Big 5 sale

[EddieEd]

Big 5 is having a sale and I just paid for an Escort MP-A/S shotgun. It was on sale for 419.99, with the 10% off coupon they email me it come to 377.99.
Paid 444.09 with tax, dros and a 25 rd box of shell.
I don't think it was too bad for a Semi auto shotgun.

Any one own or dealt with the Escort MP-A/S before?
Anyone got any info, suggestions or advise?

FYI - Read Below.

"Just got back from the Twin Pines outdoor range in SC with my Escort MP-A. Due to my sore shoulder and my desire to get pics of some real Buckshot and Slug patterns from an indoor range, I only ended up only shooting 390 assorted rounds. After I zeroed the sights for buckshot I proceeded to do an informal function test with various ammo between 15-25 yards. Below the different ammunition types with thier reliablity results.

100 Rounds - Federal 2 3/4" 1 1/8 oz #8 shot (Wally Word Speacial) - zero malfunctions
60 Rounds - Winchester 2 3/4" 1 1/8 oz #7 1/2 shot (Wally Word Speacial) - 50% Failure to Eject or Failure to cycle
65 Rounds - Wolf 2 3/4" 9 Pellet 00 Buckshot - zero malfunctions
40 Rounds - S&B 2 3/4" 12 Pellet 00 Buckshot - zero malfunctions
30 Rounds - Fiocchi 2 3/4" 27 Pellet #4 Buckshot - zero malfunctions
30 Rounds - Nobel Sport 2 3/4" 9 Pellet 00 Buckshot - zero malfuncitons
30 Rounds - Nobel Sport 2 3/4" 27 Pellet #4 Buckshot - zero malfunctions
10 Rounds - Federal 3" 15 Pellet 00 Buckshot - zero malfunctions
5 Rounds - Nobel Sport 2 3/4" 1 .650 RB - zero malfunctions
5 Rounds - Fiocchi 2 3/4" 1 oz Exacta Aero Slug - zero malfunctions
5 Rounds - Fiocchi 2 3/4" 1 oz Exacta Aero Slug (Low Recoil) - 100% Failure to fully cycle
5 Rounds - Brenneke 1 oz K.O. Slug - zero malfunctions
5 Rounds - Remington 2 3/4" 1 oz Slugger (Low Recoil)- 100% Failure to fully cycle

So far so good. I think this weapon is well suited for its intended role of home defense. It simply works very well no matter how fast you pull the trigger. Just don't expect it to cycle low recoil ammo or cheap birdshot 100% but anything full power should work just fine."

Thank for the info.
Now I'm wondering if the cheapo box of 2 3/4 1oz 7.5 shot will work with this gun. Oh well, I got 10 days to find out.
The box was only $6.50 so it won't be to big of a lost if they don't work to well.
