Looks (from the pictures I have seen) like the UTS-15 ejects out the right side only which kills it for us lefties. I guess I will be getting a KSG as it is a bottom eject.

Quoted: ME. WANT. SO. BAD. There is an auction on gunbroker. Last I looked there were 36 left Note the seller is UTAS the American manufacturer. Not a pre-order scam. They are building them rite now. Carefully and slowly as they ramp up production. Shipment in about 3 or 4 weeks. Once these are gone I suspect there will be a wait until you see one at your LGS I got one |

The thing I did like about the UTS-15 was
Top Loading with a hatch on top door each tube. Makes it easy to do a tactical reload, (as if you really need more than 14 rounds) Loading the KSG always looked clumsy having to turn the thing upside down and tilt it on the side you are loading. OK the KSG's bottom eject is way cool, but Im not a lefty so not really an issue w me. I really like the UTS-15 shotgun automatically feeding from alternate tubes. fire 15 rounds without reaching back and inside the gun to flip a switch. I do wish it was as short as the KSG, but it is really just 1 1/2 inches longer. and it is no heavier. Internal light and laser is kind of cool. The UTS-15 has been in production, and selling and in the field for over a year. Just not here in the USA. Oh and here is a biggie. The first I ever heard about the UTS-15 was last week. And I already bought one and its being shipped in 4 weeks. I have been waiting on a KSG to come available at MSRP for seams like a year. with no end in sight    |

I am seriously thinking about ordering one. The KSG was on my list, but I am leaning towards the USG. I shoot right-handed, so the side eject doesn't matter to me. My Ithaca is a bottom ejector and I've fumble on a shell that slipped under my feet more than once.

I like innovation, getting tired of people doing the exact same thing over and over. This thing looks awesome.
Regrettably though, I will not be getting one as I was graced with the evolutionary gift of Southpaw and don't like eating shotgun shells. |

I read on another thread that UTAS-USA is making 200 bullpups rite now to sell on GB to individuals (34 left)
Then they are Going to be selling through distributors. Im probably going to have mine before any show up at your LGS. I figured my SN to be between 140 and 160 somewhere. Plus people buying these first 200 from GB get a free set of sights. |

Without having handled either, I like it a HELL of a lot more than the Kel-Tec.
Bring this thing to the US. If it can manage to pass the import crap and I can get it in California, I will buy it as quick as it hits the shelves or I can order it. /edit Love the narration on the video. Where in the galaxy or universe did they get Duke Nukem to do the voice over and how did they get him to do the awkward. pauses. mid. sentence... /edit Okay, now I have read the full thread and realize the damn thing is available for sale. Time for me to determine if it's Ca. legal or not. |

"And with the Magazines above the Barrel, Muzzle climb is almost NonResistant" I think that was supposed to read "NonExistent" as in "muzzle climb is almost NonExistent" |

I want to know more about the stock/receiver section that the pump/slide operates on.
Is it similar to that of a Glock with imbedded steel rails for parts to cycle on? Is there any metal in the lower or is it all synthetic? Watching the detail strip video it is hard to determine what the material is that the pump/slide cycles on. Durability wise, I'm wanting something that approaches that of an 870 as opposed to, well, something HiTech-like. |

Based on the videos that I found on youtube, the top of the mag tubes are open. Wouldn't that be a magnet for debris or crap falling into the mag tube? It might be a deal breaker for me.

When the KSG first came out I got on a couple of pre-order lists
One site had them for sale at a price under MSRP so I signed up and paid with my CC Number 81 on the list. 6 months later I was down to number 74. They just were not getting the KSG from their distributer. I canceled my order and thought about buying one on GB, but they were selling for $1200 to $1300 still. Just couldn't see paying that for an $800 MSRP gun. I pretty much gave up on owning a KSG for the next one or two years. Then I saw the UTS-15 being sold direct from the manufacturer. with a ship date of 4 weeks being sold at MSRP of $1200 with a free set of iron sights which drops the price of the shotgun about $150. Now Im thinking Im actually getting the gun for $1050. Plus it comes with a muzzle flash breaching choke. Thats extra. Plus it loads from the top which seamed less awkward than the bottom loading KSG. Plus It will feed the entire 15 rounds without having to manipulate a switch. I liked that feature too. So I ordered one. I can easily see the UTS-15 attaining the popularity of the KSG and selling for a premium. In fact I toyed with the idea of getting 2 But in conversations with UTAS-USA I learned a Lefty version was coming out, and a semi auto version was being worked on, and even a 44 mag version was being considered. So I figured Id better just get the one and save my money. |

Unless I can't see properly, the tubes are only open when the top cover is up. Which you would only do when reloading. How is brush going to get in?

ah, I must of confused it with the Keltec (KSG), which has 'indicator' holes in the tubes.
Although the same appears to apply...the UTS has a slot the full length of the tubes, unless I am not seeing it correctly. Arguably since I not longer live near the Shawnee Natn'l Forest, brush isn't much of an issue compared to sand/rock.

This 'feature' seems like s dumb idea I have been hunting many times in thick brush And I somehow always manage to slip through without getting myself or my equipment tangled up In brush. If you refrain from cramming little sticks and pebbles into The openings of your gun you should be Ok. If the gun is intended as a home defense shotgun The chances of fouling the magazine tubes With twigs and stones is somewhat reduced because The shotgun will be stored and deployed indoors. If you do take the UTS-15 outdoors I recommend not tossing it into a brush Pile or into a gravel or sand pit. Or a lake. Just sayin. |

Thus I haven't had anything in my tubes while in the thicket. & I am known to lay a gun on the ground, I dont look for a 'table' while outdoors; I do the same with other tools too. If it was optional, I'd do w/o the round indicator on this & the KSG That's my point. |
