UTAS UTS15 vs. Keltec KSG & The Ins and Outs of Firearms & Firearm Politics for the Uninitiated

Via Oleg Volk

 UTS15 (left) and KSG (right) are similar in specifications but quite different in design.

In dual-Magazine, Action 12ga pump bullpups, UTAS and Keltec are as close to Direct competitors as They can be. They have very similar specifications and almost identical MSRP at just under $ 1,200. Neither since Shotgun is common in stores (Though My Neighborhood store has the Elusive KSG in stock now), I'd like to Provide A Side-by-Side comparison of the two.

Capacity: Both shotguns hold seven 2.75 "or six 3" shells in each of the two magazine tubes. UTS15 tubes are on the top and so more accessible, but the follower has to be manually depressed before the first shell can be loaded. Its magazines cannot be easily topped off while partially loaded. KSG has to be held upright or upside-down for loading, but can be topped off mid-string. During firing, the UTS15 can be fed selectively from the left of the right magazine but can also alternate automatically between the left and right magazines, while KSG feeds from one magazine only and has to be switched manually after the first tube is empty. Both shotguns can be fed directly to the chamber, but it's easier with the KSG.

Weight: Both guns weigh about 6.5 pounds and carry a full pound of ammunition. Recoil is brisk but moderated by effective rubber pads. The straight stock configuration keeps the muzzle rise to a minimum despite the light weight.
