Ok,
I picked up two KSG's on Friday, and ran one of them today in a local 3 gun. All I had time to due was to relube it, throw a crappy chinese Eotech clone on it, and sight it in at 7 yards before the match started.

Came to the shotgun run stage(Had to limit slug loadout to 6), 15 rounds of birdshot for plates, total of 21 rounds....

Ran through the slugs no problem, 1st 2 slugs at 50 yards, next two at 30, last two at 15 all from cover. No issue, realized after first shot, the slug was hitting low, adjusted, and ran slugs no problem..

Then stopped for coffee while I rammed 14 rounds into the dual tubes plus 1 in the chamber to complete the last portions of the stage without reload..

Gun ran great, no issues, other than I wasn't counting rounds until I heard the right tube click empty...

So my initial comments and suggestions:
1. Nice design, with size I am familiar with (I run a SBR mp5, the KSG is shorter, LOL) and I am gigantic 6'6

2. Is there anything that can be done about the shells bruising my wrist on ejection. I knwo I have zero seat time with this gun, but I have a nice reminder of what 21 shots rapidly ejecting looks like

3. Who has some engineering background and mill access to design a selector lever that allows us to switch mag tubes without much grip manipulation... I know there has got to be something a little faster.....

All in all, fun day with the new toy...

Start the shoot with the selector on your strong hand side. If your right handed and you start from the right tube you should be able to flip the the lever with your thumb without really changing grip too much. Try it and see how it feels. When it switches over to the full from empty it should be a easy push with your thumb. Easier to push than pull. That's how I run it. As far as the bruising that comes from training while trying to tuck in tight. Hold your elbow slightly out from your body. Should be able to clear your arm with no issues :)

I'm hoping American ingenuity will bring us many upgrades to this awesome shotty like they did on the saiga 12.
An ejection port deflector would be nice, I agree. I tend to tuck as I'm used to that with all my bullpups, it adds stability, in fact the Tavor has a 6 point hold and tucking is one of them.
