New from Escort Shotguns is the 12-gauge, semiautomatic MPA. Perfect for personal defense and security, the MPA offers shooters the power to meet every application.

The MPA uses Hatsan's Fast Loading System and Smart Valve Piston for smooth operation. The Fast Loading System allows the shooter to do easier one-handed loading with the aid of the shell carrier's integrated release button, which also doubles as the bolt release. Hatsan's Smart Valve Piston uses a self-regulating gas piston, which is capable of cycling both 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells without needing any adjustment by the user.

The tubular magazine design of the MPA allows for 5+1 capacity, and the shotgun also has a two-shell holder in the side of the buttstock. The MPA also has Picatinny accessory rail underneath the fore-end to allow for the easy mounting of lights and lasers, and a soft rubber buttpad helps give the user improved recoil absorption.
