Fabarm XLR 5 Velocity ?

I shot it last May. I flinched so many times with it, ugly. The trigger pivot point is not near the rear but somewhere near the middle, so when you pull back, nothing happens! While it handled well, the piss poor trigger configuration was a real pain.
Get yourself a Beretta and forget about it!

I have a fab arm xlr5 and I love it, I was going to get a Benelli, but after handling the fab arm, and then the benelli then the xlr5 again, I just couldn't put it down, the balance is second to none, the factory sights are great, and the gun has proven very reliable, even with the worst (light) target loads. As far as the trigger, I didn't notice a problem with it.
 
at this point i cant recommend a Fabarm. I had my XLR for 2 weeks and its already sitting at the gunsmith, Choke tube cross threaded. The 2/10 goes in and out perfectly, went to shoot trap so I removed the 2/10 and tried to go to a 9/10, got stuck halfway and wouldn't go any further, same with the 7/10 and 5/10. Tried the 2/10 again and went perfect, so again i tried the 9/10, this time it got stuck and wouldn't come back out. I didn't even force it in, went smooth and then just stopped. Threads where clean so that wasn't the problem

That and I sent the dealer i bought it from a few emails and they still haven't responded to any of them, so dont expect any help if it needs warranty work.

But other then that they handle perfectly.
 
They do handle well but they are a Fabarm. Anyone that has been shooting for a time knows their history. Unoff said, get a Beretta!
