The Kel – Tec KSG shotgun pretty much revolutionized the way we view shotguns. It has a unique look and feel, and it is a very modern piece of weaponry. The KSG comes with rails, designed for accessorizing and customizing. There is one important accessory that has nothing to do with the rails, though.
Packmayr: known and trusted
One of the fundamental teachings of firearms is the importance of a shooter’s stance. Without the proper stance, the chances of the bullet hitting the mark are not as good. When you plant your feet firmly, and when you have a good grip on your weapon, your shots become that much more accurate and effective.
How to Find Comfort While Shooting
The way to achieve this stance is, first of all, being comfortable and familiar with your weapon. This comfort is achieved mainly through consistent training, but there is also a basic comfort that can (and should) be part of the weapon to begin with, regardless of range time. For this reason, Pachmayr have produced the Decelerator – a slip-on recoil pad. This product is the top choice for many shooters, amateur and professional alike. It turns the shooting experience to a much more pleasant one. When it comes to shotguns, some of them carry a lot of recoil. The Pachmayr Decelerator is produced in several sizes, in order to accommodate various weapons. It can be installed quickly and easily, and no gun-smithing is required.
Various Sizes of Pachmayr Decelerator
Pachmayr has released several versions of its recoil pad:
- Small size, fits stocks 1-1/2″ to 1-5/8″ wide and 4-3/4″ to 4-7/8″ long
- Medium size, fits stocks 1-1/2″ to 1-3/4″ wide and 5″ to 5-3/16″ long
- Large size, fits stocks 1-3/4″ to 1-7/8″ wide and 5-3/16″ to 5-7/16″ long
This pad works well, and it gets the job done. It is easy on the shoulders, and with a relatively lightweight shotgun like the Kel – Tec KSG, you need to have that protection. Nobody wants to come home shoulder-bruised from a day at the range, and the recoil pad can help a great deal in relieving the pressure put on the shooter’s shoulders.
Different Fits
The small size slip on pad is large enough for the KSG, and it fits very well. This recoil pad is designed to fit within .050 on an inch on factory stocks. It will enhance the way your weapon looks and feels, and that can certainly improve your shooting experience. Like any other factory-made shotgun stock, the KSG’s stock can become annoying and distracting. It is made from very hard material, and that is not necessarily what you want to be using when you are at the range. Good to know there are alternatives.
Shotguns normally carry more of a punch than any ordinary 5.56 caliber rifle, like an M4 or AK-47. They recoil quite a bit, and because of this you will need a more aggressive stance when firing a shotgun. You want to be in control of the weapon, not the other way around.
