NR versions go for around $2000.
Have you tried any other pistol cal sub guns that you can compare it to?
Vector
I have tried the vector and it is a nice rig in the 5.5", I am not a fan of the Non -restricted as I find the barrel ruins the guns balance. The vector I tried was running an Eo-tech and it was very accurate under 50 yards. It does shoot well and its surprising to see how well it manages the .45. My only negative impressions are that the ergonomics and controls are not ideal for a platform that was supposed to be the ultimate CQB. If running the FG, you need to break your grip to drop a mag, I am not a fan of the bolt release either and the safety is meh.
The irons that were on the one I tried were much better than most other pistol cal subs, and are detachable. The folding stock has some adjustability which makes it a bit better than some of the other options.
Pros: 10 rounds of 45 acp, pictany rail give many options, ambi controls, low recoil and state of the art, balance, available in NON RESTRICTED, glock mags are readily available and the KCI 30 rounders look cool and are affordable.
Cons: Price is ~$2k, controls are subjective, gritty trigger, can be picky with ammo, cost of .45 acp
(Restricted and NR)
$2000
I own/have owned several other pistol cal sub guns including BRS99/TP9/Skorpion and I have tried the sub 2000 and JR Carbines.
TP9
My opinion is that the TP9 has the best ergos of the bunch. I found the TP9 to be light, and comfortable, very eye catching and retardedly accurate. The mag release, and slide release are identical to a Glock (same with the trigger safety), I also prefer the ambi-charging handle location and design to the Vector, the TP9 is similar to an AR charging handle. Virtually no recoil, the TP9 has a trigger that has a lot of travel compared to BRS/Skorpion, but its similar to the Vector just smoother and less grit. The irons are junk, super low profile, but the copious amount of pictany rails and integrated FG are a big plus that give you a lot of options. Integrated folding stock is non adjustable but does the job, side folding, it doesn't affect shooting the firearm folded, nor does it affect controls.
Pros: accessory options, weight, ergos, ambi controls, several color options (black, tan, olive), 9mm cheap to shoot (can handle ball ammo and +P), military pedigree
Cons: proprietary plastic 5 round mags, price, fixed stock (subjective), super low cheek weld, (subjective)
(Restricted)
Price: $2000
M84
Skorpion has horrible ergos but it has a sweet trigger, almost zero recoil and it is a lot of fun to shoot. I find the .32 Auto is very accurate but underpowered, no muzzle flip, but the brass ejecting over your head with a wizzzzzzzzzz can be distracting, if you shoot inside the brass often rains down on you. The charging handle is a pain as it cycles when firing and affects your grip options. The skorpion is by far the most compact out of all pistol cal subs. My biggest complaint is the horrible iron sights, and the lack of pictany rail for mounting a red dot.
Pros: cool factor, low recoil, historical significance/military pedigree, size and weight, accuracy, trigger, 32 auto just to piss off Alan Rock
cons: Ergos, lack of rail for optics, ammo availability, 5 rounds mags and wont seat on a closed bolt, (proprietary steel mags are tightly pinned)
(restricted only)
Price: $1,000
BRS99
BRS99, its been a while since I fired one but I do remember the trigger being fantastic. The gun was very controllable and accurate mainly due to the crisp trigger. The controls are well laid out, with a nice pistol style mag release and I like the safety. The charging handle was ok, but not ambi. The stock was adjustable sliding into the gun in a handy setup. The one I tried had a after market pictany rail installed up top which requires gun smiting and milling. I have heard newer models now have the option of a pictany rail from the factory though which is a plus.
Pros: trigger and controls! look cool factor and lineage, Non restricted option... quick barrel change
Cons: 5 round mags, non ambi controls,
(non Restricted and restricted options)
Price: $1,600
JR Carbine
Takes glock mags and AR furniture with plenty of rail space for accessories. The non restricted status and the factory setup with multiple calibers make this a really appealing option, and at the $800 price point it is hard to beat with the quality of the build. I only tried
Pros: Price, quality, takes AR stocks and some other parts, Non restricted, glock mags, pictany rail and lots of space for mounting options, multiple calibers, adjustable stock
Cons: looks (subjective), lacks the military pedigree and cool factor of others, ???
Non-Restricted
Price ~$800
Sub 2000
cheapest of the bunch at $600, this interesting rig is available in two mag options IIRC (Sig, beretta or Glock). While feeling cheeply made, it is what it is, a low cost survival gun with 10 round pistol mags at its disposal. The gun is a bit cheap feeling, but it shoots ok and you can install a rail for optics and accessories. The folding aspect, is great for a portable truck gun or camp gun. I didn't mind the controls, but the trigger is junk, overall it feels like a cheap toy and does not have the build quality or reputation that the other guns mentioned do... however, this also costs 1/4 of what they do. Another important point... it is available in multiple calibers.
Pros: low cost, multiple mag options (glock/sig/beretta), non restricted, lots of rail space with quad rail model, folds in half to be more compact, stock irons are fugly but surprisingly functional, multi cal
Cons: cheap feeling, quality is not on par with others, trigger sucks,
Non restricted
Price: $600
