Kel-Tec KS7TAN-GEN2 KS7 G2 Bullpup Frame 12 Gauge Pump 3" 6+1 18.50" Black Steel Barrel, Tan Receiver, M-LOK, Tan Polymer Stock & Grip

The Kel-Tec KS7 GEN2 is a compact 12-gauge pump-action shotgun built on a bullpup frame that punches above its weight in both firepower and portability. If you've been hunting from tight blinds, working defensively in confined spaces, or simply want full-bore shotgun performance without the length, this tan and black two-tone delivers. At just over 26 inches overall and 6.8 pounds unloaded, it handles like a rifle but cycles 12-gauge rounds with the authority of a full-size scatter gun—making it ideal for hunters, sport shooters, and those prioritizing compact home defense without sacrifice.

The GEN2 generation brings a five-slot Picatinny rail molded directly into the forend, letting you mount vertical grips, lights, lasers, and other tactical accessories without adapters or guesswork. A rail cap comes included if you prefer a clean traditional look. The 18.5-inch black steel barrel pairs with a tan polymer stock and grip, giving you a durable, lightweight platform that won't weigh you down during long days afield. Magazine capacity runs 6+1 with 3-inch shells or 7+1 if you load 2.75-inch ammunition, giving you flexibility depending on your load choice.

Build quality is what you'd expect from Kel-Tec: innovative design married to practical ergonomics. The pump action is smooth, the controls are instinctive, and the overall package feels purposeful without unnecessary bulk. Whether you're running buckshot for home security, slugs for hunting, or birdshot at the range, the KS7 GEN2's short overall length and manageable recoil platform make it genuinely pleasant to shoot compared to traditional 12-gauge shotguns of similar capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size shells does the KS7 GEN2 shoot?

The KS7 GEN2 is a 12-gauge shotgun that accepts both 3-inch and 2.75-inch shells. Magazine capacity is 6+1 with 3-inch shells or 7+1 with 2.75-inch ammunition, so you can load either type depending on your needs and preferences.

How short is it compared to a standard pump shotgun?

At 26.1 inches overall length, the KS7 GEN2 is significantly shorter than traditional full-size pump shotguns, which typically run 28 inches or longer. The bullpup frame architecture moves the action rearward, giving you a full-length barrel without the extended overall profile. Despite the compact footprint, it maintains a 13-inch length of pull, so it remains comfortable to shoulder and operate.

Can I mount a light or vertical grip on this shotgun?

Yes. The KS7 GEN2 features a five-slot Picatinny rail molded into the forend, allowing you to attach vertical grips, tactical lights, lasers, and other standard rail-mounted accessories. A rail cap is included if you want to keep the forend smooth and traditional when you're not using the rail slots.

What does the tan and black color scheme look like?

The KS7 GEN2 features a two-tone finish: a black steel barrel paired with a tan receiver and tan polymer stock and grip. This combination offers good visibility contrast and a modern tactical appearance while maintaining practical durability.
