About the Escort Gladius

The Escort Gladius is a gas-operated semi-automatic tactical home-defense shotgun introduced in 2014 by Legacy Sports International. Built on a CNC-machined aircraft-grade aluminum-alloy receiver with an upper Picatinny rail, it pairs an 18-inch cylinder-bore barrel and muzzle brake with a fully adjustable ghost-ring rear sight and an elevation-adjustable fiber-optic front sight. A black polymer stock with a cushioned vertical pistol grip, adjustable comb, and two-round shell holder, plus a lengthened tri-rail forend, round out a defensive package offered in 12 and 20 gauge.
