Overview
The Hatsan Escort BM12 is a tactically configured pump-action shotgun chambered in 12 gauge with a 3-inch magnum chamber. Built around a black-anodized aircraft-alloy receiver and an advanced polymer pistol-grip stock, it feeds from detachable box magazines offered in 2, 5, 7, and 10-round capacities. The 18-inch chrome-plated barrel wears a fixed cylinder choke and flash suppressor, while a ghost-ring rear sight, fiber-optic front sight, and Picatinny and forend accessory rails support the addition of optics, lights, and lasers for home-defense and tactical use.
