I have a Marlin Camp Carbine that uses the S&W 59 mags. I would like a
Sub2K that takes same mags which has a model #SUB-2K9BSW59

I know all are hard to find, but is the SW59 version still made?

Anyone have one out there to sell?

And....can one of the other versions handle the SW59 or be modified?

It is my understanding that any non-glock version can have the mag catch changed to any other mag type. There is more info about this in the FAQ section.

I don't believe that Kel-Tec sells a gen2 in that configuration but sometimes a new or like-new gen1 can pop up on slickguns/wikiarms/gunbroker. I recently bought a gen2 M&P version and changed it easily to S&W 59 configuration with this mag catch kit from Kel-Tec:

Thank you...so as long as a get anything but GLOCK version, I can use the kit?

Yep, Kel-Tec says:

The SUB-2000 is available in the following variants:
Smith & Wesson M&P (9mm or .40cal)
Sig Sauer P226 (9mm or .40cal)
Beretta 92 & 96
Glock 17, 19, 22 & 23

So an M&P, P226, or Beretta 92 version (all 9mm of course) should be able to use the 59 mag catch. They even send you two extra screws (in case you mangled the original ones I guess?) and a tiny allen wrench. I'm thankful that even though they discontinued offering a 59-specific model of Gen2, they still sell the conversion piece for it.

Here's a close-up of my Gen2 in its stock M&P form and with the 59 part installed:

Thank you ...a definitive answer on a forum!!!! It does happen

You're very welcome. Kel-Tec's site has some good CAD drawings showing the different mag catches:

M&P:

59:

Also, here's a pic of my own Marlin Camp 9 with my Sub2000 that now eats the same food.

So, I suppose the opposite is also true? Any Gen 1 non-glock SUB2k can be converted to use M&P Mags? That ought to save some forumites some trouble of getting the elusive M&P Version!

Good question that no one has tried. I know a member did try a M&P magazine in on of his S&W 59 Gen 1 Subs but he said it would not work. I don't remember the reason why though. Again, Kel-tec would be the better source to check for now.

I bought my Gen 1 as a Baretta type and got the S&W adapter. Now my mags swap between my SUB200, P-11 and original S&W Model 59.

 

[wolfsburg_de]

Nice! I share mags between my S2K, Marlin Camp 9, and S&W 910:

This would be nice to know!

So KTOGers, who has a non Glock gen 1 S2K, and has a M&P mag to see if it fits in the magwell?

rjhauser tried one a few years ago and said it was a no-go.
