Kel tec KSG

I really want one of these.


The more I read about these guys the more Im drooling over them. And the Price is pretty sweet to. This guy just screams fun - as all Kel Tec firearms do. Anyone able to get up close to one of these yet?

Sweet Price?

May I speculate that if history can repeat itself, then another gunmaker could just come out with their own version, for $400 less? I like their stylistic interpretation. We could dub it the "Sturm und Drang."

And there is the potential wait until October for a bullpup conversion of the 870. Yes, half the ammo, but reliability of the proven action can tilt the scales of decision making.

What we can depend on is that five years from now, shotguns won't be the same in the tactical market. I doubt the KSG could sell at MSRP by then, it would have serious competition.

I just watched the video on Gunblast.com, and it looks like a fun toy.

Yeah, I get close to one every gun show, and the guy always has the same $2500 price tag on it also.

As a hunter primarily, 14 round magazine look like they'd be hard to plug to 3 rounds max.

For the police and zombiepocolypse survival, I'd take one over my SxS any day!


Can you still get a Franchi with a drum magazine these days?
