Key Features
Construction & Materials
The KELTEC KSG utilizes a robust blend of materials, featuring a durable polymer receiver and furniture mated to steel internal components and an 18.5-inch barrel. This construction optimizes weight distribution and provides a resilient platform for demanding use. Its bullpup design integrates the action behind the pistol grip, mitigating overall length without compromising barrel velocity, enhancing maneuverability in confined spaces.
Magazine System
A defining characteristic of the KSG is its innovative dual-tube magazine system, providing an impressive 14+1 total capacity (7 rounds per tube plus one in the chamber). A manual selector switch positioned behind the trigger guard allows the operator to quickly transition between tubes, facilitating distinct ammunition types (e.g., buckshot and slugs) or extending sustained fire capability. This system is designed for practical utility in dynamic environments.
Ergonomics & Handling
The KSG is engineered for ambidextrous operation, featuring a centrally located, bottom-ejecting spent casing port that ensures consistent ejection regardless of the shooter’s dominant hand or firing position. The pistol grip and forend are textured to provide a secure purchase, while the compact overall length due to the bullpup configuration enhances handling in close quarters.
Accessory Integration
Equipped with an integrated, full-length top Picatinny rail, the KSG provides a versatile mounting surface for a broad spectrum of optical sights, red dots, or auxiliary iron sights. This allows operators to customize their sighting system to optimize target acquisition and engagement distance based on mission requirements.
Reliability & Performance
As a pump-action shotgun, the KELTEC KSG is recognized for its inherent mechanical reliability and straightforward operation. The positive cycling action ensures dependable shell extraction and feeding, a critical attribute for defensive and utility applications where consistent performance is paramount.
