Frequently Asked Questions

How can I prevent hot shells from hitting my wrist when shooting the Kel-Tec KSG?

The most effective method is to adopt an 'elbow out' shooting stance. This involves extending your shooting elbow away from your body, creating a clear path for ejected shells to fall downwards and away from your arm and wrist, preventing contact.

What is the recommended shooting stance for the Kel-Tec KSG to avoid wrist burns?

The Kel-Tec KSG 12 Gauge Shotgun typically holds 14 rounds in total, with 7 rounds in each of its two magazine tubes. This allows for a significant number of shots before needing to reload.
