Kel-Tec KS7 Shotgun

The KS7 is a bullpup 12-gauge shotgun and is something of a single-mag-tube version of the KSG, but it has some interesting differences. The most obvious difference is the top carry handle and fiber-optic bead at the front. This makes the KS7 shootable right out of the box. But it sure does look weird. In any event, I?ve gotten to spend some time shooting the KS7 and here follow my impressions of this lightweight beast of a shotgun.

Why Consider the KS7

You might consider the KS7 for its small and lightweight configuration, which makes it a very wieldy, easy-to-carry, easy-to-maneuver firearm. Good for home defense or other cramped or close-quarters needs. At just over 26 inches long and ~6 pounds, it?s easy to hold, easy to pack, and (unlike the KSG) simple to use.

You might also consider the KS7 for its value. Often found for less than $500, it?s an inexpensive way to get a tactical-ish shotgun with a front sight bead that makes it shoot-ready right out of the box. With its numerous M-LOK slots, there are several locations for mounting accessories like lights and sling mounts, too.
