FIX YOUR LINK

[axeman_g 128]

fixed... dont know what happened there.

[siderman 1,140]

just got "error occured"

[PK90 3,573]

Awesome. People spoke and Kel-Tec listened.

[vladtepes 1,060]

In a state that does not allow pistol grip SEMI AUTO shotguns there is nothing cooler than this appears to be... If it works as well as it seems to be working I would put it right there under a Saiga 12.. thanks for posting the video..

[axeman_g 128]

Paul... they seemed to have really listened and prioritized the alterations. I would like to get a better view of the "action release" button, it looked a like a polymer, I would hope it would be steel with that winged configuration.

 

This is the coolest design to hit the firearm market in a bunch of year. Very innovative, rapid developement and cost effective. Big win for KelTec.

[Jon 264]

OMFG yes. I will own this shotgun the second it is available.

[JackDaWack 2,895]

whats the action release lever for? i see it him cycle the action with out using it... i must be missing something.

It allows the gun to be cycled without pulling the trigger. Every time he cycles it he's hit the action release lever or pulled the trigger.

[Shane45 807]

Well they fixed my biggest objection which was the trigger issue. Perhaps this is the Kel Tec Id actually own

Is the link broken? I can no watch da video

[civictuner04 6]

click on the box and it will bring you to youtubes website and wont have any issues

[bbk 188]

Works for me.

 

And yea, my huge concern, along with Shane, was the trigger issue. But from a holistic perspective, the fact that Kel Tec went ahead and really listened to the feedback shows that Kel Tec, moving forward, might continue this trend in listening and utilizing feedback (something that a lot of the industry seems to be remiss of).

 

Looks like I might not hold out for v.2 (as they have done a v.2!), and put in a preorder...

[CageFighter 236]

im lickin my chops! cant wait to get one!

[djg0770 481]

The "presenter" is obviously not used to speaking in front of a camera or crowds. It gives this a campy feel, and yet, it's nice to hear that Kel-Tec addressed the issues raised at Shot Show. It's encouraging to see a manufacturer roll out a new product to an audience, solicit feedback and make appropriate changes. (It sounds so simple and yet it's so unusual in industry.)

[Ray Ray 3,566]

I believe he's one of the owners Dan, could be wrong though.

 

Wow, OD Green! fully ambidextrous controls, bottem ejection, and sights!

[djg0770 481]

Ok - he sucks wind as a presenter. Not everybody is a Dale Carnegie or Ralph Smedley, even though they may be a modern day John Moses Browning.

[Caine 147]

Glad to see they implemented the changes so quickly. Can't say I'm a big fan of the notches in the magazine tubes... you can't see how many rounds you have on any other shotgun, so not sure why it's an issue for this one. Seems like a good way to get dirt and other crap into the tube. But overall I'm impressed.

 

As for the presenter, pretty sure he just works for Kel Tec. He showed up in a couple Shot Show videos including one he did with "nutnfancy"

Yeah, should've been clear polymer like the magpul count-down magazines.

[bbk 188]

Yeah, should've been clear polymer like the magpul count-down magazines.

 

Its a good idea, but clear polymer is known to be significantly weaker then other polymers. This is why Magpul never made a clear magazine for wide release, and why certain shades of polymer (regarding their magazines) are avoided by people who use their magazines every day (I believe the FDE polymer is the weakest).

ETA: Wait, you're talking about those small windows. My bad. Even then, something like that seems capable of breaking eventually. Why not just get rid of a piece that can break and still fulfill the original intent?

 

I personally like the idea of the small "vents" on the tubes. I can't put my finger on why, but it just seems like a good idea that, as long as structural integrity isn't compromised, is a good idea.

[JSF01 13]

Thats one nice looking shotgun. Now just need to figue out a good reason to buy one.

Because it's there

[vjf915 456]

"Kel-tec safety glasses"

 

I am SO in for an OD green model.

[alowerlevel 77]

Put me down for an OD model as well

[Leth 8]

Great to see a company respond so quickly after hearing consumer feedback. That trigger really needed to be fixed and they responded well.

 

I've got two potential concerns, however about the other updates:

 

1) The round-count slots cut into the mag tubes: Looks like a great way for dirt and dust to get in and jam up the mags. Do people *really* need this feature?

 

2) The slide release lever: It's placed right where the trigger finger is going to be indexed along the side of the frame when the (responsible!) operator is keeping their finger outside the trigger guard. Particularly if wearing gloves, it looks possible to unintentionally release the slide and have it slightly out of battery. That's gonna be embarrassing when a target is engaged and there's no earth-shattering kaboom.

 

Did either of these modifications need to be made?

[mikeyboyeee 66]

I will be buying one. Not OD tho

[JSF01 13]

Because it's there

Good reason but there are plenty of othe firearms I want so thats not quite good enough of a reason

[vjf915 456]

That's fine, more OD green goodness for me

How about.....because this is by far the most bad-a** shotgun that we have access to in NJ?
