Description
Left-handed shotgun options have always been slim, and when you do find one, you usually pay a premium for it. The Escort Supreme Auto changes that. This is a true left-hand shotgun with a left-handed receiver, which means brass ejects away from your face instead of across it, and controls are positioned where they actually make sense for a left-handed shooter. Chambered in 12 gauge with a 3-inch magnum chamber and a 28-inch barrel, it's at home on a 5-stand course, walking fields for pheasant, or doing double duty as a waterfowl gun.
What Makes the Escort Supreme Auto Worth a Closer Look
The heart of this gun is the Smart Valve Piston gas system, and it's not just marketing talk. It's a self-regulating design that automatically adjusts to whatever you feed it, from 7/8 oz light target loads all the way up to 2 oz 3-inch magnums, without you having to swap out any parts or mess with adjusters. That's a big deal when you're switching between dove loads in the morning and duck loads in the afternoon. The Fast Loading System adds to the package by letting you top off the tube magazine one-handed without changing your shooting position. Five steel-shot-compatible chokes come standard, covering Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder, so you're set for nearly any game or range scenario right out of the box.
The Turkish walnut stock is a genuine highlight. It has a glossy finish with checkering on both the grip and forend, and it's paired well with the black anodized aircraft alloy receiver. The stock is also adjustable, with three spacers to dial in length of pull and four shims to set your drop and cast. A rubber recoil pad takes the edge off, and with the gas system doing its job, felt recoil on this gun is notably soft for a 12 gauge. The 28-inch barrel is topped with a 7mm vented rib and a HiViz Spark fiber optic front sight, and the receiver features an 11mm groove if you want to add optics. The barrel itself is proof-tested and chrome-plated Ni-Cr-Mo steel, built to handle both shot and slugs.
The Escort Supreme Auto Left Hand in the Field
Put some rounds through this gun at the range or in the field and the balance comes through quickly. The weight sits close to center, which gives it a natural swing that tracks moving targets well. A magazine cutoff system lets you fire single shots without feeding from the tube, which is a handy feature for selective shooting situations. Sling studs are already mounted, so adding a carrying sling takes seconds. Whether you're a lifelong lefty who's been compromising on right-hand guns, or someone finally picking up a proper fit, the Escort Supreme Auto is a well-featured platform at a price that doesn't punish you for shooting from the port side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a true left-hand shotgun or just a left-hand stock?
This is a genuine left-hand shotgun built with a left-handed receiver, not just a stock swap. That means the ejection port, bolt, and controls are all configured for left-handed operation, so spent hulls eject away from your face rather than across it. It's a real southpaw gun, not a workaround.
What loads will the Escort Supreme Auto cycle reliably?
The Smart Valve Piston gas system is self-regulating and designed to cycle both 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch shells, from 7/8 oz light loads up to 2 oz magnum loads. You don't need to adjust any valves or settings when switching between load types. That makes it a flexible choice whether you're shooting clays with light target loads or hunting with heavier field loads.
Can I add aftermarket chokes to the Escort Supreme?
Yes, aftermarket options are available. The Escort Supreme uses Hatsan's V3 choke pattern, and companies like Trulock make aftermarket tubes specifically for this platform. Note that standard Remington-pattern chokes may not drop in due to slight dimensional differences, so it's worth confirming compatibility before purchasing third-party tubes.
Is the stock adjustable for fit?
Yes, the Turkish walnut stock comes with three spacers to extend the length of pull and four shims to adjust stock drop and cast. This lets you dial in a fit that works for your build and shooting style without needing a custom stock. The rubber recoil pad is also removable to accommodate the spacers.
What is the Escort Supreme Auto good for in the field?
With a 28-inch barrel and a 3-inch magnum chamber, it's well suited to upland hunting, waterfowl, and sporting clays. The five included choke tubes cover a wide range of applications from open patterns for close flushes to tight constrictions for longer passing shots. The gas system also makes it comfortable to shoot through extended sessions compared to inertia-driven or pump alternatives.
Does the barrel handle steel shot?
Yes, all five included choke tubes are rated as steel shot suitable, so you can run non-toxic loads for waterfowl without needing to buy separate tubes. The barrel is chrome-plated Ni-Cr-Mo steel and proof tested at the factory, which adds to its durability with steel and other hard shot types.
