About the Hatsan Escort AimGuard

The Hatsan Escort AimGuard is a Turkish pump-action shotgun built for home defense and tactical use. Chambered in 12 gauge with a 3-inch magnum chamber, it pairs a short 18-inch cylinder-choked, hard-chrome-lined barrel with a five-round tubular magazine, an aluminum receiver and a pistol grip. Variants ship with a fixed polymer stock, a top-folding metal stock with a spare shell holder, or a pistol-grip-only configuration.

Hatsan's Escort line gave the Turkish arms industry an affordable foothold in the American defensive-shotgun market, with the compact AimGuard positioned as a budget alternative to established pump guns from Mossberg and Remington.
