Left-handed shotgun buyers know the struggle: most guns are designed around right-hand ejection, which means brass flying across your face and controls in all the wrong places. The Escort PS Auto in left-hand configuration fixes all of that. This is a true left-hand shotgun with a mirrored receiver, so spent shells eject away from your face and the controls land right where your hands naturally fall. At its core, the PS runs on Hatsan's SMART Valve Piston gas system, a self-regulating design that automatically adjusts gas pressure based on whatever shell you feed it. You can run 2 3/4-inch light target loads and 3-inch magnum waterfowl shells out of the same magazine, back to back, without the gun complaining.
Hatsan built their FAST Loading System into the PS, and it's one of those small details that matters in the field. The loading switch doubles as both the carrier latch release and the bolt release when the bolt is locked back, so you can top off and get back on target without fumbling around or breaking your shooting stance. It's a practical little feature that experienced hunters will appreciate after a long day in the marsh.
The 28-inch barrel is proof-tested and chrome-lined using chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel, which resists oxidation and makes cleanup easier after a wet day. It rides on a black anodized aircraft alloy receiver with an 11mm groove for optics mounting if you want to run a red dot. The black synthetic stock is checkered at the grip and forend for a secure hold even with gloves on, and it ships with stock shims so you can dial in drop and cast to fit your build. A rubber recoil pad handles felt recoil, and mounted sling studs are already in place. Tube magazine holds 4+1 rounds, with a magazine cut-off system that lets you swap the chambered shell without dumping the magazine. The 5-choke Optima system (Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder) gives you pattern flexibility for everything from squirrels to Canada geese.
This is a genuine left-hand configuration, not just a reversed stock. The receiver itself is mirrored so that spent shells eject to the left, away from a left-handed shooter's face. Controls are also positioned for natural left-hand operation, which makes a real difference in fast-paced field situations.
The SMART Valve Piston gas system is designed to self-regulate across a wide range, from 7/8 oz light target loads all the way up to heavy 2 oz 3-inch magnum shells. Because the system automatically adjusts gas pressure for the shell being fired, you can mix load weights in the same magazine without needing to manually swap components or worry about short-cycling on light loads.
The Escort PS 12 gauge uses Hatsan's Optima choke system, which is compatible with Beretta Mobil and Benelli Mobile-pattern chokes from several aftermarket manufacturers including Muller. It is worth double-checking compatibility by contacting the choke manufacturer directly, since bore dimensions can vary slightly from standard Remington-pattern tubes even when threading looks similar.
The gun ships with stock shims that allow you to adjust both the drop and cast of the stock to better fit your face and shooting style. This is a feature you typically see on higher-end shotguns, and it makes a noticeable difference when you are trying to get a consistent cheek weld and sight picture.
Yes, the Escort PS barrel is chrome-lined and proof-tested, and the included choke set includes Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, and Modified chokes that are rated for steel shot. For steel shot use, you should stick with the more open chokes and avoid running steel through the Full or Improved Modified tubes, which is standard practice regardless of shotgun brand.
On most semi-auto shotguns, the carrier latch and bolt release are separate functions requiring separate controls. Hatsan's FAST Loading System combines them into a single loading switch, which serves as the carrier latch release during loading and as the bolt release when the bolt is locked back on an empty chamber. The practical result is that you can reload with one hand and without shifting your grip or changing your shooting position.
