Kel Tec Shotgun

[Anchors]

That fore-end looks to be a handfull and a half for people with average sized hands. Also with the smooth sides on that fore-end is there a chance that someones hand could slip as they racked forward and end up in front of the muzzle?? The addition of the fore-grip seemed to help. I really like the gun and will wait to see what the "street price" settles in at and any final modifications before I decide to jump.

edit: looking the the exploded pic posted above by yf19ex, I noticed the "checkering" on the fore-end

I love his reaction to the magnum shell in the last five seconds haha.

I will be very surprised if that goes to market without some kind of flange at the front of the forend to keep the weak hand from slipping in front of the muzzle.

With something this light - I hope someone considers adding a recoil-reducing mechanism to the stock. You can see the pain in the guy's face after shooting the magnum shell (the 'ouch' didn't help either). Otherwise - looks very cool.

We designed our latest stock around an existing Limbsaver pad. Kel-Tec should do the same before this goes to market so they can offer the Limbsaver as an option.

What I was thinking. I still want one though!!!

I don't think in over 11000 shots with any of my shotguns has my hand slipped forward of the grip, but there are a lot of really dumb things you can do with a shotgun - so I suppose it's possible

I love the concept, but the bullpup just looks awkward in that video.

Do you have a 14" or 12" barrel on any of your shotguns?

Remington supplies a special forend with their MCS system that includes a flange to keep the weak hand away from the muzzle. Mossberg's solution to the same problem is a web strap on the forend.

In the unlikely event your hand should slip forward of the grip on a conventional shotgun, it's no big deal. But on a short barreled shotgun or with this Kel-Tec, you could lose your hand.

It's about simple things that mitigate risks.

With a regular shotgun a slip of the hand, however rare, would still leave your hand way behind the muzzle. With the KSG a slip, again rare, could have some serious consequences.

Although not a perfect analogy here's an example of hand muzzle proximity danger with a Glock


I have an AOW and everytime I fire that thing I'm thinking "FRICKING A my hand is only inches from that fricking fireball!!"

Anyone notice the muzzle flash from the magnum round is about 25 x greater than the standard round? It's a big difference.

I was able to capture a screen shot of it. Pretty decent muzzle flash.

Oh that is sexy. ummm, brb

Kel-Tec has been very specific that the center position of the selector prevents both magazine tubes from feeding, to allow for easy emptying of the chamber. The selector does not have the same function as the Neostead, so the two-magazines-as-one theory doesn't look to hold water.

It's also pretty clear that Kel-Tec caters to California as much as they can and in designing this, I wouldn't doubt they specifically avoided making the selector work as the Neostead so we can buy them here. At least it wouldn't put it past me. California is a LARGE market.

Psssniper, that's an auto glock, and getting shot in the hand was due to not being able to control the recoil.
Id be concerned if this shotgun was full auto like an aa12, but being a pump action... if your hand slips forward on the forend, simply don't pull the trigger! Lol

Keltec has already stated the reason for the mag slector was to be as ca compliant as possible.
If doj wants to interprent these obviously seperate mags as a single mag, then keltec simply needs to offer a plug... and wed still have a 10round shotgun at 26 inches, something previously impossible in ca

And I'll say again... I really, really want one of these.


Hey look it's Chuck Norris Jr with a KSG!
