The biggest update is the rotating forend that comes standard on every SUB2000 GEN3. Mounted optics and accessories now easily rotate out of the way for folding. Getting back in action is easy with a simple, singlehanded maneuver that maintains a seamless, quick deployment. No need for additional accessories.

...

The action of the SUB2000 now features a redesigned operating handle for added comfort, a lightened action for easy

racking, and an ambidextrous bolt hold-open. 

All additions provide for improved "weapons manipulation." 

This is HUGE. It also has an improved trigger and charging handle. MSRP $500.

Would be interesting to see how this reviews. It really improves the value of the carbine and makes aftermarket upgrades far less needed.

I figured Gen 3 was coming out when I saw the Gen 2's were heavily rebated.

Will definitely check it out at SHOT Show this year.

I have been very happy with the 9mm Ruger backpacker, tac driver and doesn’t loose zero.

Shot nice.  I think I'm going to get a Gen 3 eventually.  Right now they're only G19 size - the grip is short.  Otherwise, the improvements are nice.

I saw that recently, and loved the improvements. I had been looking at the S&W FPC, which clearly pointed out a deficiency of the Sub 2000, but I think I’ll probably end up getting this Gen. 3 instead.

Has anyone gotten one of these?  If so, what optic did you get with it?  I'm seriously thinking about getting one to keep in my car in Florida.
