Safety Reminder: KSG

[DC-W]

Someone in Arkansas pretty much lost their left hand when the polymer VFG broke off of their KSG. As always, be deliberate, but careful.

If you need a reminder of how careful to be, there's a photo of the man's hand linked in the article.

The gun is a huge turd, but people blowing their hands off? Wow.

ETA, It could he the FVG Mfgs fault and not the Keltec. Still Keltec KSGS are turds.

The linked article in there claimed it was a ProMag Archangel grip.

The KSG owner is like, you dawg, I puts a vertical turd on my horizontal turd. Check it yo!

Buy promag garbage, and that is what you get. In 20 plus years of gun ownership I have bought 1 thing from promag. A saiga drum. After the 5th malfunction on the first drum load, i set the thing down range and put 10 slugs into it. Ordered MD Arms drums and never looked back. I will never own another pro mag item as long as I live. Oh....fvck KelTec too. Their machining looks like they cut monkeys loose on manual mills to make their parts.

Hmm, anyone else notice the shooter was wearing a Fire/EMS shirt?

Gross.

My fault. You told me what it was, I read the story and the warning and I clicked the link anyway.

I've heard they had problems but what exactly are they? Shame, that gun could be awesome.

So what happens if I tell you NOT to look up blue waffle or lemon party?

Wonder if they somehow managed to save his hand; or part of it.

the shotgun is an effective flesh removal tool... sadly this person removed his own flesh, due to almost entirely stupidity, stupid to put bad equipment on your firearm, stupid to not be in control of your firearm, stupid to not be in control of your own body, stupid to have a gun you can reach in front of and fire it with your hand in front of the muzzle.

They just don't function smoothly or reliably. I'll admit, the idea is cool but Keltec just didn't pull it off.

Sounds like their vertical grip broke and their hand went forward of the muzzle at the time of discharge.

I can't help but think there would have to be multiple levels of, well, let's just call it "negligence", to shoot yourself in the hand with a pump shotgun.
