The KS7 is designed for many applications, but it lends itself perfectly to home defense, back country hiking or anywhere you need a compact 12 gauge shotgun. Its intuitive, simple features, optional Picatinny-style rail and M-Lok accessory mounting solutions make it very versatile. Capacity - the KS7 might be short and slim on the outside, but it's long under the hood, its 18-1/2 inches magazine tube holds 6+1 or 7+1 depending on your choice of shell size The 18.5 inches barrel gives you plenty of 12 Gauge velocity to maximize the performance of your preferred loads Carry handle - at 1st glance, you'll notice the KS7s throwback feature, the carry handle, sometimes old ideas are reinvented to serve modern demands and that's definitely the case here The KS7 carry handle also doubles as a sighting solution and it comes standard, it shoulders nicely and the fiber optic bead sight immediately catches the eye Bullpup design - you get extra capacity and standard velocity in a shotgun that's just over two feet long, we kept the business end right where it's supposed to be, but we took the party out back With rear loading and downward ejection, we're able to keep the KS7 a 12 Gauge micro-beast that's easy to handle
