SHOT Day 2 - Kel Tec Shotgun

[TechBrute]

Justin, I agree, but I can't possibly imagine that they would actually release a gun that doesn't reset automatically... but, if they did, I completely agree that it's a deal breaker...

Not familiar with Kel-Tec. How good is their reputation?

 

[TechBrute]

klw, I can only speak for myself. I've always thought they had innovative products, but their execution has come up short. It's not that their guns are of poor quality, it's the last 5-10% that comes up short, plastic flashing, gritty triggers, etc. If they just put a little bit more effort into the QC, they'd be up there...

This is my first post so here goes But has anybody seen a video or demonstration on that thing being field stripped? It has a coolness factor of 12 out of 10. But it looks like it would be hard to take apart, and darn near impossible to change some of the smaller parts.

Hi, KR, welcome to The High Road.

No, we were moving too fast to watch it being disassembled.

how about an inch extra of muzzle brake/flash hider?

NO, that would be very not-good. I want the extra barrel to reduce blast a little more (muzzle brake would increase blast), and get the muzzle further away from my support/pump hand.

It would be cooler in auto though. But if the price drops I might consider one. I can't justify more than $400-500.00, for an HD shotgun. Unless I was a LEO, but to sit in the closet, it's too much. And the triggere reset, is a deal breaker, I just saw that. Kel tek should know better than to try bringing in a new product at such a high price point in this economy.

Honestly, not sure how many domestic firearms do much more than that.

Trigger reset is a huge no-go. And they claim it's a 'safety feature'?? WTH?

Pass or Fail, this thing is going to change the face of shotguns forever. I'm betting that Remington, Mossberg, Benelli, and Beretta (heck, maybe even Savage) are going to take a long hard look at this.

That safety feature is preventing the unintended purchase of their product.
