I've looked at the FAIR sxs and have considered ordering a 16 gauge Iside with 30 inch barrels. They look like very nice guns, although the wood on the base Iside model is pretty plain. My only complaint about them is that the grip on the straight stock is bulkier than that to which I'm accustomed on British and earlier Italian guns. I suspect that's because the guns are intended for modern American ammunition, including the 1-1/4 ounce and high speed loads that are available in 16 gauge and they wanted to beef up a potential weak point.
