Hands-on with the NEW Kel-Tec KS7 Shotgun

Kel-Tec planned to release its new KS7 shotgun at Shot Show 2019 but leaked information got out about the gun early. Lucky for us, we got an opportunity to show you their newest bullpup pump-action shotgun before anyone else! The KS7 is a compact and lightweight design based on their popular KSG that features improved ergonomics, a slimmer profile, and reduced weight. The KS7 stuffs an 18.5 inch barrel in a 26 inch package! The gun is very well balanced over the pistol grip with a great point of aim. Kel-Tec wanted to ship a shotgun that was ready to rock out of the box so they incorporated a carry handle with a high visibility fluorescent triangle sight and M-LOK attachment points throughout the design. How it’s received by the public remains to be seen in view of the fact that it won’t be released for a few more weeks but Stephen Canty had a great time testing it out.

This platform has been popular in both civilian and military/LEO populations. With this proven history, I will focus on what is new and different. Specifically the magazine and the handle. Mass produced detachable-magazine fed pump action shotguns are a newer trend. Lets us see how well Mossberg did it.

The Bangkok Gun District in Thailand

Wedged in between the streets of the busiest and biggest city in Thailand is the gun market district in Bangkok. Here you have dozens of stores that selling everything ranging from the cheapest Chinese tactical garbage to high-end side by side shotguns or semiautomatic race guns that Thais compete in IPSC and IDPA competitions with throughout the entire country. Although many of the stores are quite camera shy for some reason, we were able to get in touch with one of them that allowed us to film some of their wares that were on display. We looked at some of the handguns, shotguns, and precision rifles that were for sale at a very steep price for the average Thai citizen.

TFB REVIEW: Detroit Ammunition 12 Gauge Subsonic

When you think of firearm suppressors and subsonic ammunition, I’m guessing that a 12 Gauge scattergun is the furthest thing from your mind. Reducing the report of a shotgun to acceptable levels is fraught with challenges. A gigantic bore diameter, wadding and shot cups, suppressor availability, barrel length considerations and  limited ammo availability all weigh on the practicality of muffling the report of a shotgun. Luckily, companies like Detroit Ammunition have been coming up with options for shooters who want to take their 12ga blasters in a different direction.
