Tandemkross is a company that specializes in aftermarket firearms accessories. This is their V2 of the Sub2000 metal replacement sight.

They have tried to make this to allow a small amount of windage adjustment. Unfortunately, the small 3/32" setscrew does not get enough bite into the aluminum sight lever rod to be stable.

Looking for any suggestions for improvement / modification ideas? :confused:

Keep in mind that the sight lays flat when the stock is folded over :scrutiny:

Linear Compensator

Finally got around to removing the thread protector on the Sub2000.
Comes off after a little heat from a small propane torch using a 5/8" socket.

Replaced the thread protector nut with a knurled protector @ ½" X 28 ;)
Just waiting for the linear compensator from Kaw Valley Precision to arrive in the mail.

Range report results to follow. :)
 
I had a Gen 1 back in `02 and had to sell it because I needed the money. I really like the Gen 2's and might have to have one. Might have to wait for the version that's compatible with Beretta 92 mags.

Lots of folks waiting for the "other than Glock" versions. I hear they're coming, but I don't know when.
I'm impressed with the Gen 2 so far. Check it out ~ you might like it ;)

I don't know if this is accurate, but it was a recent post from another board.

"I called them and they put me on a call list. Thought it was BS but a couple weeks ago my phone rang. To my surprise it was my turn to pick up a 2nd gen 9mm for $399. Very pleasant transaction. Ken was the fella that took care of me. If you call there tell him Stu sent ya. Good luck on your purchase."

But with the overnight thunderstorm that blew through, the heat went with it. ;)

Got to the range today to dial-in the red-dot & test the KVP compensator.

Seems like the subbie likes BE-86 from 25-yards unsupported.
Report down-range was pleasant ~ no ear muffs, just soft-plugs.
Nice to see the group moving towards the bulls-eye. :eek:
(Good to see my miss high-right instead of the usual low-left)

I've tried several ways to get this sight to work properly and failed.
My recommendation is to stay away from this after-market addition & use a reamer or drill bit to slightly enlarge the zytel stock peep sight for a better sight picture & visibility.

While I'm waiting for Berry's to start selling the new 9mm HHP, I started a work-up with the .356 125gr JHP's from Zero.
Testing began with my G-19 @ 7 yards unsupported. This +P load range utilized the expanded published data from the Western Powders website.
5.4gr of Silhouette seemed to be an acceptable :fire: charge; will test soon in the Gen 2 S2K.

Thankfully, a late-day heavy rainstorm knocked-down the oppressive heat ;)

Slogged over to the range this evening to try the :fire: +P's

As the carbine was canted to use the offset-mounted red-dot, the brass was ejected about 7-8' to starboard.
Plenty of punch from this load ~ the Gen 2 S2K likes them & so do I :evil:
 
I've oft thought of a Sub2k to carry in the car on road trips.

Same mags as my G19 Gen 4, but with greater accuracy and stopping power.

I called CDNN Sports today and the CSR said they have a waiting list for the GEN 2 Sub2000.
Price is $399.99 & they will call you when it's available. It's a lot cheaper than the scalpers on GB :)

While waiting for the HHP's to become available, I broke-out some Xtreme 165gr 9mm loads left from a previous test with another carbine.

This load grouped well low-to-starboard with 33 rounds ~ rapid fire :eek:
No function issues with the Gen 2 Sub2000 using this ammo :cool:

...Any Idea what the velocity on those 165 grain bullets out of the KT Carbine were?...
Click to expand...

I don't have a chrono kBob, so I can't say for sure.
Other postings have this round @ approx. 920 fps, but don't hold me to that.
I've also ran them thru my G19 & Hi-Point 995 TS with good results.
I likum' heavy boolits :cool:

YMMV :)
