I've had an Escort for about 4 years although mine is in 9mm, not .45acp. It's been boringly reliable and with the alloy frame makes for an easy carry. Mine hasn't had any ammo issues. I've used Speer Gold Dot and Hornady Critical Duty with no issues. For the range I've run WWB, Atlanta Arms, and Freedom Munitions (new and reman) with no issues. Like all STI pistols it's very well made. Tight, very smooth, accurate, and a very nice crisp trigger. I carry it confidently in an IWB holster from TT Gunleather. It rotates with two other STI pistols. In the spirit of full disclosure I'm an STI fan. I carry STI, shoot them for fun, and compete with them in IDPA and USPSA.
