First, no more Remington 870's as I have two tax stamp models already and a couple beaters. I also have a Ted Yost/Gunsite Remington 1187 and a Benelli autoloader.
I am unconvinced I want or need a bullpup shotgun (IWI TS-12? or similar) as I don't want a 10# shotgun and want something I can actually hold on 'target' if need be (hate heavy forends and mag tubes). A 5 round tube is enough but, 7 or so is better as long as it doesn't get too 'nose' heavy and remains 'balanced'.
Ideally, street pricing will be in the ~$1,000 to ~$1,200 range, though less is certainly better. I don't want to skimp on quality and durability (including no malfunctions if used as a club or baseball bat, much less being dropped on concrete for example). Compliance parts for 922r, if required, for a folding stock is important. Lastly, after shoulder surgery, I need to be realistic about recoil impacts on my shoulder. A Benelli Super Nova for example is a non-starter (I have one of those currently). A good folding stock option is a 'desire-ment'.
The Fabarms Pro seems like a solid choice. The muzzle break could be 'welded' to keep overall length down and while a folding stock won't be a factory option, 992r parts should get around that issue.
What other options am I missing? What are your thoughts on the Fabarms Pro model?
TIA,
Sid
