Guns & Ammo approached me a couple of weeks ago to see if I would be interested in field testing the sexy new Kel-Tec KSG Shotgun. My response was, 'When can I start!' After touring the Kel-Tec factory in Cocoa, Florida, I was given a brand new KSG Mark III Shotgun ($1,200.00 US suggested retail) with case. Now, I thought, 'Let's put this baby through its paces!'"
"Just looking at this hot and beautiful urban nightmare, you can tell that it could frighten just about anybody not inside an Abrams tank. The KSG really is built to make you feel almost SWAT-like, and when you first put your hands on this sultry metal seductress, it comes to life, exploding with pleasure in your hands. This pump-action bucks a little, and spits out pellets like crazy, but that just adds to its overall charm. And did I mention that the KSG's big and powerful?"
Out at the range it shoots fine and the shot pattern is pretty tight, but it can hit you pretty damn hard in the old wallet. You have to scam a lot of people to be able to afford $1,200.00 in coin, especially when you're grifting people out of five dollar donations here and ten dollars there. And some people will send you gift cards, and that just ain't right, 'cuz I don't want anything from Zales or Payless. Even worse, some of them'll 'pray for you,' and let me tell you, mister, your prayer, no matter how pious and specific ain't gonna buy my next gun! I mean, who ya gotta kill to afford a nice shotgun nowadays? In the end, all the range evaluations were fine and dandy, but the real test was how this little firestick worked at home."
