-free, then releases into a ready position in one pull. It ships in one size and adjusts, so there is no length to choose.
Fitting it
- Clear the carbine. Unload and clear it following the firearm manufacturer’s instructions before fitting any accessories.
- Front: confirm a compatible connector and follow the sling and attachment manufacturer instructions.
- Rear: confirm the matching connector for your stock or rear attachment; do not assume a slot, stud and QD cup are interchangeable.
- Adjust wearing your kit. A setting dialled in without a vest comes up short once it is on.
- Check the transition. It should shoulder without pulling tight across your chest.
Choosing hardware for your configuration
The Gen 2 and Gen 3 differ mainly at the front: on the Gen 3 the forend rotates around the bore so a mounted optic clears when the carbine folds. Any front sling mount must leave that rotation and the folding latch free. The stock sling provisions are described the same way in both manuals.
The first-generation SUB2000 has a different forend and was not checked for this guide. A single point loop, a webbing slot, an M-LOK slot and a QD cup are different connections, so match each connector to the fitting it will actually use.
Questions
Does the McLean Dynamic Retention Sling (DRS) fit the KelTec SUB2000?
Compatibility depends on the exact configuration and connectors. Confirm both attachment points and the connector fit before ordering. A factory attachment point does not by itself confirm a direct fit for the McLean sling.
Do I need a snap hook for the front of my KelTec SUB2000?
The McLean sling already carries a front hook. Choose a compatible attachment loop or swivel for that hook, and confirm its clearance and closure on your exact setup before buying additional hardware.
What do I need to buy for the KelTec SUB2000?
Front: Aftermarket attachment option: a webbing slot is not a QD cup or proof that a hook fits. Confirm the connector and webbing dimensions for this opening. Rear: Factory attachment point: a webbing slot is not a QD cup or proof that a hook fits. Confirm the connector and webbing dimensions for this opening.
What length sling do I need for the KelTec SUB2000?
There is no length to choose. The sling ships in one size and adjusts, so the same sling covers carry and cinched retention. Set it wearing the kit you actually carry in — a setting dialled in without a vest or heavy coat comes up short once it is on.
