My new kel tec ksg headed to the range for testing.

Personally, I believe if people want to spend that much for it. It's cool! Just as long as you don't have a problem paying for it! Everyone needs a reason to be happy and be reminded why you work so hard for. As far as I'm concern that is...

Capitalism...

The KSG is worth what the market will bare.

[menomanuel]

Just like gasoline.

[MuddvilleHustler]

and sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

Remember when microwaves were $800.00, cell phones were close to that at a buck a minute. Short Supply vs. High Demand Price goes up. Supply matches demand and price falls in equilibrium with what the market will bare and wallha. Now we can purchase a microwave for under $50.00 and get a free cell phone for $50.00 a month with unlimited text and phone.
God I love capitalism

I thought you were "on your way" to hit the range and shoot that thing. What gives??

[menomanuel]

Ok here is what I got.
3" 00 buckshot & slugs fed with no issues
2.75" 00 buckshot & slugs fed with no issues.
This is where it gets interesting ...
2" mini shells with slugs fed with absolutely no issues and gave the ksg a 25 round capacity.
2" mini shells 00 buck shot fed with Zero malfunctions but since it only fires 5 #9 shot I noticed they spread at a larger rate than the 3 or 2 " shells.
I was expecting the session to go with at least 1 o 2 malfunctions but it performed flawlessly and very accurate.
The internals stayed very clean and all they needed was to wipe the action and I oiled it up put it back together (fairly simple thing to do).
The only thing I would suggest is practice reloading since it's a little awkward at first and it seems like you won't ever finish loading the gun.
The ksg just shrinks in your hands an feels more like a compact m4.
Overall this is one gun that I'll definitely trust for hd or just shredding paper at the range.
P.s. I got a lot of questions at the range and a few people held the thing and they were just all over it a couple of them I let them shoot a round or two asked how I got ,once I told them they said they would pay the mark up to have something like this .
I feel better hearing that since I paid that mark up.(especially after putting that many rounds without a single malfunction.)

$800 msrp

Yeah, that is what has me chuckling. I just can't see over-paying substantially just to be on the bleeding edge.

[menomanuel]

I just started getting into shotguns and man I like my 870 tactical (my first shotgun) & 590a1 (my second) but this thing is tiny and double the rounds .
I'll be getting the choke for it when they figure it out at kel tec along with the kydex cheek cover from a third party (I don't like my cheek on that metal finish ).

[CouchIsland.com]

I actually got a chance to hold one in person. It's a lot cooler than that Mossberg Bullpup and I would pay a bit north of MSRP to own one. If nothing else you can sell it before they get available and in an election year still get out what you put in.

[SoCalSon]

I personally like the shotgun a lot, but only willing to spend 1k for it. I don't mind if people are trying to make a small profit by tagging on a 20 to 30% additional charge to make a quick buck, but I can wait if I feel they are asking for too much.

2" mini shells with slugs fed with absolutely no issues and gave the ksg a 25 round capacity.

er... that legal to do?

[Zartan]

sweet!
oh,and M4

[Olav]

Looks cool and a lot of fun too.

[dan12580]

I think its a fair guess that the op diddnt use anybody elses cash to make a purchase so how about a simple congrats. He got a nearly impossible to come by gun and is happy without an ounce of buyers remorse and further hes been a good sport while all you financial planners and gun experts chime in with negative comments. Cool looking gun by the way. Not being a smart *** but is the gun "solid"? Does it rattle at all? In pictures it looks like a cool plastic gun but how is the fit and finish? Id like to pick one up at some point.

[whatpain]

so many haters on this site. really??? does it take 4 people to point out he paid more then msrp?? we all know he did and im sure he knows too. if he has the money let him have his fun. this isnt the wall street journal forum for money advice its a gun forum. i say good for you bro. and she shoots good too!!!
