ads03ads Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Well guy's your not going to belive this!?! I went to my local gun shop yesterday morning and left with a shinny new Escort and do you know what? I put three boxes of cartridges through it and it didn't blow up, it didn't fall to bits and more importantly everytime you pulled the trigger it went bang, threw the empty cartridge away and even loaded a new one with no problems at all!!!!!! I guess there are a few good ones out there I'm well chuffed with it Well enough bragging about my new super expensive gun!!! I'm off to have some more fun with it.

Frenchieboy Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I've heard that those Escorts are being re-named "Hang Over Guns" cos you can use them much easier when you have a hang over as they don't tend to go "BANG" so often as others!

Dekers Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 They have had a vast amount of justified bad press, there are loads of dissatisfied owners and there are those like me who have been through seriously dangerous experiences with them. Taking everything into account I understand there have been "some" improvements and by the law of averages some must work. ATB!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeh Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Your getting mistaken, the most complaints where not about the fact was that it got very picky on 'some' cartridges, not all. Firing 75 of one of the compatible cartridges isn't proving anything, starting firing a bigger selection of loads and you'll see if what they say is true or not.

berettaman Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Each to their own lads,you pays yer money and takes yer chance and if they were that BAD surely some safety expert would have had them pulled from general sale by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads03ads Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Well another outing out with the escort and I'm still alive, still got all my fingers and even managed to bag some pigeons Only put 1 box of carts through it today but still no jams, Bleeh I take your point regarding different loads etc it would seem the escort likes the carts I'm using and the good thing is I like using them too, so no worries eh. I guess time will tell, I'm going to keep an open mind about the gun, so far I love it in time that may change who knows? The important thing for me is to form my own opinion of it, I'm sure there are bad examples of them around but that will go for anything on general sale, it seems mine works ok so for me money well spent for others maybe not, as said earlier "you pays your money you take your choice" Cheers guys Ads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Iv'e got one, 3" Magnum no problems at all. Mine is the newer model i believe, it has no loading button on the side, load up and press the slide underneath. I only use 32 gram though.
