There are two products on the market that allow you to mount an optic on your SUB 2000 and maintain the ability to fold it. I spent a lot of time researching both and I selected this one because it allows your firearm to occupy the same (approximate) footprint when folded. The other product positions your optic at a 45-ish degree angle when folded and, therefore, causes it to protrude. In other words, if you lie the folded gun on a table, the optic sticks up above it, keeping it from being flat and from fitting in the same form factor bag as would a laptop. No, there'd be a bulge sticking up from the protruding optic.

For THAT reason, the desire to fit the device comfortably in a carrying bag of some sort and to maintain a minimal footprint, I chose this -- and I am so glad I did.

The instructions are not great (and they don't tell me when or where to apply the included Loctite style product) they did get me to an installed red dot. The cord included to hold the charging handle back (it locks in a closed position, but it's easy to bump and release; this cord is the "safety" that keeps that handle from slamming your optic if that happens). I sighted it in and it was pretty close to being on target out of the box (a Sig Romeo 5 if you're wondering). I also find the device easy to swivel -- easier than I thought -- but it does lock up pretty well. I have read some concerns about "wiggle" and mine is minimal. This is a pistol caliber... I am not going for precision rifle accura
