Why Left-Handed Hunters Choose the ESCORT PS Auto (M5)

• True Left-Hand Configuration: Port, ejection, and primary controls mirror a right-hand gun for natural cheek weld, cleaner sight picture, and no hulls crossing your face.

• Versatile 3" Chamber: Run everything from light 2¾" target loads to hard-hitting 3" waterfowl shells (per manufacturer guidance), making one gun cover clays, upland, and marsh.

• 28" Vent-Rib Barrel: A long sighting plane and smooth swing help with lead and follow-through on flushing birds and crossing targets.

• Proven Gas System: Self-regulating gas operation tames recoil and cycles a broad range of payloads reliably—ideal for high-volume practice and mixed hunting seasons.

• M5 Camo Finish: The low-glare camouflage breaks up the gun’s profile in blinds and timber while resisting moisture, mud, and abrasion.

Note: Included choke tubes, shim kit, and front sight style can vary by shipment—verify what’s in the box for this SKU.

Field Advantages You’ll Notice

• Faster second shots for southpaws: Left-side ejection and controls reduce distraction and hand gymnastics for quicker follow-ups.

• All-day comfort: Gas operation + modern recoil pad design (verify pad style) = less fatigue during long walks or big duck pushes.

• Pattern flexibility: Multi-choke compatibility lets you tune patterns for upland, waterfowl, turkey, or clays with quick swaps.

Ideal Use Cases

• Waterfowl & Marsh: 3" capabilities plus camo finish for low visibility and weather resistance (use steel-rated chokes as appropriate).

• Upland Birds: 28" barrel balances smooth transitions from close-in quail to stretching on late-season roosters.

• Trap/Skeet/Sporting: Gas system reliability with common target loads and a rib that promotes clean, level gun movement.

Quick Patterning Plan (Get Dialed Fast)

1. Start with IC or Modified: Improved Cylinder for close cover, Modified for general upland/clays; waterfowl often starts at Modified with steel.

2. Pattern at 35–40 yards: Fire three shots per choke/load, checking density and evenness.

3. Record your winners: Note brand, shot size, velocity, and choke that deliver your preferred core/outer ring performance.

4. Adjust fit (if shims included): Use shims to fine-tune drop/cast for a left-hand point-of-impact that mirrors your mount.

Care & Maintenance

• Post-hunt routine: Wipe exterior, remove barrel, and clean the gas system per the manual. Lightly lube bearing surfaces.

• Choke tube care: Clean threads and apply choke tube grease to prevent seizing—especially after salt or muddy hunts.

• Seasonal check: Inspect fasteners, sling studs, and any optic/rail screws (if added) and re-torque as needed.
