Frequently Asked Questions

What is the capacity of the Keltec KS7 shotgun?

The Keltec KS7 has a standard capacity of 7 rounds of 2.75-inch 12 gauge shells plus one in the chamber, for a total of 8 rounds. With Aguila Minishells, the capacity can increase to 11+1.

Is the Keltec KS7 reliable for home defense?

The KS7 is generally lighter and has a more streamlined profile than the KSG. It also typically comes at a lower price point, making it a more accessible option for home defense while retaining the compact bullpup design.

Due to its lightweight construction (under 6 lbs), the Keltec KS7 exhibits significant felt recoil, especially when firing 3-inch magnum slugs. Users should be prepared for a punishing experience with heavy loads.
