    I am in for one in NR. I thought I had my heart set on a Grizzly but changed my mind when I actually picked one up...

    Hatsan is cheap feeling in comparison.

    These trump an 870 easily. I've used many pump guns Fabarm is king.

    One of the best features, for me, is the iron sights on the Fabarm guns. They're simply fantastic.

    I have never heard of a fabarm being considered cheap or a knock off.

    This was also my understanding... I learned this from the AR180B as well as Beretta CX4 days.

    I think it's still too short. It might be just long enough though.

    The pistola ( 11" ) is 23" overall add the 3" of barrel and you're up to 26". Hopefully it's not under 26".
    Muzzle brake doesn't count for barrel length but it does count for overall length.

    For the pinned and welded it does under 1 condition it was manufactured that way ie the muzzle break was made into the barrel and is part of the barrel meaning it can be welded to do that as it's part of the barrel. Or they can cut a muzzle break into the barrel it self on the end as they make it.

    I have a CX4 storm with a 18.5 inch barrel it's 30 inchs long with no muzzle break and with it adds 3 more inchs. If they messure to the end of the break they don't take into count the threads on the barrel or inside the action.

    Pictures don't do it justice. I wish you may have the pleasure of owning a Fabarm Martial, as I did. It is very well made, the only other gun I have owned that gave me a similar sense of quality is my Browning Hi-Power pistol. I have handled Hatsan shotguns, and I expect they work as they should and I think they may be worth their price, but they look better in pictures than in person.
    Today could be the last day of the rest of your life.
