Ronin38 2,117 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Keep in mind that many of the reasons for the KSGs existence are political. The KSG beautifully circumvents a number of state and local ordinances that would otherwise prevent a person from having a similar shotgun. I think this is exactly why it was developed.

fast2gnt 16 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Hope you got a good price on it. There is a high amount of mark up from wholesale price vs. msrp or actual selling price. Edited January 31, 2014 by fast2gnt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ETA: NM, I guess being in corrections, they need to run less than lethal ammo. yeah bean bags and stingers will not cycle a saiga 12. And those guys weren't in corrections. They were consultants who describe themselves as "Tier 1." Underhand toss across the room to simulate ummmm something with the sling, I guess... One guy who's busy and a bunch of bored guys standing around to simulate actual correctional workflow. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zombiehunter762 376 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 So how did it shot at the range? Any failures? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
psl sniper 963 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) So how did it shot at the range? Any failures?Gonna do a full review at some point. Gun was brand new never cleaned or oiled. When i first started had a few fte's. After some break in and some rem oil she ran like a champ. I did break the cheap 6 dollar forergrip i got off ebay in the first 2 rounds lol. I also had one of the sightmark z series holographic sights on it, it came in yesterday. The sight was very impressive. Never losing zero. It eaven held up to the abuse of 3" magnum buck. Very impressed with this sight. A couple things i will need to address. This thing is light and kicks like a mule with magnum slug and buck rounds. Not so bad on the shoulder but murder on my hand do to the pistol grip. Thinking a hogue slip on grip is in order. need to find a foregrip that can take some abuse. And maybe a recoil pad. P.s. my mini slugs worked great. No feeding issues. And much more pleasent to shoot than factory slugs. Edited February 9, 2014 by Vintovka Dragunova 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 If you want a good fore grip, look at the Troy. https://troyind.com/products/modular-combat-grip-blk I have it on a few weapons and it really is a step above the polymer offerings Ive handled. Just get the thumb screw. Makes it nice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Just a thought and perhaps a hint.... If your hand is absorbing recoil you aren't doing it right. Your hand on the hand grip is supposed to be pulling the gun into your shoulder. I'm glad the KSG working good for you, though. I've heard mixed reviews. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can well imagine how little that lightweight plastic dampens recoil, ouch. On the other hand, I was well pleased with how the heavy wood/steel of my new M1A does dampen recoil of the .308. Trade offs. Just a thought and perhaps a hint.... If your hand is absorbing recoil you aren't doing it right. Your hand on the hand grip is supposed to be pulling the gun into your shoulder. Yeoldetool is right on the money... You're doing it wrong, it should kick like mule, but not hurt your hand. 'Pull' it in tight to your shoulder. Oh yeah, they make padded shooting attire for a reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
psl sniper 963 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Its the way the grip is located. You do use it to pull it tight into your shoulder. But the recoil still very much felt in your hand. Im not the first to notice this. Seems to be the design. Hard to explain unless youve tried it. I think its mostly do With the angle the gun is held to avoid shells hitting your arm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

psl sniper 963 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 So some poorly designed ergonomics, makes sense then. Lol it is what it is. A compact bull pup 12 gauge. Bullpups in general are not known for stellar ergos. When shooting normal shells its not an issue. But 3" mags. Yes you will feel it. All in all its a small gripe. The gun runs great. The sight works and holds zero even under heavy recoil. And it runs the mini shells i made. All in all i am very pleased. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen the video with the guy wearing gauze to pad his wrist/forearm because the ejected shells had chewed up him up. Ouch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
