Escort Shotguns Introduces the Slugger and Slugger Tact

Designed with simplicity, durability, and affordability, the purpose-driven Slugger and Slugger Tact are tailored to meet the demands of shooters looking for dependable performance in home defense or sporting applications. Whether protecting what matters most or looking for a field-ready companion, the Slugger series delivers function without compromise.

The Slugger is built for both security and sporting use. Chambered in 12 gauge with a 3" magnum chamber and an 18" barrel with a fixed cylinder choke, the Slugger is engineered for maximum versatility with both shot and slugs. The oxidation-resistant chrome-plated steel barrel is proof-tested at the factory to ensure maximum durability, and its alloy receiver is built to withstand harsh use in real-world conditions. A rugged synthetic stock and forend, soft rubber buttpad, and fixed blade front sight round out a configuration ready for the field, the range, or the home.

For those seeking a tactical edge, the Slugger Tact offers all the core strengths of the original Slugger with purpose-driven enhancements. It includes a rubberized ergonomic pistol grip for superior control, a 5-shell holder integrated into the buttstock for rapid reloads, and a Picatinny rail on the forend for mounting optics or lights. Like its sibling, the Tact features an 18" chrome-plated, proof-tested barrel, a 3" magnum chamber, and a rugged alloy receiver. With its soft rubber buttpad and fixed blade front sight, the Slugger Tact is suited for close-quarters engagements and fast target acquisition.

Both shotguns feature a 5+1 capacity tube magazine, manual cross-button trigger safety, mounted sling studs for carry flexibility, and overall lengths of 38". Weighing in at 6.4 lbs (Slugger) and 6.5 lbs (Slugger Tact), each shotgun is lightweight enough for fast maneuvering, yet tough enough to take a beating. Escort designed every component with a purpose—no frills, just proven materials and a platform that gets the job done.

What sets the Slugger series apart is not just its durability or tactical features—it is the focus and appreciation of practical simplicity. Escort has streamlined the pump-action mechanism for smooth cycling and low maintenance, making both models perfect for first-time owners, experienced shooters, or anyone who values reliability under pressure. These shotguns deliver confident performance from hunting brush to guarding the homestead.

At price points that respect the family budget, the Escort Slugger and Slugger Tact deliver serious value without sacrificing performance. Built from quality materials, proof-tested at the factory, and backed by Escort’s commitment to reliability, these shotguns are a wise addition to any firearm safe, whether for protection, sport, or survival.
