Frequently Asked Questions

What is the capacity of the KelTec KSG .410?

The KelTec KSG .410 can hold up to 15 rounds of 2.5-inch shells or 11 rounds of 3-inch shells, thanks to its dual magazine tubes.

What are the main ergonomic issues with the KelTec KSG .410?

The primary ergonomic issue is the integrated sight system on the carry handle. Its height-over-bore and the straight stock make achieving a proper cheek weld very difficult, leading to low impacts.

What ammunition reliability issues were observed with the KelTec KSG .410?

During testing, extraction failures occurred with ACG 'Boom' slugs. This was attributed to the brass rims swelling and jamming in the chamber, indicating potential ammo-specific reliability problems.

What is the recommended solution for the KelTec KSG .410's sight issues?

The host strongly recommends replacing the factory carry handle with a Picatinny rail and mounting a raised optic. This will allow for a proper cheek weld and accurate aiming.
