Back in the 90’s when George Kellgren was leading Grendel Arms, he came up with the idea for a bullpup high capacity pump shotgun. Sound familiar? This is not the KSG we know today. The KSG is a dual magazine tube fed pump shotgun chambered in 12 gauge. The [Read More…]

The Kel-Tec RDB and M43 recently made their first public appearance at the Bullpup 2014 Convention in Kentucky. I spent the better part of an afternoon shooting both rifles from bench rest and offhand at targets ranging from 7 yards out to 300. As a long-time Tavor [Read More…]

I am not sure if this is real life imitating art, however there does exist a gold cerakoted KSG. This was a limited run, from what I was told by the owner. The pictures does not do the paint job justice. In person, the paint has almost a pearlescent luster to it. The [Read More…]
My friend sent me a message on Sunday night. “Would you be interested in some bullet proof glass?” He then sends me this picture. “They are 2 inches thick.” I immediately said yes and that we can test them the next morning. They were left behind [Read More…]

At a recent gun show in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I made an impulse purchase. The Kel-Tec PF9. I had been looking for a sub-compact pistol, and wanted something light, thin, and most importantly, reliable. I had considered a Glock 26, but the shape was just too [Read More…]
