Description
The KelTec KS7 Gen2 Defender is a shotgun chambered in 12 Gauge.
KelTec KS7 Gen2 Defender Overview
The KelTec KS7 is a compact, lightweight 12 gauge bullpup pump shotgun with a single magazine tube. 5-inch barrel in an overall length of about 26 inches, and it weighs around six pounds. Fit matters more with a shotgun than with almost any other firearm, because you point it rather than aim it. Check that the stock length lets you mount the gun smoothly with your eye centered over the rib, and pattern the gun with the chokes and loads you plan to use.
A few trips to the trap or sporting clays field before the season will sharpen your swing and help you learn how the gun handles.
Design and Features
The KS7 holds 7+1 rounds of 2.75-inch shells or 6+1 of 3-inch shells and ejects downward, so it works for left- or right-handed shooters. The Gen2 forend adds a five-slot Picatinny-style rail with a smooth rail cap. Shells and chokes make a big difference in performance. Match the load to the game, from light target loads for clays to heavier shot for waterfowl and turkey, and pattern the gun at the distances you expect to shoot. Keeping the action and choke threads clean and lightly oiled will keep the gun running reliably for many seasons.
Handling in the Field
The carry handle doubles as a sighting system, and the short length makes it easy to handle in close quarters.
Action and Trigger
The pump stroke is short and positive, and the safety is easy to reach.
Sights and Optics
Fiber optic sights are built into the carry handle, which also has a rail for a red dot.
The 12 Gauge Cartridge
The 12 Gauge offers a good balance of power, accuracy, and recoil for its intended use.
Setup and Accessories
Set your shotgun up for its job: hunters will want a sling and a few choke tubes, clay shooters may add a recoil pad, and a home-defense setup benefits from a weapon light. Pattern every load and choke combination you plan to use.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner’s manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the shotgun and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner’s manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the action and choke threads. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
