Description
The KelTec KSG Black is a shotgun chambered in 12 Gauge with a 18.5-inch barrel and a 13+1 capacity.
KelTec KSG Black Overview
The KelTec KSG is a 12 gauge bullpup pump shotgun with two magazine tubes under the barrel. 5-inch barrel. 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
75-inch shells in each tube, plus one in the chamber, and loads and ejects from the bottom so it works for right- or left-handed shooters. The top rail accepts optics or sights, and the bottom rail takes a vertical grip or light. 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
Because the action sits behind the trigger, the KSG is short enough to move easily through doorways and vehicles while keeping full-length barrel velocity. It is a popular home defense shotgun for that reason.
Action and Trigger
The pump stroke is short and positive, and the cross-bolt safety and tube selector are easy to reach. Trigger pull is around five pounds.
Sights and Optics
The KSG has no factory sights; the Picatinny top rail accepts a red dot, flip-up sights or a holographic sight.
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.
