I was doing some online window shopping for a new shotgun and found this. I THINK I'M IN LOVE!!!! However is like to know if anyone on here owns or has shot one and what they think about it.
For anyone who hasn't seen it...here is a link
KEL-TEC KSG 12 Gauge Shotgun, 18.5" Cyl. Bore Barrel, 15 Rd 2.75", 13 Rd 3" - TheGunSource
I never shot one, but would like to hear if anyone has first hand with it also. Interesting but not for me. I like my Saiga 12
I handled one today at the LGS. It was much shorter than I envisioned. Its got an 18 inch barrel, but with the bull pup design its actually pretty handy. I like the slide switch that is right at the front of the trigger guard which makes it easy to cycle the gun.
Pointability was excellent and very quick. It has a Picatinny rail so that you can mount an optic if you want or even a set of sights. I'm thinking that one of the newer Eotech XPS2 would be a natural for this.
Because it is short and handy, it would make an excellent truck gun and for that matter a great gun to carry if you were backpacking.
The switch that switches magazine tubes is easy to manipulate, but you must turn the gun over to use it. I wish they would have figured out a way to be able to make it more ergonomic so that it could be used instantly, then one could instantly switch from buck to slugs or vice versa.
I think its a serious contender for the home defense uses. It short enough to not be a hindrance when clearing corners and although the mag capacity should never be needed in a home defense scenario, 15 rounds of anything is going to be tough to deal with.
I can see me owning one.
I handled one the other day, when a customer brought his in. Felt good and functional.
Thanks a lot! I'm pretty sure this will be my next purchase!
Doesn't Sixto have one of these?
Sixto "HAD" one,IIRC he wasn't that impressed with it,felt like it wasn't that well made and I think he sold it for a little profit.I think we need to remember that what one person may feel is a decent gun somebody else may not,it also depends on the kind of use a weapon will get from each userQuote:

The two major LGSs in my area can't keep any in stock for me to get a look at; as soon as they come in, they are gone!
He's cool, but he is more than a little biased when it comes to keltec.Quote:

I think it had more potential if it had been initiated by a company other then KT.
Pass.
But would it be possible to put your own rails on after u purchase it?Quote:

Let us know how that goes.
