    KSG is on my list to acquire. Thanks for the link!

      I liked the method that he showed how to load the KSG ... used strong hand, and tilted the KSG to the angle that he demonstrated.

      The KSG takes some practices and trainings to get used to..... but it has its place once we get used to (and get good at) it.

              Have they fixed the glitches with the KSG?

              The parts that use to break?

              Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

              Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

                  Had a KSG and the cool factor wore off for me after awhile. A lot of the "upgrades" for this shotgun are pretty tacky too. I mods I did find useful were the extended tube selector. Would be nice if the full size KSG came with integrated handstops on the pump, and at least some basic sights.

                  Only reason to keep a KSG in my mind, is exclusive use of the Aguila Mini Shells.

                    KSG also fits in smallish gym bags.... It has its purpose and hard to deny having that much firepower on tap in such a compact package. Recoil is similar to a M44.... It's not for everyone.

                      I almost bought the KSG. But the reputation for reliability and the rep for harsh recoil held me back. Got this instead and it's been a very good gun and will hold 23 mini shells also.
                      To me, with normal SD #4 Buck and birdshot loads, the recoil is negligible. The Mini Shells are even more powder puff, but are still overpriced and hard to find.

                        The best way to run the KSG is straight into the trash can, where it belongs, with all the other dog crap scraped up off lawns in public parks.

                          FAR, FAR, FARRRRRRRRRR, AWAAAAAaaay.

                          Everytime one of the usual guy show up with his new and improved, sure to cycle, been back to KalTech for the latest update, ready to run 100% KSG, he spends half of the day dicking with trying to load/cycle it or trying to unjam it.

                            My neighbor bought one. We took it to the range, and he proudly handed it over to me. Plastic POS jam-o-matic. He couldn't get it to run reliably, either.

                            I'll stick with my plain-jane 870. Don't need specific training, handling, or even much practice to get it sending lead flying down range.

                              These are the sorts of feedback that also played a factor in me not buying a KSG. I heard a lot of this from several gun guys I know.
