Shooting the Kel-Tec Sub2000 Gen 2 with Midwest Industries, Inc. optic mount in USPSA Pistol Caliber Carbine Division.

The video shows stages 1-4. But I started stage 3 then shot stage 4. The optic mount vibrated loose on stage 4. I tightened it and rezeroed before shooting stage 1 and 2.

Awesome!

Can you also mount a camera to the gun and publish a split screen video?

I hope MI comments on the trouble you encountered.

I could but what would be the point?

Anyway I have already emailed my contact at MI to let him know. I am not worried about about it. I am just waiting on confirmation if I can use red loctite on the pivot screw. When tightened down, there is still play to swivel the optic.

The point; so the viewer can better see the target the shooter is aiming at.

Probably would be a higher detriment to him, since he is competing.

I would try some blue Loc-tite first. That screw shouldn't be exposed to any heat and blue is considered plenty strong for simple anti-vibration use. Red on that small a fastener may mean sacrificing the screw if you ever need to take the mount apart. Looks good. Fast times. I haven't competed for years and I was never that fast between shots.

I did use the Space ModulatOr after everybody had already finished for the day in my last year competing. It was really fun to run a stage that way. Enough so that several other competitors tried it out after they watched me do it. But we were running strictly handgun stuff back then.

It is rather obvious to me. Just look at the direction the gun is pointed.

I started shooting USPSA when I was in NY waiting for my pistol permit. I shot it with my KRISS Vector carbine. I wasnt very good with handgun but I was ok with carbine. Now that I have been shooting a bit in he past 4 years, I am ok.

Now that USPSA has a Pistol Carbine division I have been trying out different pistol carbines. I even ran my Sterling MK4 carbine.

Then you clearly don't get the point.

Anyway, nice shooting & I hope you get the issues with the mount resolved.

Then please explain. With how my GoPro is set, you can see the target and the gun. I don't see how mounting another camera will help unless you mean a closer view of the target.

Results are in. I placed 8th out of 84 entries which includes some reshoots. I only shot it once.

Stage 5 which was immediately after me retightening the MI mount. I did not get a chance to rezero or even check my zero. Shots were low. But I managed to place 2nd overall on that classifier.

Awesome job! Hopefully getting more used to the mount means higher scores for you in the future.
