Fabarms Autumn 20 inquiry

[matt koepnick]

Hello all. I have been shopping around for a 20 for the misses. Along the way I came across the Fabarms Autumn 20 in pistol grip configuration with 28 inch bbls. As yet we haven't got to handle one. Nearest one is 2 hrs away. Before traveling to visit it, we were wondering if anyone has first hand experience with shooting or handling one of these . Weight and dimensions are good.
So far have narrowed down our search to 3 firearms from 3 different manufactures. Each has it's own merits with her shooting wants, interests and dimension needs. This gun would make number 4 to add on the list. Thanks for any insights.

The mechanics and lockup on that gun look a bit excessive.

Thanks guys. Although the Browning is nice, the barrel orientation is a little off.. Ha Ha . As we looked at several items, the older Beretta Silverhawk with D,T. and extractors is starting to become the most attractive to the Misses. They are pretty much what fits her, and they configure to her build . Thanks for inputs.

Matt,

Have you looked into the Dickinson guns? I personally owned one of their plantation over/unders and really liked it.

Matt, buy Her a Browning B-SS , THE BEST MADE S-S in the last 50 years.

We've handled a BSS one time at last years early OGCA show. was nice. From memory it had a single non select trigger. I know I've seen select triggers too. Maybe I'll find one at this weekend's show. Gonna go Sat and browse with my Repro...
I have never handled a Dickinson, but had looked hard at them when I was in my 16 gauge crazy days. Seen em advertised but never found any of them at my shows. searching for a 20 is a newer experience for me.
Thanks guys.

Matt are you looking for a used or new gun? SxS? 20g?

We are open to either used or new. She has very definite tastes as far as configuration. Has to be pistol grip, beavertail ,double trigger, and extractors no more than 7 lbs. The Fabarm Autumn is missing the trigger, but she likes the looks of it. She got spoiled with her repo'd from me restocked Sterlingworth 16. Has everything she likes except recoil now. She's has Beretta 20's in the past. All were O/U . She now wont shoot O/U, (like me) and said she wants 2 triggers if at all possible. There's no push since old man winter is here for a while . Just started shopping as "Chance favors the prepared mind" to borrow a line from under siege.
