In fact, it is so subtle that it is hardly noticeable. The Kydex is close enough to the polymer on the gun that it looks perfectly at home. The lines compliment the lines of the gun. The overall look of the piece is very much in line with the aesthetic of the KSG.

And a bit cooler, too, when the KSG gets good and warmed up. Not that you think about it much when you’re shooting, but it isn’t a really comfortable feeling. The factory configuration leaves a chunk of bent aluminum, naked on the back end of the gun. After all, it is simply a piece of Kydex shaped to fit over the stock/receiver of the KSG.

This was the one I thought I would like least. Yet there are two other options that seem much more subtle, but are really nice extras. There are some basics, like a set of Magpul MBUS, that are essential.

But I kept reading about people making some basic modifications, and raving about the results, so I figured it was my professional responsibility to look into the options. Except for the absence of iron sights, I liked it just fine the way it was. The gun is super compact, and very ergonomic. I have to admit that I was a bit dubious about customizing a Kel-Tec KSG.
