New for 2020 is the new Escort Slugger Series of pump-action shotguns. This durable security shotgun is available in two styles. The Slugger is a synthetic-stocked, ergonomic grip, scattergun with textured grip panels for use in multiple environments. The Slugger Tact is the tactical, pistol-gripped variant for even better control and versatility. Available in 3-inch magnum 12-gauge, either Slugger model comes in a durable, all-weather, black finish.
Designed with durability and simplicity in mind, the Escort Slugger is built to work hard. The fixed-blade front sight is large and easy to find in low light but isn’t as delicate as a fiber sight. Mounted sling studs provide solid attachment points for a variety of slings and tethers. The extended pump handle is easy to operate and doesn’t require extending one’s natural reach during use. Coupled with a fixed cylinder 18-inch barrel, the 5+1 capacity offers the right combination of portability and competence. A soft rubber buttpad absorbs recoil and improves shooting comfort.
The Tact model additionally features a soft rubber pistol grip with contoured finger grooves and an extra sling mounting point. The buttstock provides an improved cheek weld and space to hold 5 additional shells for greater carrying capacity. The forend also provides space for extras via way of a Picatinny accessory rail.
