Its popularity lead to countless other bullpup-style shotguns.<\/p>\n<p>Often imitated but never duplicated, I think we all wondered how Kel-Tec could possibly top that one. Well, now we have an answer. Enter the updated pump-action KSG-25.<\/p>\n<p>The 25 in KSG-25 is due to the fact that it holds 25 rounds of 12 gauge. Full-size shells. An entire box. And if you load up with Augula Mini Shells, you get a capacity of 40+1. This is pretty insane to contemplate, no matter the size of the gun.<\/p>\n<p>The KSG-25 achieves this capacity by matching its 30-inch barrel with its two full-length magazine tubes. Thanks to the bullpup action its still a relatively compact package overall. The whole thing measures in at only 38 inches long &#8212; an overall length within an inch of a Remington 870 with an 18-inch barrel.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_68494\" style=\"width: 1074px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017-2.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"40-shot-12-gauge-kel-tec-ksg-25\" title=\"Kel-Tec's New 40+1 Capacity KSG 12-Gauge! \u2013 SHOT Show 2017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68494\" alt=\"Kel-Tec's New 40+1 Capacity KSG 12-Gauge! \u2013 SHOT Show 2017\" title=\"Kel-Tec's New 40+1 Capacity KSG 12-Gauge! \u2013 SHOT Show 2017\" class=\"wp-image-68494 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017-2.jpeg\" width=\"1064\" height=\"710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017-2.jpeg 1064w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017-2-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017-2-400x267.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017-2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017-2-1024x683.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1064px) 100vw, 1064px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-68494\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Being a bullpup, the KSG-25 is about the same overall length as a standard defensive shotgun.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_68495\" style=\"width: 1074px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"40-shot-12-gauge-kel-tec-ksg-25\" title=\"Kel-Tec's New 40+1 Capacity KSG 12-Gauge! \u2013 SHOT Show 2017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68495\" alt=\"Kel-Tec's New 40+1 Capacity KSG 12-Gauge! \u2013 SHOT Show 2017\" title=\"Kel-Tec's New 40+1 Capacity KSG 12-Gauge! \u2013 SHOT Show 2017\" class=\"wp-image-68495 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017.jpeg\" width=\"1064\" height=\"710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017.jpeg 1064w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017-400x267.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kel-tec-ksg-25-bullpup-shotgun-shot-show-2017-1024x683.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1064px) 100vw, 1064px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-68495\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It comes with Magpul sights and forward pistol grip.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Specifications<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Chamber: 12-gauge, 3-inch<\/li>\n<li>Barrel length: 30 inches<\/li>\n<li>Overall length: 38 inches<\/li>\n<li>Weight 11.5 pounds (fully loaded)<\/li>\n<li>Finish: matte black<\/li>\n<li>Sights: Magpul MBUS flip-up<\/li>\n<li>MSRP: $1,400<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Impressions<\/h2>\n<p>It would be easy to dismiss this gun as novelty. I\u2019m not even much of a shotgun guy, so I wanted to hate it. But when you pick it up and really consider the way it handles, it is a pretty badass piece of gear. Pretty much ends my argument against shotguns as being to slow to reload in a home defense gun.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t solve it with 41 rounds of buckshot, you probably need something belt fed and friends. This thing is like a hand held Claymore. The Kel-Tec fans are going to love it, the haters are going to tell us it&#8217;s impractical, and Kel-Tec&#8217;s competition in the shotgun industry is going to try and copy it as fast as they can. Another big innovation from Kel Tec, this one is sure to be a hit.<\/p>\n<h2>Pricing and Availability<\/h2>\n<p>As far as pump-action shotguns go the suggested retail price is above-average at $1,400. But that won&#8217;t stop anyone from buying this over-the-top bullpup shotgun.<\/p>\n<p>Like the rest of Kel-Tec&#8217;s halo products pricing and availability is sure to be all over the map. If you want one and have the money, buy it before someone else does, even if it&#8217;s listing at full price. Because it will sell out and fast.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.keltecweapons.com\/\" campaign=\"KSG-25\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">https:\/\/www.keltecweapons.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To purchase a Kel-Tec KSG on GunsAmerica.com, click this link:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?T=KSG\" campaign=\"KSGonGA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?T=KSG<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It would be easy to dismiss this gun as novelty.
