Kel technology ksg...pros/cons

[jhelm]

Picked up a kel technology ksg the other day...shot approximately 50 double 00 buck with no problem. I did notice how hard the recoil hits. Anyone else have any positive or negative on the ksg?

I wanted one until KelTec jacked their prices way up during the last political scare after Sandy Hook. Then they became a company I will not do business with.

I may be wrong, but I believe the price hike was lgs's and not Kel-Tec's fault. Never seen a price hike from Kel-Tec itself for no reason.

Most likely lgs price hike as many did with the sub 2000...Only place I found a reasonable price was at Bradis.

I have one that for now I just have as a range toy. I've had no problems with mine, but some people experience problems feeding some types of ammo. Usually a good hone of the chamber clears this up as some come a bit rough from the factory. Cons would be that it requires some getting used to like switching between mags tubes. Reloads are not easy at least not for me. I would have to do a lot of practice to get confident enough on how to run the gun to use it as a serious defense weapon. I run an EoTech on mine and had to get a small riser to bring the dot up to a comfortable height. Other than that it is fun to go blast at the range.

Pro- it's a cool looking dual tube fed shotgon.
Con- it's kel-tec

Nope, KelTec did it. While the scarce supply did make many LGS jack their prices, KelTec posted on their website about them raising their prices "because they may not be able to recoup their investment due to the possibility of bans" which was really just them profiting on the scarcity the LGS were. There was about a six month period where everyone wanted one and were willing to pay double what they were pre Sandy Hook. Which puts them in the same category as CTD in my opinion, and a company I won't do business with.
