BIO

Gun model: XLR5 LR (Long Rib) Silver with 30″ barrels

What do you like about your Fabarm? Great handling and adjustability. Very well made and designed. The softest shooting semi-automatic I have ever used!
How has it improved your shooting? My Fabarm has given me confidence and is easily controlled when engaging targets near or far. Soft recoil makes transition between targets a snap.
