Plenty of other offerings out there with a 12" barrel and a full stock. I myself am very smitten with the uniqueness of the sub-660mm OAL length here for a number of reasons. I have owned just about all of the other similar models over the recent years, (Ricol, Armed Trimmer, currently have a Lazer XO12, etc.), and in all my million hours and miles of carrying them through the bush have only once gotten a little too close to a bear. I'm glad I didn't have to use it and I'm even more glad I had something on me just in case, but the reality is for 99.999% of that time I was carrying it and not shooting it. So small, short OAL and light are all very appealing to me. I have given a fair amount of thought into crafting some sort of drop leg holster for ease of carry, but even my customized 26.5" model was too long to be practical, whereas 23" might just be short enough.
So again, very interested to hear any reviews on the holster's practicality.
