I’m an M&P guy, I have most of the lineup, but I don’t think the market was clamoring for another bullpup shotgun. Bullpups aren’t very popular in the US to begin with and there are already a handful of them out there.
The M&P looks a lot like a Standard Mfg DP12 but with a single barrel and M&P grips.

very keltec

To each his own, I guess.

This is more my speed…

They *may* have had a winner if they'd ripped off the VR80 instead of a bullpup.

3-Gunners have really taken to the AR-ish platform for shotguns. I don't get it, but I'm also a middle of the pack schlub.

Interesting
but not for me

Another solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. A Shield Plus in .22lr or .380 would have been a much better idea.

I'm excited to see if they join the party of "people using cheap foregrips and blowing their fingers off when the grip breaks"

Who wants to bet Kel Tec didnt patent the KSG... same thing happened with the P3AT.

If this is the case, prepare for more copies soon....cant wait for the Ruger and Taurus versions. TeeHee.

This.

My bil is all about his keltec pup.

It's heavy, awkward, chunky and "cheap" feeling to me but it does run. My go to is a mossy 500 18.5, 5 shot. Blue and wood.

I have been hunting a 9shot version for years (always over priced for me now) or a marinekote version also with wood🥰

yeah, thanks. but i didn't pay 600 for a ksg when you could get them that cheap. i'm not paying 2/3 more for the S&W version.

pass.
I might be interested if Benelli made an inertia driven bullpup that automatically switched tubes when dry, for sub $1k.

That MSRP is...well...oooofffff, ouch, owieee!!!

My buddy has the Keltec KS7...not sure what it is about it (and I’m a bull pup fan), but it made me instantly not want to shoot it after pulling the trigger the first time...and that was with birdshot. I put exactly one round of buckshot through it and handed it back to him!

I hear reports of the rather severe recoil impulse with the Ks7 all the time, my bet is it is a combo of the light weight and the bore axis...

I do hear they feed minishells well however.

If I were to spend over $1k on a bullpup shotgun, I would opt for the Tavor TS12. At least all y'all would be asking me if you could shoot that!

Probably correct there on the reasons and it was severe!!! Funny, one of the reasons he bought it was for the mini shells and he had trouble with them feeding.

Thats actually the first time ive heard anyone say they had seen one have problems with the mini shells.... that is unfortunate 😕

He didn’t have any the day I shot it and had already given up on them. He was also surprised based on what he‘d heard and read before buying it. Abe just something slightly off with his particular one??? It would be his luck! 🤣
