I have handled a FABARM pump. Outfitted very much like a Mossberg 590A1 with a heat shield etc. Better finishing than a Mossberg and good clean lines. I would still go with an 870 as it is a known quantity. On the Tactics-l list a gunsmith for a very busy range reported that he would see 1 870 in for repairs for every 10 Mossbergs. He was very strongly in favor of the 870 from a reliability standpoint. If you will not be using the weapon much then that factor is irrelevent.
