Escort BTS12 Bullpup 18" Semi-Auto 12 Gauge Shotgun 3", Blk – HEBT12180301

If you like this style this is the best value in my option and ran anything I put through it. I ran cheap game load right out of the box and ran 100 rounds without a single jam or stovepipe.

Right price, compact, variety of options in setting up, three Chokes, good solid shotgun, and great reviews, above all it's available. Will feed and fire 2 3/4 and 3 in shells. Easy breakdown, and extended warranty available. It's a little over 8 lbs, but most shotguns carry some weight. I am very happy and found a source for 10 round mags. Also comes in 410 gauge.

Great gun for the price. Make sure you buy "hot" ammo for it because cheaper ammo with lower velocity may not work as well. I also bought 10 round magazines (double the fun)!

Love it. Don’t get discouraged the few times you shoot standard target loads. After a few mags my handles all ammo fine.

Runs great! Light recoil. Use the shells with the tall brass, short brass bottoms tend to fail to eject. Fun little shotty.

Great gun! I took the rail off right away and put a sig romeo on it for deer hunting. Work out awesome. Plus its just a fun gun to shoot.

Great SA BP SG. Easily disassembled while blindfolded - yes it's really that simple and easy. The carrying handle is removeable. Chokes are replaceable (comes with three). And, with the soft buttpad and semi-auto action, it's very comfortable to shoot.

Cycles excellent with hot buckshot and slugs. Muzzle rise as expected, but little felt recoil, which was not expected.

Beyond my expectations for the price. Very fun shotgun to shoot with very little recoil. My daughters even shot around 70 rounds without getting a sore shoulder. With the short overall length and ability to customize, it makes a good home defense or range recreational gun. Everything is smooth and tight. Only issues was when firing some very light trap loads causing a few failure to eject/feeds. No problem at all with better ammo. Also of note is when using smaller shot I recommend

Much better than I thought. Well designed, small weight and easy to handle. Must use high velocity shells (at least 1335 or 1550 fps) 5 Stars gun

Excellent bullpup shotgun. Came with extra sights, chokes, tools, etc. Right on target out of the box. Very solid and ergonomic.

This weapon is awesome to shoot! I was a bit sceptical at first due to being a left handed shooter, but amazingly surprised that I did not get hit with ejecting cases. Great weapon, great fun at the range with my sons.

Well made, rugged, too tight bolt release, safety needs to be carefully marked red and white (I did it myself with metal detail paint), sling available as 'accessories' would be nice, instructions need to include dimple must be aligned with facing 'slot' for outer spacer ring. All in all it is a rugged and well made field shotgun. I'm pleased.

this thing is ASSUME With the low recoil even the wife likes shooting it all most didn't get it back after she shot it. Only problem i have had is some federal shells not cycling switched to the winchesters i have laying around and no problem. Now i need bigger mags lol

The escort bst12 bullpup 18 is everything I was hoping for. Well balanced smooth operation. Perfect for my home protection. I’m very happy with Palomino armory

So far, I have enjoyed shooting the BTS12. Getting used to the balance is weird, but that was to be expected. My main issue is depending on the ammunition being used is the problem with FTE issues. With target load, at least every other round is not fully ejected, with 00, probably 1 in 5 are a stovepipe. I have thought about polishing the feed ramp to see if that would help, just haven't had time yet.

Break it in and keep it oiled. Find the right ammo and train with it. I feel like it's the best bullpup out for price, size, recoil. I have a few bullpups so I know. Use Rio 00 birdshot 00buck and Slugs. 1330-1470 FPS. High brass or at least mid.

Great weapon! Ran 150 rounds through it, no issues. Amazing results at an affordable price. I highly recommend this weapon.

Received it two days ago and already sending it back to Escort for warranty work. The choke-brake and barrel cap are frozen on. They are supposed to just unscrew to inspect the barrel nut prior to using. Escort told me various steps to try to unscrew them including using a screwdriver thru the holes on the brake. I'll update this post pending manufacture fix.

Put a couple hundred rounds through this gun and 0 hiccups. Slugs, buckshot, bird shot. 3” & 2 3/4” all cycle flawlessly. A ton of fun to shoot. 10 round clips available on-line as well. MK
