Summary: KSG shotgun with a ProMag forward grip attached had a failure with the forward grip. This caused the shooters hand to come forward and be hit by part of the blast from the shotgun. He is suing both Kel-Tec and ProMag.
My Thoghts: From what I read in the attached article, there does not appear to be any failure in the shotguns construction or design. It says the "polymer nipple" that holds the grip onto the rail sheared off. That is a a failure on the part of the ProMag grip. I can see suing ProMag, but not KelTec. I also want to speak about the shooters failure to follow one of the basic rules of gun safety. He had his finger on the trigger when he was not aware of what was in front of his muzzle. Page 3 of the manual states clearly "Never touch the trigger when working the action." The shooter is at least partially responsible for this accident.
