Why Left-Handed Shooters Choose the ESCORT PS Auto

• Versatile 3" Chamber: Run everything from light 2¾" target loads to hard-hitting 3" hunting shells (within manufacturer guidance), making this a single shotgun for the range and the field.

• 28" Vent-Rib Barrel: Offers a long sighting plane and smooth swing for better leads on flushing birds and crossing clays.

• Proven Gas System: Self-regulating gas operation softens recoil and maintains dependable cycling across a broad load spectrum.

• Weather-Ready Black Finish: Low-glare protection that stands up to rain, marsh, dust, and truck rides.
