Kel-Tec’s newest revolutionary bull-pup design was announced over the weekend on the cover of the NSSF’s Shooting Industry magazine. Details of the new shotgun are sketchy, but presumably all will be made known at the upcoming NSSF SHOT Show.

The shotgun bears a stunning resemblance to the South African designed Neostead pump action scattergun. The operator is able to move a switch located near the top of the grip to select the right or left tube, or move the switch to the center to eject a shell without chambering another round. The bull-pup design results in an overall length of only 26″ with an 18.5″ barrel while the bottom eject design makes the firearm truly ambidextrous.

Shown next to the box of slugs in the photo to the left, you truly begin to get a sense of scale. The bull-pup design of the KSG makes it ideal for home defense and CQB. The incredibly short overall length makes it more nimble than a sawed off shotgun, and with a 14+1 capacity you don’t sacrifice ammunition capacity to get a shotty in a small package.

Ammunition capacity is 14+1 with 2 3/4″ shells. The KSG is shown with a factory installed Picatinny rail with flip up sights and a pistol grip. MSRP is not known at the moment, nor is there an expected date of availability.

These are so badass! Anyone know more on when they will be available? All the stores online I see that have them are sold out. I know they are fairly new, anyone have anymore info? Love the engineering of the gun, the dual internal tube magazine's with the switch in the back to select which tube, so sick! Kel-Tec hit it out of the park with this one, I think.

You can preorder here, but I've read some pretty mediocre reviews about Midwest. I agree that Kel-Tec came up with a pretty cool design on this one. Order one for me...

It is not out yet, last I heard was august or later than that. Kel-Tec though has been bad about release dates so may still be more than a year out. For example their RFB rifle is out in 16inch like a year late and STILL does not have the other barrel length options.
I am excited even though I've read some good stuff about why while cool, is not neccesarily all that practical/useful. (Between the manual switch to swap tubes instead of automatic, not needed since LE would never have lethal and less lethal in the same weapon at same time. Lot of weight in those shells and arguably in a HD situation needing 15 would be unlikely, etc.)
