Kel-tec Sub 2000, in the Glock flavor

What do you think of cutting the top half off the rear sight for faster sight acquisition? I was thinking about painting it up and painting the top half of the front up. Good idea, bad idea?

I wouldn't do it personally, but if you did it and wanted to replace the sight, it's not too terribly hard to replace. If memory serves me correctly, all you would have to do is remove the screws on the receiver of the Sub, take the halves apart, and that rear sight just fits into a hole on each half. I can't imagine a replacement sight would all that expensive. I just figure that accuracy is limited on those as it is and wouldn't see any real benefit to cutting the rear sight. However, if it works for you, why not?

People have done all sorts of mods to those things. I even replaced the factory trigger with an aftermarket aluminum one I found on eBay (reinstalling that trigger spring is a real treat).

It's just a thought. When I was shooting OhShoot's I personally had a hard time getting my head down the the stock, but I think that was because of the foam cover. It wouldn't be hard to do or all that expensive so my thought process was "well why not?"

Headphones in way?

My slim line electronic ones are actually somewhat problematic, plus I hear the recoil spring action VERY clearly. Earplugs, you can get right on it. I have a number of guns that behave better with earplugs than phones.

I had on earplugs. Yours has that foam tube cover though and I think that's what did it. That was also the first time I'd shot one so maybe not being used to it had something to do with it.
