Overview
The Escort Slugger is an ergonomic, synthetic-stocked pump-action 12-gauge introduced for 2025 as a no-frills defensive and utility scattergun. It runs a fixed-cylinder 18-inch chrome-plated barrel with a 5+1 tube, an extended pump handle, textured grip panels, and a large fixed blade front sight that is easy to pick up in low light. At just 6.4 pounds with mounted sling studs and a soft rubber buttpad, it is pitched for the range, home defense, and competition. A tactical variant, the Slugger Tact, adds defensive furniture.
