TAM, you make some good points about the MI optic and QD mounts. I look forward to a range report about your experience with the MI optic mount. I agree the QD mount does not have a good return to zero but hopefully it will hold zero good enough for targets out to 50 yards. I still need to go to the range and test removing and remounting my red dot to see how bad it will be.
My first trip to the range to sight in the Sub-2000 was frustrating because the POI kept moving around with respect to the sights. On my second trip to the range I discovered the screw on the front sight being loose. Once I tightened up that screw it was easy to sight in and the POI and sight alignment held.
The Sub-2000 shoots very well and is accurate. I now have over 500 rounds through my rifle without a signal malfunction. I'm very happy with it.

Re: Sub2k Sub2000 folding concealed rifle
If your Kel-Tec Sub-2000 Gen 2 is shooting low even though you have the front sight bottomed out here is most likely the cause and how to fix it.
In the Kel-Tec Sub-2000 Gen 2 manual on page 11 for Sight Adjustment, you need to tighten the screw that is labeled "Notice: Do not tamper with or loosen this screw" shown in the image at the top of the page. It's the red screw shown in the images at the bottom of page 11.
On my Sub-2000, this screw was very loose and after tightening it I was finally able to get the elevation properly adjust and get the rifle sighted in.
The manual still shows the older Sub-2000 Gen 2 sight that uses a set screw. The updated front sight now uses a jam/locking nut to hold the sight in place.

Re: Sub2k Sub2000 folding concealed rifle
Hi TAM,
How well does the MI optic mount hold zero? I've read some reports that some folks were having issues with the mount holding zero. I was going to go with a QD mount and just remove the optic before folding up the rifle.
From your pictures, it looks like you got one of the updated Gen 2's that has the updated front sight design that uses a jam/lock nut to hold the sight. The previous design used a set-screw that simply did not hold the front sight well enough. Kel-Tec is still in the process of updating their website to show the updated Gen 2 sight but some pictures of the set-screw version still exist.
The updated Gen 2 front sight that uses the jam/lock nut also addresses the suppressor alignment issue that resulted in baffle strikes.
I'm glade Kel-Tec keeps improving the Sub-2000 Gen 2 to address issues.
Does your Sub-2000 have a trigger with sharp edges? I know Kel-Tec was also working on that issue but I have not heard if the fix made it into production yet.
