Escort PS 20 Youth Patterning
« on: July 07, 2023, 05:03:19 PM »
Patterned my new Escort PS 20 youth, 22” barrel with Apex and Federal TSS #9’s. All shots at 40 yards and pellets counted in 10” circle.  Very happy with the results!
Apex 9 Carlson 575 363
Apex 9 Carlson 565 324
Fed 9 Carlson 575 220
Fed 9 Carlson 565 213

I have a Trulock 585 on the way, I’ll add it on here once I pattern.

I have a trulock 585 in the same gun.  Great even patterns with the apex 1 5/8 #9’s

Another data point showing the inferiority of Federal's FCW.

I shoot the Trulock 585 out of mine with hand loads…you’ll like it. I haven’t counted numbers but it was a good enough pattern for me not try any more.

How is your trigger? Mine is horrible. I have to find something to do about this off-season.

I’ve only shot the gun probably 10 times but I haven’t noticed any issue with it, but I’m also not real gun savy

How do you like the Escort shotguns? I have been tempted to buy one. My son is left handed and we just saw a Charles Daly left hand 20 ga w/ 22” barrel.

I would buy another. The pattern with hand loads and Trulock is strong but I don’t count pellets.

As I mentioned, my trigger has a lot of creep but I’ve only shot it 100 times maybe so that could improve over time. I’m going to replace it.

I agree. Its a good gun for the money. I got lucky with my trigger, its exceptional. The fit and finish leaves something to be desired but is a cheap gun. Not a fan of the magazine cut off switch.
