PS-90, reviews, anyone?

the 5 round limit on a little carbine that essentially shoots an expensive pistol round made this whole firearm pointless to me. But I also understand thats its a very innovative pretty damn cool firearm.
If I was in the US and they had a 16inch version, yah maybe it would have some appeal but so would a lot of other pistol calibre carbines, like the scorpion for example.
 
Had one, with a matching 5.7 pistol that was very accurate with a pretty decent trigger for a polymer pistol.
Well made, easy to maintain, always brought a crowd at the range who were more than happy to put a couple of rounds down range.
Horrible trigger on the carbine....ammo scarce and expensive....5/50 magazines....meh...at the end of the day nothing more than a footnote in firearms history as it was never embraced by police or military, as short barreled AR's have pretty much sealed the coffin on 9MM subguns, as well as the various manufacturer's versions of their own take on PDW technology.

Apparently so....
However, they also apparently use/used SIG SAUER 229s in .357SIG...yet another 'wierd Alice' calibre choice that was never embraced.
There will always be those that, "march to a different drummer".....
 
P90 was one of the most fun guns I've ever had the pleasure to shoot.

Personally I think it would be better in Canada if converted to .22lr for the mag limits or 223 for the ammo availability. If semi auto, the cost of 223 is not so bad.
 
I have the tri railed model, with a factory 16" barrel. Had it for a few years and its a fantastic rifle! If mag limits ever change, I would use it for 3 gun. Im hoping to get a 10.3" barrel this year, the way its ment to be.
Ammo is harder to find, but its available. Irunguns has also helped out the ammo scene. They currently have loads available. Priced better then the Canadian retailers that stocked it.
 
Finally,,,,"Home to Papa"

First test flight tonight 19:30 HRS

Thank you, IRUN GUNS for the pleasure.
