Why Left-Handed Shooters Choose the ESCORT PS Auto 20ga
True southpaw design: Port, ejection, and primary controls are mirrored for a natural left-hand mount—no more hulls crossing your face or compromised cheek weld.
Manageable recoil, faster follow-ups: The proven gas system softens recoil and cycles reliably across common 20-gauge loads, helping you stay on target for clean second shots.
28" vent-rib for smooth swing: Longer sighting plane and even weight distribution support better leads on flushing birds and crossing clays.
Versatile 3" chamber: Run light 2¾" target loads for practice and 3" field loads for pheasants or late-season ducks (use steel-rated chokes as appropriate).
Weather-ready build: The low-glare black synthetic stock and finish shrug off rain, mud, and truck rides from opener to the last flight.
Heads-up: Included choke tubes, shim kit, and front sight style may vary by shipment—confirm what’s in the box for this SKU.
Field Advantages You’ll Notice
Confidence for new & seasoned southpaws: True left-hand ejection makes the gun feel “right” from first mount, improving sight alignment and consistency.
All-day carry comfort: 20-gauge platform + gas operation = lighter, softer-shooting shotgun that’s perfect for long upland walks.
Pattern flexibility: Multi-choke compatibility lets you tune patterns for quail, grouse, pheasant, wood ducks, dove, and clays with quick swaps.
Ideal Use Cases
Upland & small game: Quick handling in CRP, hedgerows, and timber edges with forgiving swing dynamics.
Waterfowl (close-to-mid range): With proper steel-rated chokes and 3" loads, it’s a capable teal/wood duck rig.
Trap/Skeet/Sporting: Reliable cycling with typical 20-ga target loads; rib promotes level gun movement and clean follow-through.
Youth & recoil-sensitive shooters: Softer recoil profile encourages good fundamentals and more enjoyable range sessions.
