Keltec KS7

[twistedsquid]

It's short and light. The pump is smooth and easy to operate. It loads easily. I set up a B27E at 20 meters indoor. I shot 9 rounds of 2 3/4" Fiocchi 1 ounce slugs, 1560 fps and scored well. The sight works very effectively. I like the carry handle. It has some Magpul slots but I don't think I would hang a thing on it. The recoil has a bite. I would use more pectoral and less shoulder next time.

It's affordable and practical. I have it setup with 7 + 1, 2 3/4" S&B Double Buck.

This is my first Bullpup. It's simple and I like it so far. Just my 2cts.

Hey, wow thx for the review. I was just checking this out and sending links to friends. Am really checking this sg out. No worries about mag capacity if it cycles mini shells....would love to see one purpose built for .20ga

Keltec owners group suggests it will cycle mini shells reliably with no modifications. It looks like it will take 10 or 11, +1. I am going to test Aguila Minishells, 5/8 ounce, #4/#1 combo loads.

Let us know how that works out. I saw one at the PX on the rack and that thing is TINY.

I bet mini-shells will take a bunch off of that recoil... as would regular length "reduced recoil" loads.

It is small, at 26" overall length. I really like the compactness and light weight. It is very easy to handle and maneuver. I ordered the minishells specifically to reduce the recoil with the added benefit of increased capacity. I'll update this thread after testing. BTW, at the $475 I paid I think it's a screaming deal and a great home defense option.

You could load 1-2ea 2 3/4" shells then follow with minis if you wanted more payload right out of the gate... Me? Mag capacity is key. You know the whole, better to not need.. thing.

Reduced recoil .12ga would, IMHO, make a big difference in recoil w/o loss of effectiveness at normal home distances.

I agree that it is a screaming deal. Caught my eye right away. I am however, taking a tactical pause with buying guns. HH6 recently okay ed my purchase of a Beretta A400 Xplor .12ga. Used a bunch of credit card points, but unfortunately, she became aware of the real MSRP of that gun.... Changing subjects... love that gun.. soft shooting, light weight. Beautiful.

Compact n seems very manueverable.

I’m not willing to lose the ability of loading straight to port to switch from buck to slug n vice versa.

Reduced recoil federal flite-control or leo shells are the way to go imho.
Fist size spread at 40 yards I kid you not. At 1050-1100 FPS I can rack a few under 2 secs. During my LE shotgun instructor certification, I outshot the Fville seasoned SRT with those. I’ve since sold them to one QP here.
