Finding a shotgun that fits a young hunter is half the battle, and the Escort PS Youth from Hatsan solves it without cutting corners. This is a true semi-auto in .410 bore, which means the gas system soaks up what little recoil the .410 produces to begin with. The result is about as gentle a shooting experience as you can put in a new shooter's hands, and that goes a long way toward building good habits instead of a flinch.
The black synthetic stock comes with three spacers and a soft rubber butt pad, so you can set the length of pull short for a smaller shooter and add spacers back in as they grow. That grow-with-them setup is a big reason parents keep coming back to this model. At right around 6 pounds with a 41-inch overall length, it's easy for kids to carry through a field or hold steady on the bench without wearing out early.
Hatsan's FAST Loading System lets you top off the magazine with one hand, and the loading switch doubles as the bolt release, which keeps things simple for someone still learning the manual of arms. The SMART Valve Piston is self-regulating, so it cycles everything from light 2-3/4 inch loads up to 3-inch magnum shells, and you can even mix them in the same magazine. The 22-inch chrome-lined barrel wears a ventilated rib and brass bead up front, and the aluminum alloy receiver has an 11mm groove milled in if you ever want to add an optic for squirrels or turkey.
Five choke tubes come in the box, from cylinder all the way to full, so this shotgun handles clays, small game, and pest control around the property. A magazine plug for migratory bird hunting and sling studs round out the package. For a first shotgun, or just a lightweight .410 that runs like guns costing quite a bit more, the Escort PS Youth earns its spot in the safe.
Yes, that's one of its strong suits. The SMART Valve Piston is self-regulating and designed to cycle everything from light 7/8 oz field loads up to 2 oz magnum loads in both 2-3/4 inch and 3 inch shells. You can even mix heavy and light loads in the same magazine and it will keep running.
The shotgun ships with three stock spacers that install between the stock and the rubber butt pad. Run it with no spacers for the shortest fit on a smaller shooter, then add spacers back in as they grow. It's a simple job that only takes a few minutes with basic tools.
Yes. The aluminum alloy receiver has an 11mm dovetail groove machined into the top, so you can add a compatible red dot or scope without drilling or tapping. That's a handy option for squirrel hunting or turkey duty where a precise aiming point helps.
It's one of the best routes to go. The .410 is already the softest-recoiling shotgun bore, and the gas-operated action on the PS Youth softens it even further. Combine that with the shortened, adjustable stock and light 6-pound weight, and a new shooter can focus on fundamentals instead of fighting the gun.
