(HNP) Kel-Tec Pumps it up with 15-round 12-gauge

APB · 10-11-11, 10:26 AM

Kel-Tec continues their tradition of impressive and innovative weapons with the introduction of the KSG, a bullpup-style 12-gauge pump that measures just 26.1 inches overall, with a fully legal 18.5-inch barrel.

Two cylinder tubes, each with seven rounds of 2 ¾" 12-gauge, sit under the barrel, and with one in the breech, you can bring a total of 15 rounds to the party. Weight empty is 6.9 lbs; fully loaded you'll be carrying 8.5 lbs. The light weight is sue in part to the grip and stock assembly being made of glass-reinforced nylon.

The operator can select which magazine tube to feed from, allowing different munitions to be carried and deployed, for example, one magazine with slugs, the other with buckshot or tactical munitions.

A picatinny rail on top is provided for sights and the picatinny rail on the pump will take forward grip, tactical light or laser sight.

Spent rounds eject downward, so no worries about being a lefhander. The KSG comes with sling and a soft rubber butt pad. Field stripping is simple, and requires no tools other than a coin to unscrew the barrel and pump assembly.

Expect to see this shotgun available for $880 MSRP. Learn more at Kel Tec CNC

I saw this on their website a few months ago. If the price is in the Remington 870 range, I will be buying it. If its over $600, probly not.And seeing is they are expecting to sell for $880 that is a problem. For that or a bit more $$$ it would have been nice to see it in a bullpup configuration in semi auto with a detachable mag, similar to their RFB rifle... shown here http://www.keltecweapons.com/our-guns/rifles/rfb/

I wonder if there will be a LEO discount like there is for other weapons. I am a kel-tec fan (own and love my PF-9) and like the stuff they are making, very inovative, just coming up the cash is the tough part.

I want one bad enough to trade in my tricked out 870 for it.

I want one but I don't want to pay what they are asking. No go.

I'd love a magazine tube loaded with slugs and another with shot.

I've been tracking this for a while. I'm impressed so far but haven't found anyone that has tested it yet. I am very interested but, as everyone else, I'm not impressed in the price either.

I think they need to send me one to T&E

they introduced this at SHOT last year. I've not heard a delivery date as of yet and none of the wholesalers have them that i've seen. Would love to try one! If you're looking for something alittle higher quality, Penn Arms has a shotgun that you may be interested in.
