vole Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 what do you guys think of the hatson escort. ive jist bought 1 You would not think that such an innocent question could spark such controversy on a forum . I think they are ok , as long as you do not expect Beretta quality from a cheap gun . I use the pump action Escort so do not have cycling issues saying that .

fenboy Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Just as well you brought it before asking peoples opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Just enjoy the gun that YOU treated yourself because YOU liked it, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks They are cheap guns that do the job, as long as that is all you want then you'll be satisfied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poorpeet Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Even after getting a new Browning 725 my Escort is still my favorite :yp: . Which is a ****** considering how much they both cost to buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the poacher Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 ive just bought a brand new semi auto escort and i,m really happy with it,like mentioned regular cleaning and you wont get any problems, in my opinion each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Series Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I think they are a very good auto for what you pay, both my brother and I have one and seem to fit well. I clean mine religiously and my brother hardly ever, and they both have performed very well. My Escort has jammed twice in the 12 months I have owned it, both instances I was shooting in torrential rain! and my brothers has yet to jam, which is a surprise really considering how neglected it is. I believe the mk1 Escorts were quite poor, but the newer versions are much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzthompson Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I love mine, i still reach for it more than my silver pigeon Ive had it for about 7 months, had about 3 jams. Keep it clean, keep the piston clean (and the bit on the barrel the piston seats in) and you will be fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
