Shopping for a gun for youth, anyone have experience with the Mossberg & Tristar to compare?
Other options? Will shoot handloaded tss loads

Anyone shot the escort PS youth 410?

I have the tristar viper g2 .410. It's a full size gun. They might offer a youth model with shorter stock.
I have had no issues. It's like a lazer at 30 yds. Starts to fall off at 40 yds. Tss 9.5s what I shoot.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240131/2e58a3d2e13c626f1f9bf82741a2cbeb.jpg)

I have the SA 410 Turkey model. It is not a youth gun and has a 14 inch length of pull.
I have read very good things about the Escort 410. They make that in a youth model.
I held the youth PS20 and it is a very nice gun. I was impressed by the Escort fit and finish and if I hadn't already purchased a semi 20, I would have bought the gun.

I have both the Tristar 410 and Escort 410 ... The Tristar overall is somewhat better in the overall makeup of the gun... The Escort has a mounting rail for optic / red dot coming off the barrel.... Both are fine guns and I can take either one of them... BUT... if I were buying another one it would be the Tristar .... Now both of these are full size stocks .. Tristar is pistol grip and the Escort is non pistol grip ....

Figured as much by the price. Would you do the same if it was for your 5-6 year old?
Any idea if anyone make a youth pistol grip stock with adjustment shims as they grow?

Mossberg makes one with shims for the stock in 410 but again you will just have to search and see if anyone has one in stock... But it's not a pistol grip...
I have an escort youth 20ga and love it. Don't know if they make a 410 youth. Gas operated and low recoil. My 10 yr old grandson can handle it no problem. Also have a tristar viper 410 that kicks less. He's killed 2 birds with that. I didn't really notice the stock being longer.

Notice much difference in quality/function?

Not that I can tell, both function perfectly. I also have a Winchester sx3 20 ga I'm thinking of selling because I like the escort so much better. It's shorter and lighter!
The escort youth model comes with shims to add length as well as shims to change the angle of the stock.They also come with four choke tubes.They are not bad guns for the price not pistol gripped just regular stock.
Shot a couple boxes of 2.5#4s through the escort 410 with no problems then tried federal and apex tss very satisfied with the apex at 40 yrds.

I have one on order, I'll try to update everyone when I get. I reached out and am trying to order a turkey barrel for it as well. Not sure which choke to go with yet.

What choke are you using out of your gun?
