The modern defensive shooter wants a compact platform that doesn’t compromise capacity or handling. The following review examines a pump-action design built to deliver high shell-count, ambidextrous operation, and practical field use for home defense, duty, or range work.

KELTEC KSG 25

Capacity and layout

The KELTEC KSG 25’s standout feature is its extended dual tube magazines that hold a total of 20 three-inch 12 gauge shells, plus one in the chamber. That level of on-board ammunition removes frequent reloads from high-stress scenarios and provides flexibility to load different projectiles in each tube. At a listed price of $1,079.99, it positions itself as a high-capacity, compact option within the Pump Action category. Shop this product to see current inventory and purchasing options.

Ambidextrous design and ergonomics

KELTEC’s patented downward ejection system is a practical solution for left- and right-handed shooters — it ejects spent hulls down and away from the face and support hand. Combined with a 38″ overall length (OAL) and a 30.5″ cylinder bore barrel, the platform stays more compact than many traditional shotguns while maintaining a full-size bore profile. The pump-action cycle remains familiar and robust, with the benefit of easier manipulation under stress and the ability to use a wide range of 12 gauge three-inch loads.
