The Escort BTS Bullpup in 12 gauge with an 18-inch barrel (brand part no. HEBT12X180101) is a semi-automatic built in a compact bullpup layout, chambered to cycle both 2.75-inch and 3-inch magnum shells through its Smart Valve Piston system. Escort builds the BTS with a matte black nitride steel barrel, an aluminum and polymer receiver, and a black adjustable synthetic stock, and the reliable gas system cycles loads from 7/8 ounce up to 2 ounce without adjustment, even mixing heavy and light loads in the same magazine. The shotgun feeds from a magazine with a 5+1 capacity and ships with two 5-round magazines, a reversible charging handle for ambidextrous operation, a one-piece carry-handle sight that swaps for included flip-up sights, a Picatinny rail, and Full and Improved Cylinder flush-mount chokes plus an extended cylinder-bore choke brake. Among bullpup shotguns in the semi-auto shotguns category, the BTS favors shooters who want a compact, magazine-fed 12 gauge for home defense.
