The ESCORT® SDX is part of ESCORT’s Versatile Tactical Shotgun (VTS) series. This modern sporting style shotgun is available in either 12-ga or .410 cal in black or FDE Cerakote. No matter a user’s preferences, the ambidextrous operation, ergonomic design, and customization make the entire SDX platform perfect for a wide variety of applications.

The SDX shotgun is designed for rugged reliability and a comfortable shooting experience. Hatsan's patented ThermoDefend forend absorbs and dissipates heat from the barrel while offering a comfortable, controlled grip on the weapon, while an active buffer tube helps absorb recoil. The SDX utilizes a synthetic polymer lower receiver with an alloy magazine well to help reduce unwanted weight without sacrificing performance.

The 12-gauge’s SMART Valve Piston is chambered to accept 2 ¾" and 3" shells and will cycle them interchangeably with no external adjustments required by the shooter. The SDX 12-gauge models feature an 18" barrel with removable chokes, including an extended cylinder bore choke brake that helps tame recoil with heavy shot or slugs. Standard full and improved cylinder chokes are included, with other options available from HatsanUSA.

The .410 cal SDX features a 20" barrel with an integrated choke suitable for both shot and slugs. This model offers the same recoil-absorbing characteristics as the larger caliber models, making this shotgun extremely smooth. Also shipping with two 5-round magazines, this gun features a spare 3-round magazine stored in the buttstock. The gas piston operates similarly, cycling both standard and magnum loads reliably.

The soft rubber ergonomic pistol grip is also removable and can be replaced with a wide variety of available aftermarket options. A carry handle, rear sight, and fixed front sight come equipped on each gun, but the included flip-up sights can be installed for use with or without mounted optics. The forend also features four picatinny rail locations to accommodate essential gear and/or multiple accessories. The SDX also incorporates a removable buttstock with an elevation-adjustable cheekrest, allowing shooters to get a perfect fit. The charging handle is reversible to allow for ambidextrous operation.

As with all ESCORT shotguns, the barrels are proof-tested at the factory to ensure quality and durability. Both models in the SDX series are oxidation-resistant with chrome-plated steel barrels. The hard chrome and Cerakote coatings look great and are built to withstand the harshest conditions. HatsanUSA offers a 5-year limited warranty with all ESCORT firearms.
