The Kel-Tec KSG 12 gauge bullpup pump shotgun in black (KelTec part no. KSGBLK) packs a lot of shells into a 26.1-inch package. Its 18.5-inch smooth bore barrel is paired with two magazine tubes, and a manual selector lever lets you switch tubes or load the fastest. The bullpup layout loads and ejects from the bottom, so it runs the same for left- and right-handed shooters. It is chambered for 3-inch shells and fires a wide variety of loads.

Key Specifications
