KSG Quick Start Guide

This is an unboxing and quick tutorial to get you started with the basics of your new KSG.

[@shawnroyer1930]

Of all the videos I've found this one is by far the easiest one to understand and to follow along with. Kel-Tec has some pretty unique items, this being no different. Good job explaining sir.

[@BooBahh-uh5jk]

I love mine, the people I let shoot it (watermelons) the very first shot has them grinning

[@chadderick1]

Thank you... very much appreciated.

[@45Gunner556]

the part about the glock mags made me laugh so Hard

[@TeksterJesteR]

I did too, because I own a glock 😂😂😂

[@infini1970]

This is great. So simple. Lots of other vids on this make it much harder than it needs to be.

[@badlandsdivisonshane6464]

Just purchased a KSG this month, Excited to go to the range and shoot it. Keltec truly has come a long way

[@silvershooter555]

Very useful guide. I've been thinking about getting a KSG. This has convinced me to buy one! 🙂

[@nuclearfish010]

It's very much worth it. Very nice gun

[@ÂAAAAAA-q7s]

I highly recommend getting the trigger & spring kit from M CARBO & then a butt pad from MISSOURI TACTICAL. Also a receiver cover to save your face from ice cold metal to face contact. Have fun.

[@tonyp2632]

Good info. Was on the fence with the KSG, the recoil and the CA prices, then found one for $587 online (a "4th of July" sale). So I pulled the trigger(pun intended😂). Just waiting for delivery to my FFL.

[@nuclearfish010]

Really appreciate the video guys! Very well made. And I love my ksg! Most badass shotgun on the market

[@dvariuswright3054]

Picking up my KSG from FFL tomorrow….can’t wait to take it to the range!

A small suggestion, a spot light on the individual parts you’re discussing as you go would help everyone see it a little better. Good explanation though. Thanks.

I should be receiving my KSG in 4 days. Looking forward to it

Great video for KSG shotgun beginners like myself...thank you!

[@sheldonjplanktonn]

How do you like it?

[@fredmore8788]

@@sheldonjplanktonn The KelTec KSG is great...However, after using it I had some buckshots left in the chamber and couldn't get them out so had to shoot them out. Is there a way to remove the the buckshots without having to cycle them through the chamber?

[@chadderick1]

@@fredmore8788 If you reach into the ejection port and lift up on the cartridge stop, the spring tension in the magazine tube will spit the shell out.

[@tonyshaw7420]

Well... That was dead simple. I'm pretty sure this will be my first firearm purchase ever 👍

[@DarrenEngler-qg8im]

Putting it on lay away this week ❤

[@TheEricVader]

Amazing video :) It's very helpful for a new owner:) Greetings from Poland.

[@watchyourr6172]

I got a titanium finish ksg months ago and have heavily modified it since. My only advice is definitely get a recoil pad and some sort of forward grip.

[@charsta2072]

What grip is comparable

[@Garcia1689]

I just bought one, thank you for the quick tips

[@jeffcarter9646]

Do one for the KSG410 please...

[@45Gunner556]

hey KEL TEC I love all of your guns you make really cool guns ever scince i saw the KSG i wanted it and i am gonna go buy it

[@LPerez]

Just got mine! Can’t wait to try it out. BTW, what brand of band do you have on that Apple Watch? Anyone know?

[@chadderick1]

Not sure of the brand, but I got it on Amazon in 3 different colors. They're inexpensive and the quality has been great.

[@tonywilson1182]

When is the semi auto version of the keltec KSG 410 coming out? I can’t wait.

[@aldousorwell3807]

Thank you!... I just got my KSG a year ago, and i was having trouble getting into that pesky box.😤 ...Now, on to Step 2!🤪 ...And this is exactly what i imagine Charles Bronson's Hands looked like.

[@chadderick1]

You'd be surprised, lol

[@nathan0717]

Fun shotgun. Make sure to not be soft when racking a new shell. You’ll know what I mean after you take it to the range 😂

[@ManicAfterShock]

My KSG pump jams when the bolt is half way back, requiring me to beat the angled grip on something solid to unjam it. Can't find any information online.

[@chadderick1]

Call Customer Service. The number is on the back of your manual.

[@theofficialgreenkane]

Wait, so you pull down on the pump release lever & rack it to put one in the chamber (got it) after that, can you just pull the trigger? Or you said “after that, you can just simply PUMP, fire, pump & fire” So you have to rack it again after racking 1 in the chamber? 3:35-3:50 I went to the range with some buddies and everyone was having problems. They’d load it, rack it, line up their target, pull the trigger & nothing would happen. (Safety was obv off) I’m trying to figure out where we kept going wrong.

[@chadderick1]

Pump release. Rack a shell into the chamber. Fire. Once the 1st shell has been fired, there's no need to utilize the pump release. If it's not firing with a live shell loaded into the chamber, call Customer Service.

[@theofficialgreenkane]

@@chadderick1 Thank you

[@briantoye]

It's a fun Firearm! You can hit paper at 50 yards with a 1oz slug..good enough for what it is :)

[@knight7512]

how about installing the strap for ksg 410 lol i have it but no idea how to put the strap on lol thanks

[@a_storm_inside7026]

Is that optics rail on top metal? I saw a video where the optic would move around with alot of shooting and thats very concerning

[@chadderick1]

It's aircraft grade aluminum. If the optic is moving, the optic isn't mounted properly.

[@hefeadoy8389]

Do you put selector to the middle to unload?

[@janettewilson5368]

How does the carry strap actually attach to the 410??? Am I right to assume that it is a single point carry strap?

[@mikeyrov5230]

Can you clean and lube it without taking out that bolt ?

[@chadderick1]

You can. Or you can disassemble it (field strip) completely for a thorough cleaning.

[@drewoh7585]

Bonus points for taking Glock mags!

[@MsAshleyBelle]

Can I put a cable lock on this??

[@qthestorm_patriot]

That Glock mag 😂😂 bid 🎉😂😂 omg, I spit my coffee out my nose ☕️ 😭 😂 so dead 💀💀

[@chadderick1]

Sorry about that, lol

[@jonathanzamora5240]

pick one up last 2 week ago for $550 at PSA 😍

[@45Gunner556]

Damn that was a Steal

[@MatthewCashew3]

I got mine for $900 in southern California

[@silvercaddy9484]

How does this handle 2 1/2" shells? and what is the capacity increase over using 3" shells?

[@chadderick1]

It handles everything from 1-3/4 inch mini shells up to 3 inch. Capacity with 3 inch shells is generally 6+6+1 if the shells are tightly crimped. Some slugs (depends on brand) have a large crimp that makes getting 6 in very difficult or not possible.

[@Nakanokalronin]

Hope you make one of these for the SU-16.

[@AshcIaw]

Thank you

[@Lone_traveler147]

The glock mag made me spit out my coffee....you monster

Hang on a second. I know you. You're the canik video guy. How are you working for both companies?

[@chadderick1]

I was at KelTec almost 15 years. I left for an opportunity at Century Arms / Canik USA. It didn't work out, so now I just troll social media and answer questions.

[@chadderick1]

@@shaunsteele4968 Much appreciated. I'm glad to help.

[@jnananinja7436]

I thought something was wrong with mine at first because I didn’t know the pump had to be released to load the first shell.

[@jessegatto7759]

I put a light, recoil pad, side carrier, red dot ,and fore grip to keep my hand clear of the barrel some grip tape its my go to when things go bump in the night

[@TI14928]

How does the shell on left and right tube transfer to barrel?

[@aldousorwell3807]

It has an extractor/elevator mechanism, somewhat similar to any other pump sg. ...The difference is that there is a switch that you have to actuate that blocks off one tube or the other. ...Otherwise it would extract shells from both at the same time, and cause a jam. This also means that you have to reach into the receiver with your thumb and switch to the second tube when the first tube goes empty (I never hear anyone point out that detail). And as a side note, if I recall correctly, the switch also has a middle setting that blocks off both tubes. ...Which could potentially come in handy as a temporary 'Idiot-Proofing' measure, if you keep it loaded but leave the chamber empty.😉

[@preachers4135]

I’m going to backfill mine with epoxy so the Glock mag won’t fall out. 🤣

[@chadderick1]

Hahaha... You're an innovator.

[@KevSharp_au]

Let us know how the warranty process goes.

[@aldousorwell3807]

Any update on this issue?...

[@josephnessschmoe2864]

Mine isn't extracting mini shells...

[@chadderick1]

It's not guaranteed to cycle mini shells, however most KSGs will cycle them after a break-in period.

[@kbkesq]

Should come with foregrip. Too easy to blow your left hand off. Love my KSG and use short shells in it. 24!

[@MrKeithcl]

I wish you showed how to clear the weapon rather than just saying make sure its cleared. I just got this gun and I am really unsure how to make sure there isn't a live round stuck in it somewhere.

[@aldousorwell3807]

1) Press the pump disconnector tab and hold while racking the pump to the rear, to extract any shell that may be chambered. 2) Remove any shell that may have been extracted, and visibly look to make sure that the chamber is empty. 3) With the pump in the rearward position, there is a spring-loaded serrated steel tab at the bottom rear of each magazine tube, that can be depressed to individually eject each shell from the tubes. 👍

[@Tardisius]

[@Icejones00]

The idea of the 410 got me lusting. I think ill get a 12 for me and 410 for my sweet girl.

[@nikkisdad6705]

Great explanation, but….I agree with the comment re the spotlight. You’ve got a very dark gun on a very dark black mat and very poor lighting on the subject. You need a second person operating the camera to get closer to the subject. Again great explanation but too bad we couldn’t see what you’re doing.
