It’s cheap and an escort! Call me a john
How is your shoulder holding up? 😄
You ran out of watermelon
I think I’d land somewhere between the two with a Maverick 88.
Gave $125.00 cash for a used Mossberg 500A in mint condition.
dang this dude fires that shotgun fast
I think everyone should have a shotgun. Nobody sticks around to find out when they hear the click clack.
Favorite cheap shotgun savage 320 … it’s a Winchester 1300 for cheap cheap im guessing they pay for pattons .. 1300 barrels chokes everything fit them 320 savage less than 250$!!!!
I sold firearms and never shot one but the Steven’s 320 seems like a very fine firearm for $140 JMHO I was going to buy one but ended up getting a Mossburg 930 for $125 🙂
Maybe polish the internals.
Hay ben sizin ürettiğiniz tüfeği s**eyim hatsan.
So I just got the Hatsan escort 8 shell holder. I had that exact same problem with the shells not ejecting that well unless you fully commit to racking the slide. My theory is that the ejection port is to sharp and needs to be sanded or trim down and change the follower because the action is a little bocky… but it’s still a great gun for the price, I picked one up for $500 vs a maverick 88 costing $1500 I live in the Bahamas btw
Got my mossberg maverick 88 for $189
My personal preference for a cheaper shotgun is to buy a Mossberg Maverick 88. I have one of the Maverick 88’s, and it is reliable as can be and quite accurate. I’d take my Maverick 88 over one of the cheaper Turkish shotguns any day.
How would the cheap one do against a ninja, assuming the ninja could not be seen?
Honestly, these days, with the Maverick from Mossberg often coming in at, or maybe even less, than $200, there’s no reason not to have at the very least a Mossberg.
And these days I want to support American as much as humanely possible. We need to stop giving money to other countries when we have people in our own that need it.
Does your Mossberg have a bayonet lug?
Got a escort and F Infinity both and 12 G the escort is fine I tack Friends out and Oll can shot with it I like it good value for money no problem with it as well from drambo West coast of Scotland 🏴 🥃
Thanks for the video.Happy new year.
Why does no one ever talk about the Benelli Supernova.. It’s superior to all these and can be had for under $500
My favorite “cheap” shotgun is the Stephens 320 ($229 at Academy Sports). ATA also has a tactical shotgun for a little over $200 that is nice. I’m just the type to pay extra if it looks better but if you just want a shotgun at the cheapest possible price it won’t get better than this.
It’s interesting that the cheapy seems to have better attention to detail, well on the outside at least.
Those Turkish guns costing so little are just a concern for me. I just feel that they’re cheap for a reason and that probably means poor quality. TFB TV has tried to torture test a few Turkish shotguns and they have all failed. I got two 18" pump guns that work just fine, Remington 870 Tactical and a Mossberg 590A1. Both acquired in the $500 – $600 range which is reasonable. I can’t afford a $2000 Benelli M4 but my pump guns get the job done just fine.
I have 2 pump shotguns. The first one is italian Fabarm, the second is Mossberg. Due to the sanctions there are no new american shotguns on our market. But I’d like to say: I better take an old american pump rather a new turkish one. The quality of Hatsan is awful. Most of the turkish shotguns are copies of Beretta and Fabarm, but made of low-quality materials.
i like to have one in 3 1/2 inch shells left handed!!
Interestingly enough I live in a metropolitan area in Maryland so for home defense the Escort isn’t a bad backup weapon 😊
I remember when I was younger and starting a family back in the mid 90’s. All I could afford was the H&R single shot 12 gauge (remember back in them days it was about $50). Now I have a variety of Mossbergs and Remington home defense shotguns. It is nice seeing an option for the young man starting his family in these difficult times. I still recommend the Maverick 88 because they are about $200 up here.
Limbsavers are great and made in my home town!!
My Remington 870 gets breach lock after it gets hot and rapid firing
For some reason James Reeves just cannot get a Turkish shotgun to run, but Hickok has no issues.
I would love to see you review the keltech 12 gauge
I bought a Turkish made 12 gauge pump called the Canuck Canuck Enforcer. Came with three handle configurations, three chokes and a muzzle break and chrome lined barrel with removal tool. $400 tax in Canadian.

Also, as an FYI, since this cheap shotgun never seemed to break in and function smoothly, I decided to just order another one from Bud’s. I just bought one for myself and will see how it compares. Shot it yesterday doing some tree trimming. My first impression after just 15 or 20 shots is that it seems to cycle a bit more smoothly, or at least not tend to hang up. Not sure yet, but I’ll shoot it a fair amount and let you know how it goes.
Part of the problem with this Escort is the strange configuration of the slide grip. It’s like it’s only designed to get a firm grasp when PULLING it rearward. Problem is, it sometimes requires even MORE force to move it forward to make sure you get it fully into battery, and with this design, my hand and fingers want to slip off.
I am not well off money wise but work overtime at amazon during xmas and could not see a reason why i shouldnt spend $440 on a mossberg 590 with the bayonet lug and holds 8 in the tube. Its a beast of a gun that the military trusts so good enough and i dont worry about the cheap aspect. The metal the cheap ones are made of fails after a short while. Ive seen the action pulls on the pump sheer off etc…Not when my life could depend on it.
Buy Cheap, Buy Twice..
if your gonna get an inexpensive shotgun get a mossberg 88
Can you dry fire a shotgun ?
I don’t use a shotgun myself…I prefer using my revolver
I don’t get why people pinch pennies when buying a firearm. Unless you’re getting down to the 100 range and are buying it for the hell of it. I’d say this is in that territory, if you’re only buying a shotgun because it’s cheap. If you’re buying a shotgun to add to your collection, then buy something worthwhile.
I’d love to see you do a video of an AA-12 w/ drum mag
Have you displayed artillery from the Spanish -American Civil Era?
I have a New England pardner, made in china, modeled after an 870. 12 ga, works well for 160$
In Brazil it costs 1,500 dollars and it is almost impossible for you to be authorized to buy it.
It don’t matter if you buy a $200 shotgun or a $2,000. If you don’t practice. You won’t hit shit with either. Oh. By the way. A criminal will not ever ask how much you paid if he hears the shu shuck of the pump while breaking into your house………… 🍻 🍻
The good turkey shotguns are the rock Island armorys
I have a Stevens 320 and to be honest…it’s great. I bought it for grouse hunting and it’s easy to carry for several hours, ergonomic within reason and it sends game loads downrange about as well as anything else. For $150ish, you really can’t ask for anything more.
Hickock, your short strokin that puppy. dont shoot it like the ones you have shot 10000 times, just soot th
I picked up a Stevens clone of a win.1300 security. Great truck gun ,and it’s handled all the abuse I’ve dished out.
No complaints given I paid
