So does the KSG. The KSG also is certified to shoot 3" magnum slugs. The SRM may also be able to shoot these but I don't see it listed.

The KSG has one big thing I noticed over the SRM. The KSG is legal in all 50 states, the SRM is not. The SRM unfortunately is classified as an assault weapon due to it's semi-auto and high capacity design. Some states have restrictions on how much ammo such weapons can hold and since the civi model SRM only comes with a 16 shell magazine this makes the SRM illegal in these states until SRM releases low cap magazines. Keltec was originally going to make the KSG semi-auto but they wanted the gun to be 50 state legal which is why they went pump action instead.

Also look at the price. The couple websites that I found that has a SRM 1216 listed are asking $2,400. For another $100 I can buy 2 Benelli M4's and the couple KSG's I've seen are going for $800.
