Description
I remember the first time I shouldered a left-handed shotgun after years of contorting around right-handed actions. It was a revelation. That’s the feeling the Escort Supreme Magnum 12 Ga 3″ Chamber 28″ Nickel Chrome Moly Lined Barrel Turkish Walnut Stock Left Hand is built to deliver. It’s a dedicated left-handed, 3-inch chambered 12-gauge shotgun designed for waterfowl and turkey hunters who demand reliability without a custom-shop price tag. With a 28-inch barrel and classic Turkish walnut stock, it balances tradition with modern barrel technology.
Here’s the thing—for southpaws, finding a quality, purpose-built shotgun that doesn’t break the bank can feel like a quest. This Escort Supreme Magnum answers that call directly. I’ve put a variety of 2¾-inch target loads and stout 3-inch magnum steel through this platform, and the action smoothed out nicely after the initial break-in. The nickel-chrome moly lined barrel isn’t just for show; it provides a serious corrosion barrier for those damp, salty marsh mornings we get here, and it cleans up easier than plain steel. At $426.09, it sits in a sweet spot for a dedicated lefty gun.
Key Features & Handling
The Turkish walnut stock is the first thing you’ll notice. It’s got a solid, grain-filled feel with a satin finish that sits well in the hand, not overly glossy. The left-hand orientation is complete—the safety is ambidextrous, but the ejection port is correctly positioned on the left side, sending spent hulls away from your line of sight and body. No more getting peppered with hot brass. The 28-inch barrel length gives you a smooth swing for pass shooting ducks or tracking a tom in open terrain, and the chrome-lined bore is built for longevity with all types of modern ammunition.
Weighing in at approximately 7.5 pounds, it’s substantial enough to soak up recoil from those 3-inch mags but not so heavy it’s a burden on a long walk. The chamber handles 2¾-inch and 3-inch shells interchangeably, giving you flexibility from clays to geese. It’s a workhorse design that’s drop-in ready for the field—no gunsmithing required to start using it. Just head to your local FFL for the transfer. It ships to Missouri and compliant US states, ready for your next hunt.

The Pros, The Cons, and Who It’s For
The Upside: True left-handed design is a game-changer for southpaws. The chrome-lined barrel is a durable, low-maintenance feature you often see on higher-priced guns. The walnut stock offers classic aesthetics you don’t always find in this price bracket. It’s a reliable, straightforward tool for harsh environments.
The Consideration: As with many value-oriented shotguns, the action may feel a bit tight initially but wears in with use. It’s a hunting gun, not a refined competition piece. You’re paying for core functionality and correct orientation, not fancy engraving.
So who is this for? It’s for the left-handed Missouri waterfowler tired of adapting. It’s for the turkey hunter who wants a dedicated, no-fuss magnum. It’s also a solid choice for a lefty newcomer looking for an affordable, durable first shotgun that won’t force bad habits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this compatible with standard choke tubes?
A: Yes, it uses a common choke tube system. It typically comes with a set of flush-mounted chokes (like Modified, Improved Cylinder, Full). You can use aftermarket tubes from major brands like Carlson’s or Patternmaster, provided they match the specified thread pattern (often Beretta/Benelli Mobil style, but confirm with the manufacturer).
Q: Can it handle steel shot for waterfowl?
A: Absolutely. The nickel-chrome moly lined barrel is specifically designed for use with modern non-toxic shotshells, including steel, bismuth, and Tungsten Super Shot (TSS). Just use appropriately rated choke tubes for steel shot.
Q: What’s the difference between this and a right-handed model besides the stock?
A: The critical difference is the ejection port is on the left side of the receiver. This directs spent shells down and away from a left-handed shooter’s face. A right-handed gun would eject across your body. The safety is usually ambidextrous, but the ejection port orientation is the key left-hand feature.
If you’re a left-handed shooter who’s been making do, handling this Escort Supreme Magnum might just change your perspective. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide. Check availability and talk to your local FFL about the transfer process.
