KSG shotgun

PSA had them on sale for $799 (I think) about a month ago and that price included either 3 or 5 stripped lowers. I thought that was a pretty good deal...but I'm not really interested in a KSG.

CONS: Clunky, feels cheap, slide action not smooth like a Rem 870 or Win 1300.

PROS: Short, holds lots of shells.

Once I went to a quality semi-auto, I just didn't enjoy a pump shotgun.

And there is also the possibility of this...

This is pretty much my opinion. Best bet if you have the itch is borrow or rent one for a box of shells.

Then throw 1/2 doz slugs in the mix, get back to us with your findings.

Mossberg 835 with an extra long barrel for duck & gooses. I love roast duck. Or add a slug barrel for slug things, like deer! 3 1/2" buck for home defense is a bit over overkill, but it will handle it. I think the KSG is cool though, it looks really bad ass.

Oh yeah, I lived in Cocoa for a few years, that's where they make 'em.

PS. I use the short barrel for the house, it comes with 2 barrels.

Vepr 12 and KSG have similar base prices, both around $750

While I would like to get a KSG, if the prices are similar, the Vepr 12 is the way to go. At least for the fun factor.

I have a Mossy 500 with a ported 18" and a magpul stock that I am using now. Slides amazing, and shoots very well.

I can get my hands on an KSG for about $800 flat. I like the Saiga and that Vepr 12 looks pretty similar. From what I am gathering, the KSG is more of a novelty gun. Fun to shoot, but not necessarily good for any practical reason such as hunting, clays, or home defense. Thank you guys for your thoughts. After hearing this, I don't think I will pick on up.

The saiga is great, but the Vepr is better in every way I can think of. It uses a billet bolt, not cast. Hinged top cover with pic rail, self regulating gas, last round bolt hold open...

While you're right that it is certainly a novelty gun, I disagree that it wouldn't serve as a good home defense gun. Better than an 870 or 500? Not unless you end up with a while bunch of bad guys coming through the door. But it could be used as a fine home defense shotgun should one want to use it as such.

That said, mine lives in the safe and comes out for fun. Fun guns deserve some loving too.

I second that, especially if you live in a small house like mine.
There's something to be said about Bullpups!
