Kel Tec Shotgun

Kel-Tec Shotgun (KSG) - YouTube


I was thumbing through a gun magazine at the store and saw an ad for this. I wonder what the quality will be compared to Remington and Mossberg?

If you really want to know all the in's and out's of the Kel-Tec KSG shotgun, watch the Nutnfancy video series he did on that shotgun.

He has done the most extensive field testing on that particular shotgun than anyone else I have found. One of the guys there running the gun with him is a Kel-Tec rep/gunsmith named Chad.

The gun has a few shortcomings but most of them seem to be training issues. A word of caution: At around 45 minutes for each part, these videos are lengthy and can drag out, but you won't find a more honest assessment, and see the gun get a hard workout in Nutnfancy's run-n-gun testing. He also puts it up against a traditional pump shotgun and a Saiga 12 running the same course for comparison.

Feel free to skip around within the video if all you want to see is the action shooting scenes.

Meh - 14 shells is a lot of weight to swing around, though the bullpup design helps offset that somewhat. Personally, I do not even run an extended mag tube on my pump shotgun - I prefer to keep it light and easy to swing. I started a thread a while back, asking if anyone had ever heard of anyone needing more than 1 or 2 shotgun blasts for home defense - no one seemed to. I think this is way overkill, but I'm sure it will sell like hotcakes.

I'm actually fighting the urge to go more retro - and get myself a side-by-side coach gun. Would be a nice complement to my lever gun.

I like coach guns, too... But you need the kel tec for the inevitable ZOMBIE attack... And just for the cool factor... But, I'd settle for a coach gun for the usual HD scenario. probably

I was looking to buy one untill I saw it being shot , it looks very hard to handle,reload and shoot.
I'll think I'll stick to my Mossburg 500
