This may be a dumb question, but I have a gen 1 sub 2000 that takes S&W 9mm magazines. Is there any way to change it to take glock 17 instead?

No.

A Glock model is always a Glock...the grip angle is way off to be anything else. Reverse it and a S&W can never be a Glock model...grip angle is everything.

Check these pics for grip angle:

I see that makes sense. Do you know what S&W models take the same mag?
I would like to have a matching sub 2000 and pistol. I am pretty sure the m&p guns are different.

We have a very good FAQ thread posted at the top of the Sub2000 forum...it can answer just about any question you may have about the rifles.

Not positive...but this thread may answer your question: http://www.thektog.org/forum/f85/pistol-not-mag-compatibility-list-246180/

You're looking for a 5906 Series S&W that will fit the 1st Gen Sub. But some of the newer magazines may require you to sand a little off the bottom of the grip of the Sub. They changed to a different floor plate on the later magazines. You could of course change the magazine catch to take Beretta 92 or SIG 226 magazines and get one of those for a handgun. It's about $12 in parts at the Kel-tec store.

I think your best bet would be buying a P226

Someone posted in another thread that the Gen 2 subbie can take M&P mags and for a 12 dollar catch replacement, it could take 59 series mags. What i got from the thread is that the M&P mags are a little wider than the 59 series mags.

Thanks for the info. I need to figure out something. I guess I will have to keep an eye out for a Glock 17 sub 2000 and sell mine.

The KelTec P-11 pistol also uses S&W 59 series mags. A few years back the S&W 59 was one of the most desireable "Wonder 9" pistols. My Marlin Camp Carbine uses the S&W 59 series mags.

Your Gen 1 can be adapted for the 59 series as well as Beretta 92 and Sig 226 mags. With a Gen 2 you can buy a new grip and make your rifle a Glock if you have the MuliMag model.

And the Gen 2 opening is a little wider to allow it to accept S&W M&P mags.

Nice! I did not know about the P-11. May have to look into that gun.
I use to have a pf-9 but jammed all the time so got rid of it.
