KELTEC
KelTec is one of the top firearm manufacturers in the USA and one of the largest in the world.
They specialize in innovative designs and are proud to have pioneered concealed-carry handguns in the United States, starting with the P11.
KelTec was founded by George Kellgren in 1991. George has designed every firearm produced since that day under the guiding principle that these machines should be innovative in their design and exciting to use. His passion for and dedication to creating innovative firearms enabled him to achieve the American Dream.
George Kellgren, also the chief engineer, is a Swedish designer who designed many earlier Husqvarna, Swedish Interdynamics AB, Intratec, and Grendel brand firearms.
KelTec has been developing and manufacturing various firearms, ranging from semi-automatic handguns to semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.
KelTec strongly supports the individual right to keep and bear arms as defined in the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
THE KSG410
Introduced at SHOT Show 2023, the KelTec KSG410 is a pump-action bullpup shotgun, chambered in .410 gauge, that features the best of the KelTec KSG and KS7 models.
The KSG410 is the world’s lightest, thinnest, and shortest 410 bullpup shotgun. It features the dual magazine tubes of the KelTec KSG and the fiber optic sight system of their KS7.
During KelTec’s founder and chief engineer George Kellgren’s earlier work at Grendel firearms, he designed a .410-gauge pump-action bullpup shotgun called the GSG-41, which never saw production. Some features of that weapon, along with some improvements, made it into the KSG410.
The KSG410 features side-by-side double feeding tubes, a single port for loading, and a downward ejection port. The controls are ambidextrous for the left-handers out there.

THE VERDICT
The KSG410 bullpup is an excellent addition to your armory. Whether for hunting, plinking, or home defense, the KSG410 is chambered in the low recoil .410 gauge, so even the little people can shoot without the fear of 12-gauge recoil.
