Good looking ergonomically pleasant 12 guage that performs perfectly and the price was ridiculously good, something I've come to expect from BUDS. Haven't been able to find anyone that can match these guys. I still don't trust magazine fed shotguns, but this pump is perfect for home defense. God me a belt with 40 shells and I'm pretty sure my home is secure with this beauty. 5 Star Weapon for a 2 Star price. Thanks BUDS.

The Escort Slugger Tactical 12 Gauge Shotgun is a great value. This shotgun out of the box has a smooth action. I've ran a box of 00 buck and a box of slugs through it and experienced no jams. It held a good pattern with the buckshot and fired slugs like a rifle. I have no complaints or problems with this shotgun.

It looks great, it shoots great, only minor issue is the slots for extra shells in the buttstock, as others have said, they are tight.

I was blown away on how this shot gun preformed with various 12ga rounds knowing that it wasn't that expensive. Perfect shooting at targets and small game and you can shoot all day without shoulder fatigue, at least it did not brother me. Give it a try you really can't loose for the price!

Excellent shotgun especially for the price. Have not had it long but seems well built and with quality materials. Friend of mine recently purchased a similar shotgun from a name brand manufacturer for a lot more money and while the Hatsan may not have all the bells and whistles it suits my needs perfectly. If you are looking for a well made, no frills shotgun the Hatsan Escort is the gun for you.

I already had one of these slugger shotguns I bought about a year ago. These are amazing home defense guns and animal deterrent around the house. I put a LED flashlight and a laser on my first one and then I bought these others two just because I like them so well , and wanted my friends to be able to enjoy them!! Buds has been great and I will keep buying from them. Pricing is unbeatable.!!!

I ordered mine last Sunday night, and it arrived at my FFL dealer Thursday morning, which was quicker than expected. Took it home and disassembled it, wiped everything down, and reassembled. Easy-Peasy! I couldn't believe how solid and well built this shotgun is, yet it is so light. Feels a like it's a couple pounds lighter than my old Winchester Ranger. It is small enough to fit in a small rifle case. Stashed it behind the seat of my work van Friday morning. After work, stopped by some public hunting land and took her for a spin! Blasted some old logs with a box of SLUGGERs, and a box of POWER SHOKs. The Remington slugs did okay, but the Federal were more accurate. Put 2 slugs through the same hole at 15 paces! I couldn't be happier with this shotgun, and for such a low price! ONLY complaint, is that with this shotgun being so light, the recoil is a bit nasty. The slugs I fired were all 2 and 3/4 inch. I'm bit reluctant to shoot 3" mags out of this gun for fear of losing a filling, but we'll see! THANK YOU BUDS for selling such a good product at a great price! I might just buy a 2nd one if the wife would approve.

if you don't have thousands to spend on a 12 gauge for home defense this shotgun could be a start for you.

The shotgun has been great so far. Slugs and buckshot shoot great. Taking it apart and cleaning it's a breeze. To use the extended tube mag. Just remove the rod and you are ready!

Can’t beat it for the price. It seem to be built well, the stock/forarm are hard plastic, the fit/finish is good, it cycles very smooth, and there are a few companies offering aftermarket parts. Buy it to stash away for an emergency.
