Description

Left-handed shotgun options have always been slim, and affordable left-handed semi-autos are even harder to come by. The Hatsan Escort PS Auto addresses that gap with a purpose-built left-hand receiver, not a mirrored stock slapped on a right-handed action. That distinction matters because the ejection port, bolt handle, and controls are all configured for southpaw operation, so spent shells go where they should instead of flying past your cheek. The 20 gauge configuration with a 3-inch magnum chamber and 28-inch barrel is a versatile setup suited to upland bird hunting, sporting clays, and waterfowl. The barrel itself is built from nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel with a hard chrome-plated bore and exterior black chrome finish, making it resistant to corrosion and easy to clean after a rough day in the field.

What Makes the Escort PS Left Hand Worth a Closer Look

The heart of the PS is Hatsan's SMART Valve Piston system. It's a self-regulating gas piston that automatically adjusts to the load being fired, cycling reliably across 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch shells from light 7/8 oz loads all the way up to 2 oz magnums. What that means in practice is you can mix light target loads and heavier hunting loads in the same tube magazine and the gun keeps running. The FAST Loading System is another nice touch, combining the carrier latch release and bolt release into a single control that speeds up loading without having to break your shooting position. The alloy receiver features an 11mm groove for optics mounting if you plan to run a red dot or scope for slug work. A magazine cut-off system also lets you swap the chambered round without cycling the magazine, which is a handy feature in the field.

Fit and Field-Ready Details on the Escort PS 20 Gauge

The synthetic stock and forend are checkered for grip and come with four stock shims for adjusting drop and cast, so you can dial in a fit without a trip to a gunsmith. The TrioPad rubber butt pad helps tame felt recoil and includes spacers to extend length of pull as needed. Mounted sling studs are already in place, a detail some manufacturers skip at this price point. The 4+1 tube magazine can be reduced to 2+1 with the included migratory plug for waterfowl season. Five interchangeable choke tubes come in the box, covering Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder, and all are rated for steel shot, so waterfowlers are covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a true left-hand shotgun or just a left-hand stock on a right-hand action?

The Escort PS Auto Left Hand is built with a dedicated left-handed receiver, not simply a stock swap. That means the ejection port, bolt handle, and operating controls are all configured for left-hand shooters. Spent cases eject to the right, away from a left-handed shooter's face, which is the key difference between a true left-hand gun and a cosmetic workaround.

What load range will the Escort PS Auto cycle reliably?

The SMART Valve Piston is a self-regulating gas system designed to cycle 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch shells ranging from 7/8 oz light target loads up to 2 oz magnum loads. Because it adjusts automatically to the pressure of each shell, you can mix different load weights in the same magazine without manually adjusting a gas valve. As with any gas-operated shotgun, keeping the gas system clean is the best way to maintain reliable cycling across that whole range.

Can I use steel shot with this shotgun?

Yes. All five included choke tubes are rated for use with steel shot. When shooting steel, you should use no tighter than a Modified choke, which is standard practice with any shotgun, and the Escort PS comes with the appropriate choke options to cover waterfowl hunting scenarios.

Does the Escort PS 20 gauge left hand come with choke tubes?

It ships with five choke tubes covering Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder constrictions. All five are steel shot rated. A choke wrench or key for installation is also included with the gun.

Can the length of pull be adjusted on the Escort PS?

Yes. The TrioPad rubber butt pad system includes spacers that allow you to extend the length of pull to better fit your body. Additionally, four stock shims are included to adjust the stock's drop and cast, giving you some meaningful fit customization without any aftermarket parts or gunsmith work.

Is the Hatsan Escort PS a good option for upland bird hunting and sporting clays?

The 28-inch barrel and 20 gauge chambering make it a natural fit for both upland hunting and clay target games. The lighter 20 gauge is easier to carry in the field all day, and the gas-operated action helps soften felt recoil compared to an inertia gun or pump. The five included chokes give you the flexibility to adjust patterns for everything from tight woodcock covers to longer crossing shots at clays.
