Should i get a ps90

Walked into the local gun shop and they had a PS90 on the shelf. Never handled one before. After holding it I was very much intrigued!

What do you all think of the PS90? What about compared to the x95 and RDB. Not so much interested in 5. More looking for all the other aspects. C: Brass in face? SG-1 baby!!! P: Very compact, Light weight, comfortable to hold P: 50rds of ammo at about 1lb is pretty nice.

Especially vs 30rd 5. Quote History. Get a left hand X95! Yes, they sell them that way. For your stated purposes the PS90 is the way to go. Isn't the answer here, always, yes?? Just got a ps90 as a fun gun. Ammo is really the Achilles heel of this firearm. It's expensive, and apparently made in runs so you have to jump on it when it's available otherwise availability goes down and price goes up.

That's where we are right now and I'm waiting and hoping that when another run comes through I'll be able to stock up at relatively cheap prices. I've also been considering reloading, but it does seem that this is a fairly delicate and time intensive cartridge to reload.

In terms of the actual ballistic effectiveness of the cartridge there is a great deal of debate. There are some that say it's a glorified 22 Magnum, and others say that it is a cartridge in between pistol and rifle power in that it can penetrate some soft body armor. However to get the penetration you need to be using specialty expensive ammunition. The cheap stuff might penetrate level 2 but to get a consistent penetration on level 3A you need the really expensive specialty stuff.

And if penetration is what you are looking for overall it is possible to get and reload 9mm that will do the same thing. Overall it's a really fun gun. I've only run about a hundred rounds through it based on the above mentioned ammo availability issues. I didn't purchase this as a specific used tool but more as a fun gun. I wouldn't hesitate to use it in any situation where a PCC would be useful. The compact size, light weight and high magazine capacity are all nice. If you're looking for a good bullpup rifle the X95, Aug, or RDB might be a better choice as these are chambered in actual rifle calibers.

If you're looking for a lightweight, light recoiling, pistol caliber bullpup then the ps90 would be fine. Just be aware that ammunition is both expensive and rare at times. Quoted: Just got a ps90 as a fun gun. Ammo though is what gets me because I like to shoot a lot and they are opening a range 6 miles from my house. The RDB can be switched to left hand when you first take it apart to clean, lube and inspect it. It shoots very well suppressed with it's adjustable gas block.

The ps90 is pretty neat and would make an awesome range toy. If I were considering one, ammo availability and costs would weigh heavily on my descision to buy it.

If you are going to stamp it and turn it into an SBR.. I've never shot one, or even seen one in use As for the X the cons you mention are easily remedied and you can get a left handed model straight from the factory. Midwest Industries makes a few parts for them, one of them is a plate that replaces the polymer ejector port cover which seems to leak gasses into peoples face when suppressed.

Does it matter what ammo ps90 uses? Any problem with using both FN and federal ammo with a ps90? Yes i would sbr the ps In good arf fashion i should buy them all. Lol which i will probably do eventually. I just dont want to plop down 4k on guns right now. Cant the x95 be changed back and fourth between left and right at will? Any left handed people shoot the x95 right handed? Quoted: Does it matter what ammo ps90 uses? Have some one cut down a stock SP90 Barrel?

It might "look" cool, but until you've felt how the whole thing feels in your hands, you can never truly guarantee that you will enjoy playing with that toy. Well that and the whole issue of finding full pressure ammo loads. If you ever visit a PSonly board, the posters just obsess over the types of ammo, finding ammo, gel tests of various ammo, etc.

You don't want to be that guy. I never owned a Kel tec and never will. I have owned an X95 and sold it after it sat for over a year. PS90s are definitely fun to shoot, they are pretty quite also. I miss mine. That's cool looking. My form 4 is approved. I need to pick mine up soon. View Quote View All Quotes.

Quoted: "and longer life. Better trigger pull, yes. Longer life, I sincerely doubt it as a stock trigger pack is good for north of 80, rounds. Anyone explain the SBR process that's actually done it? I think this is the process if I do it myself???? Is there any advantage to a cmmg barrel over the stock barrel or vis versa?

Are there any extra expenses or hidden things I should know about ahead of time before doing that whole process? Drilling the shroud will obviously destroy it. I don't ever see my self selling the gun. But is there any reason I would need to keep the stock barrel and shroud? Quoted: Anyone explain the SBR process that's actually done it? Thanks for all the really great info! It appears that once you start the SBR process there is no going back.

You would have to keep the stock barrel and try and use the old shroud with a hole in it. I cant find factory shrouds anywhere. Have few basic questions. Thanks for your time! Like the one pictured in this thread. This is the popular, compact form of rifle which has found favor among certain parts of the firearms community. So have FN managed to learn from the mistakes of others with the PS90, or does it have problems of its own?

It feeds a tiny cartridge that sits perpendicular to the barrel in a magazine ABOVE the action of the gun!?!?! It has two ergonomic holes for grips?!?! There are handguns that shoot this same cartridge.
