It's a pump-gun, American made not Keltec. Bullpup stock and action.
14 round, selectable twin tube magazine. The tubes are over the barrel, and it uses a AR-grip so the barrel centerline is super low on the gun.

Impressions: It's REALLY light weight. The gun is much smaller than it looks in photos.
There are grooves cut in the top of the magazine tubes so you can glance down to check the round count. It was priced at just over $1100

 

im a total gun noob. Is this thing legal in CA?

Edit:
Quick google search and from what i have found it is currently legal in CA.
that thing looks like a lot of fun.

 

I want to mate with that weapon.

 

Cool concept in theory, but I see some shortcomings.

Besides being super heavy when loaded with 15 rounds of 12ga shells, the fact you can't manually load a shell via the ejection port is a dealbreaker.

 

Pull !

 

If you have 14 rounds, what would you need to load through the ejection port?

Someone burns through 14 rounds without neutralizing the threat... well they were probably dead 7 rounds ago

 

In a dynamic situation having the ability to transition from one type of ammunition to another on the fly is very important.

For example, if the threat is behind hard cover and buckshot isn't effective, don't you think it would be nice to be able to pop a slug into the chamber and take the shot? I'd rather not have to cycle through an entire tube of ammo just to load a slug in there.

 

Ah -
that's why the tubes are selectable. Load one side with slugs, one side with Buckshot, just flip the switch on top

skip to 1:43

 

selectable tube... thats hot

 

I would not trust leos or anyone for that matter to put lethal rounds in one tube and less than in the other.

 

That has been there for weeks I guess that was your car I saw there yesterday? Black with wing risers and OEM wing?

Kel-Tek KSG is slightly smaller and more versatile than that one, since both tubes will accept 2-3/4", 3", and supposedly also 3.5" shells. That one has one tube for 3" and one for 2-3/4". I asked them about it when they got it in. The KSG is also about half the price of that one, but I have seen some reports of users having issues with them.

I work right around the corner from Reeds and drive by it every morning.

 

Not my car, I was in the Company car and dropped by to sign up for a class in November. I did notice the WRX you are talking about and was thinking how much better the rear deck looks than my STi

I haven't heard of anyone actually receiving a a KSG they ordered.

 

The UTS-15 is cool, but I am not sure how I like having the tubes on top? Would love to give that thing a try.

Yeah, I haven't actually seen a KSG in person yet, holding out until they actually do get out there so I can see how they are. Reeds said they have them on order, no date. I've been looking for something like this or the UTS for a while now.

Mmmmmmm... UTS-15 Hunting
