I think you'll really get into shooting and then wish you had bought a Beretta instead. Boondock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samw Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 there is a lot of bad press about the escort but i am a big fan of them i had mine a nearly a year now and never had a prob with it me and ryan was claying once and ryans fireing pin broke on his over and under so we both used my hatsan never put a foot wrong as long as u point it in the right place they are fine and keep the ports clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Ive had one for about 6 months now and use it 3 times a week with no problems. It is a workhorse so if it gets scratched you wont worry too much about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the running man Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I've had 2 of em,- had nothing but trouble with the luaxano model in 8 shot,but the 3 shot black plastic one was great,its a pig to clean,most gas ones are,I've only cleaned my benelli action twice (I do the barrel regularly) inertia driven easier to clean and has never jamed on me. U will wish u got something else tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonySmith Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 It's the Marmite syndrome...love them or hate em, I brought a new LH Escort, I did look for a SH LH Beretta as 1st choice, the Escort has not let me down,came with 3 years warranty, they are a bit rough n ready, bit of a 'procedure' to clean as with all gassers. I only use mine for rough shooting. ATB Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batch Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I have been using my second hand Hatsan for the last few months to save the O/U for game and clay shooting! Apart from the odd jam and misfire, they are a pretty steady gun for someone just starting out in shooting, plus the low cost is a bit of a bonus. But if you are anything like me, after a few months you will be looking to upgrade to something along the lines of a beretta, benelli etc. Horses for courses really!!

steve_b_wales Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I've got the 8 shot FAC one. Only had a slight problem recently, which I think was my fault. Under warranty. so no cost incurred. As mentioned, they are a workhorse. If mine gets scratched, then Im not going to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrie Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Hiya, I'm a total newbie as regards Shotguns, and this afternoon was out with my mate...I had a few tries with his Hatsun Escort 3 shot, and liked it loads...light, and responsive on the trigger.... he bought it new, and has'nt had any problems with it at all....
