Should I buy one?

[st1264]

Been waiting for about a year for these suckers to show up again... Fabarm Professional STF/12 series shotguns, 11" barrel, 12 gauge 4+1, fixed stock, Non-Restricted. Pricey but in short supply and are just plain cool. There is also a NR 16" version with folding stock...

STF/12 Compact Initial:

or

STF/12 Compact w/rail and fiber optic ghost ring, breacher and +1 extension (5+1).

Here's the STF/12 Compact in action for those of you who don't know about it... (folding stock would make it Restricted, therefore only the fixed stocks were imported with the compact models).

Yes, yes you should.

If you have been waiting for them to show up again ; you might as well buy one before they disappear again...

Just put my order in. I bought the base model (no folding stock though):

Already have the 14" Pro Forces with the LPA ghost ring/fiber optic sights and rail so I didn't go for the fully loaded one.

Wise choice ; you would be kicking yourself if they would have sold out again while you were thinking about it....it has happened to me many times...

Congratulations! Life is far too short to deny yourself.

There's very little in the way of good reviews and videos of the STF 12 on the net. Any chance you'll be posting a review and maybe a comparison between it and your 14" Pro Forces?

What if you buy one and the compacts that's you've been waiting for show up?

I've been for them myself, I'd rather get what I really want than settle for next best

Nice, once you have it in your hands make sure to take some good pic and let us know how it shoots. Those Fabarms are so nice, love my full length pump action.

Are you looking to get one?

i like the fact that the trigger guard is big enough for gloved hands . this is a point that never gets enough attention in cold climate use of a firearm.

Good point... here's an Italian review on the STF/12 Compact line. Wish that nickel version makes it's way over here, that's a beauty! If anyone speaks Italian, please post some bullet points from the video if you can.

Looks like my STF/12 Initial is shipped and my approximate delivery date is on Tuesday...
