He simply asked "What do you think"...

Where did op request that no one comment on the price?

Very profound observation. Well done

[menomanuel]

Yep .
It is what it is.

Watched a guy shooting one at Bullseye San Raphael, So awesome watching that thing destroy targets!

To hell with the price its an awesome toy, Congrats!

ITs really not envy, I could care less what he blows his money on. Its the fact that hype works even when people know what the msrp is suppose to be.


I cant stand stuff that gets hyped up and price driven through the roof.
.

People pay "hyped" prices for rare items. Its called the real world

[Lugiahua]

I am sure people bashing OP because it's a Kel-Tec...
there might be much less bashing if he was paying for a rare 1911.

[04slogoat]

Congrats OP. I want one!!!!!!!!

[IrishPirate]

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

this just makes me want one SOOO much more!!!!!

I'm holding off tactifying my 500 for HD because i want to use the money to buy a KSG which would pretty much make the 500 obsolete for HD and let me keep my 500 in hunting configuration.

er... that legal to do?

yup, perfectly legal!!!



OP, good for you for doing what you want and spending your money the way YOU want to. Screw all the nay-sayers that think they are superior to you because they claim they wouldn't spend double the MSRP for your gun....I'm sure they have way over priced toys that you and I would find completely ridiculous. The internet is full of hypocrites

[MakeYaBootyBurn]

Thanks awesome man! Happy for you! Looks good!

[darqhelmet]

Congrats OP. Thanks for the range report, please keep us posted on how it runs as the round count goes up. 2 quick questions, how easy is the pump to operate and does it switch between the tubes easy?

1. Capitalism
2. Capitalism
3. It is business smart to take advantage of a market as long as you are not harming your market. Which, in this case it isn't. In fact more so this provides a soft entry into the market to keep complaints (failures due to new design) low and interest high.
4. It is ALL 3rd party Sellers that are making the killing on the KSG, not Keltec, who sells to distribution warehouses, who then sell to FFLs, who then sell it on GunBroker for a 68% markup.


All along this chain I see nothing untoward happening. I see business in action with no malign intent. Demand far outstrips supply, value increases, actual value. MSRP is irrelevant.

Are you a communist who believes that price should be dictated by a fixed value rather than the free market value?

QFT


I buy from Keltec at wholesale price, I jack up the price to my likings and sell it to you, you buy it and the guy next to you is pissed off at Kelttec that their business ethics stinks while I smile and make a living. Kind dumb to get made at KT for MY selfish greed isnt it??

The pump action is smooth and the switching between tubes was a little gritty but I realized it was grease from the factory with a bit or carbon build up but after I wiped it clean and oiled it up it was a smooth flick of a switch .

[menomanuel]

It's not greed just capitalism at its best and in the end money talks.
If we can't afford to buy guns we shouldn't be buying guns .
Guns are not in the need category but in the want category , you make sure you want it bad enough to pay up.
In the end what matters is are you happy?

People spend 1000 on wine at dinner. BFD let the dude enjoy his ****!

i heard it's supposed to switch tubes on its own once one is empty, is that true? Also, where are you located? I thought i recognized a place you mentioned in a previous post....

exactly! I got a bunch of flack recently for buying a $6000 250cc motorcycle for my first bike. Well, turns out that the bike is fantastic and i couldn't be happier with it....now people are starting to look at it as being worth it since the bike is actually much better than people thought it would be and it's flying off the show room floor everywhere and even landing in well experienced rider's garages....

Enjoy the hell out of that KSG, just remember that in a few years, you likely will only get less than half what you paid for it if you want to sell it...but that too will be your decision, and if it makes you happy, go for it!
