Title: Fabarm l4s?
Post by: Irish_hunter93 on February 09, 2024, 05:36:31 PM: Does anyone on this forum have one?

I'm seriously considering making a "big boy" purchase on a super nice semi auto upland gun, I'm stuck between a benelli ethos or a fabarm l4s.

I've always had "cheaper" remington or winchester shotguns my whole life and I feel like I'm to the point where I can justify something nice.

I've handled a couple different variations of the ethos shotguns at some local shops, but no one has any fabarms. I like to at least physically look at and handle a shotgun before I commit to ordering one. Most people seem to love em.

Pros and cons? Anyone who has one willing to maybe let me look at one?

Thanks

Mainly interested in the l4s

You could at least check out the controls and the general feeling of the gun. The Fabarms have a quite different feel than the Benellis. Benellis feel sleek to me. Fabarms fill your hands more. Like a Beretta. I want to say plump but that sounds derogatory. They are plump in a good way.

I'll go scope it out, thanks
