    Hickock45's review was flawless. Maybe it was because he wasn't wearing multicam clothing and all of the "tacticool" gear -- and hadn't covered his example with stickers... :wink:

    Even if it was reliable, what a crummy design. Why would they put the slide release in such a bad place and make a goofy shell selector?

    This is exactly why I never jump on the first production run of even a combat blade. I want to see the longer term stats of how the weapon works. This....from someone beside some half-assed gun writer that actually gets paid(+ perks) to ensure the weapon comes thru with flying colors.

    I love the concept of this weapon. I will own one if the reliability issue ever gets straightened out. Are the Kel-Tec's still coming ?? They could possibly be mo-bedda. --- SAWMAN

    My question is why pump action? I would think a reliable semi would fit the bill? Then again I own only one shotgun..

    Yeah, I am pretty happy with my Saiga 12. I have no problems shooting birdshot and buckshot on the heavy load gas port setting and I have never had any problems out of it.

    You can't condemn a gun based on one bad example.

    If the company doesn't make it right, and make it run... that is another story, but they should be given a chance.

    @ilitner, I spoke to my gun guy and theres been several comments made to him on the UTS on Feed problems and ejection problems from people that own them, they seem to be particular on what ammo they are fed. So i personally am gonna wait. The Saiga I had ate anything and everything without a Hiccup. Thats why Im getting another one.
    Plus why spend that amount on a pump when the Saiga Auto is cheaper and you can get Hi Cap Mags for them. I believe I can get out 16-17 rounds with 1 mag change as fast as having to pump that many with some practice. I'll give it high marks on the cool factor and the intimidation factor, but, not at that price.JMHO

    I don't know a ton about them, but I am anxious to check out out. I have seen at least one video of one running properly, so hopefully the problem is easily identified.

    Seems to me that Keltec's inability to mass produce their designs is leaving a slot open for guns like this.

    I can't bring myself to spend the kind of money that Saiga 12ga shotguns are bringing these days, its just too much for what they are. I do however kick myself thinking about how I didn't want to spend 4-500 on them "back then".

    You misread, I was comparing it to the KSG and saying that since Keltec can't provide enough, it leaves people looking at guns like this instead.
