After ~200 rounds of ammo through my G22 Sub2k, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with it currently.
Hate: it had constant jams on the first range trip. 2-3 times per magazine. Failure to feeds where the brass would angle into the chamber so hard that there would be smiley face cutouts on it.
After looking online, did a little felt polishing to the chamber and it made a huge difference. Instead of 2-3 jams per mag, it jammed 2-3 rounds per hundred. Still unacceptable but much better.
Took some wet/dry 1000 grit sandpaper wrapped around a pencil to the chamber opening (as others have done online) and then polished with felt bit again - that seems to have fixed it. Have hand cycled several hundred rounds through it without a hangup and will get it back out shooting here soon.
Also, the "castle nut" type thing that keeps the back of the plastic receiver on the buffer tube came off. Turns out the nut is threaded but the plastic it connects to isnt! The threads just kind of dig in to the plastic to keep it in place.
Similar complaints online so took some loctite on the nut and tap-spun it back on the plastic. Has stayed put and doesnt seem to budge with hand pressure. Hopefully that fixed it for good.
Not horrible, but the only gun I've ever had to mess with to get working correctly. Overall construction doesn't exactly scream quality to me right now
Love: pretty much everything else! It's light, accurate and really fun at the range. I have a few 9mm carbines and the .40 is a bit more fun on steel (really "thunks" it, comparatively). Also love the folding feature and magazine compatibility with my Glock.
Also, those looking for an inexpensive case - the RedHead 17" pistol case fits the folded Sub 2000 like a glove - literally like it was made for it. It also has a front pouch that you can fit mags and accessories into as well (I have 7 mags, a knife, earplugs and CLP in mine).
Only problem is that Bass Pro has discontinued it. I did find it available on ebay still, though Here
Only $14.99 shipped - I'm actually going to order another one!
