Why buy Kel-Tec?

[ray1970]

If you had a Kel-Tec, a Taurus, and maybe a Hi-point that's some operator level firepower right there.

Sounds like an arsenal to me!

After reading this thread, I went and gently fondled my KSG, told her that there are bad people in this world, but that I'll never let them hurt her, and then carefully put her back in the safe.

Ok, for those fortunate enough to have a KSG, did you have to camp out at their plant, sacrifice a goat, pay almost 3x MSRP, etc.?

I have no direct hands on experience with KT and thus can't speak to to the quality of product, but find myself a little jaded against them by the combination of years on end of mass-advertising combined with comically low production, the appearance of which seems similar to the handmade Italian sportcars that only have a few units produced per year - if that's their business model then fine, but why then spend all the cash on advertising and driving demand for non-existent supply, because as much as I would like one, after years of looking for product availability, only to find the occasional unit on GB for $1500-1800, absolutely refuse to pay 2x or more for one...

I will admit that part of the reason this aggravates me is being left-handed the only alternative I'm aware of (being the UTS15) is out....

It's very pricy, but look into the SRM1216 for a similiar high cap amazing wierd shotty. Not sure of legality as it's fed from 4 tubes of 4 but all bundled into one big removable magazine. (Do have to manually index to each tube of 4 though.)

For mine, I did have to go the pay too much route as I never lucked into one at a LGS for retail.

Nope, walked in paid $869 +tax, BGC at the Firing Line (BTW this was during the Gouging times of most gun shops) said have a nice day, shot it soon after. Never had a problem with it, wife was good once she learned to tuck it into her shoulder. The bullpup tends to make people leave a bit of room between the butt of the gun and their shoulder. It will remind you real quick of the error in your ways but once you get that one figured out you are good. I saw them going for as much as $4000 and many times $2500. I love mine but never would have paid that. Now the 'Intel' thread has them for $849... Shipped. That is about right.

Pffft... The whole high tech satellites and space thing...it's just a fad. Steel and wood baby...that's where it's at.

Yep, one day they may have phones that don't need wires.

I just wish something faster than this damn dial up would hurry and come along so I could browse faster...
