    I have a 14" 590A1, a 14" Fabarm Pro Forces and now a 11" STF/12 coming... no need to sell anything. If you have a 14" 590A1 you'll probably get more than you paid on the EE, as no more of these are coming in, from what I've been reading. Comparing the Fabarm to the Mossberg is night and day... both work as they're supposed to but the Fabarm also has the fit/finish to match. The 590A1 is workmanlike and the finish leaves a little to be desired.

    If the STF/12 is as good as the Pro Forces (I'm sure it'll be even better), I'll be very pleased.

    20" 590 unfortunately. Got it for the 8+1 capacity but damn that thing is heavy. Its still a weapon when its empty. Thats why im looking at the 11" stf but $1,300 is pretty steep for a pump action 12ga.

    It is, but you get what you pay for. Also, with so few in country, I don't think you'll lose any money on an STF/12 if you decide to sell it on the EE. I go on the EE regularly and have never seen an STF/12 ever listed for sale. A 20" 590 is plentiful here but the shorty shotguns are not.

    Getting a little off topic here, but if the shell capacity is the sticking point, 4+1 or 5+1 may not do it for you.

    I may opt to get the breacher and +1 extension in the future for my Compact Initial... will have to see what I think after I receive it.

    That reminds me.... Something is in the back of the safe needing to be held and lubed.
