Preview – Mesa Tactical’s Kel-Tec KSG

It's not a far stretch to say that Kel-Tec's newest offering looks like it came fresh off the set of one of the Alien movies or even the upcoming remake of RoboCop. (Seriously, they are remaking the '80s classic RoboCop – look it up. And for the record, we can't wait.) That is to say, the Kel-Tec KSG (Kel-Tec Shotgun) is a seriously modern shotgun with features built into it that match its advanced looks. Looking to push the shotgun's envelope further is Mesa Tactical, a premier aftermarket shotgun accessories maker, with its SureShell Shotshell Carrier and Rail systems for the KSG.

Kel-Tec made a splash at the 2010 SHOT Show with its prototype KSG. What people saw there took them by surprise. With its sleek angles, bullpup layout, and dual magazine tubes, the KSG certainly didn't look like any of the traditional shotguns at the firearms industry trade show. It's been well more than a year since the prototype's debut, and we're looking forward to getting acquainted with the production model. Mesa Tactical allowed us an up-close look at the KSG that it's been working on.
