I do like that about kel-tek, they are innovative. Looks like a fun gun.

Sorta neat.

At 38" that's a lot longer then a 26" minimum shotgun.

So my question is, what would one use this for other then zombies?

Just curious, not hate'n.

Home defense....it's a yard long.... not a mini shotgun but tons of ammo without a magazine?

I was thinking of putting those little mini shells in and see how many crows i could pop in an afternoon

If it's reliable and smooth I guess there's not much to not like.

I personally wouldn't buy one. But somehow I still want one.
It's cool and I love the innovation Kel-Tec consistently throws out there.

If I had dispensable income I would buy one for ish and giggles.

I dig the gonzo factor. And that is a lot of ammo for a scattergun. Personally, I prefer lighter, handier shotguns for defensive purposes, and this thing (loaded) has got to be on the hefty side. At the $1,400 price point, I'm less enthused. All and all, neat, but I'm not going to be rushing out to buy one any time soon.

I'd really dig a suppressed Six12. But, alas, it appears to remain to be vaporware.

Thought Kel-Tec was making a goose gun for a second there.

I think I'll stick with my 870

My experience with the original KSG was serious reliability issues (I mean, it is kel tec), slow reload method, shells ejecting straight into my wrist, rough/clunky pump action, and a hell of a kick. Unless they overhauled the design, I can only foresee the last critique being resolved in the KSG 25. Lastly, it serves no practical role. If you have a specific task there is a better shotgun out there for it, especially at that price point.

What happened to the advertised 25 shell capacity? I remember back during shot show they were saying 25 shells (12+12+1). i.e. the 25 in KSG 25.

With all that being said, I get it. Its a cool little range toy that everyone and their mother would be curious to shoot. There is something comical and stupid fun about holding that many shells in a pump then mag dumping like a mad man. Rapid fire clay pigeons would also be a good time.

It's long. Probably heavy too when fully loaded.

Have one, it's a bit ridiculous but actually a bit shorter then a 18" barreled REM 870. Yes heavier when loaded but also tamed the recoil a bit. Buck in one tube and slugs in the other, and it will take mini shells if you want to just shoot all day.

Have you loaded it full of mini's just to get a count yet?

 

[ZRXrider]

I believe it will hold 40+1 chambered

I believe it will hold 40+1 chambered

That's a lot of scatter gun fodder!
