Kel-Tec RDB // Shot Show 2014

SHOT Show 2014 Announcement - TheArmsGuide.com

January 15, 2014 by Brian (Rev) Norris 5 Comments

Kel-Tec RFB

Each year at the SHOT Show, there are always a few releases that truly surprise me, (A single stack Glock in .380?) and conversely, there are offerings that just make sense. This year has its share of both categories for me. Two examples of predictable releases originate from Springfield Armory.  A new 1911 Range Officer in 9mm? Yes. That makes sense to me. The longer barrel option offered for the XDS 9mm platform (XDS 4.0) isn’t a reach either.  But, on the other side of the spectrum, Kel-Tec has surprised me with one new gun in particular this year. The Kel-Tec RDB is a ambidextrous, downward ejecting bull pup chambered in .223/5.56. Now that is one rifle configuration that I didn’t expect from Kel-Tec. Although I’m pleasantly surprised, one has to wonder how effectively the release will be managed and  how well the rifle will perform given the issues reported with the KSG. What is your impression of the Kel-Tec RDB?

    Is it seriously going to eject downward? There’s virtually nowhere on a bullpup like that for it to do that!

    Its probably real nice but it is a kel-tec so I figure I will probably never see one in person, just like the PMR-30 and the KSG.  Until they ramp up production all I have to say is eh.
