The KelTec KS7 Defender is a Gen 2 bullpup pump-action shotgun chambered in 12 gauge (brand part no. KS7BLKDREDDOT) from KelTec, built to pack a full-length 18.5-inch barrel into a compact, maneuverable bullpup layout that handles 3-inch shells. It holds 6 rounds in the tube plus one in the chamber and wears a black finish with a Magpul Backup flip sight for fast target acquisition without adding a red dot. The bullpup design shifts the action behind the grip, shortening overall length without sacrificing barrel length or pattern performance. It is built for home defense and close-range work where a compact, hard-hitting pump shotgun matters more than magazine capacity.
