[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 1138909, member: 7815"] For no good reason I have a serious jones for an FN PS90 carbine in 5.7x28. I like the feel of the gun, and think the engineering is the coolest thing since roast mushrooms (sliced bread isn't cool :cool:). The field strip is so elegantly simple it's crazy. Anyway, the current [I]American Handgunner[/I] includes a joint review of the Five-Seven pistol and the PS90. It's reasonably informative, although it's clear that FNH wanted the sporting aspects of the two guns to be stressed. You could read the whole article and not learn that factory 50-round magazines exist for the carbine. Both guns were 100% reliable, as I recall. PS90 was very accurate for a combat gun, 1.5 MOA. Pushes the 40 grain pills around 2000 to 2100 fps. I think it would be a sweet anti-predator setup, where legal, to keep in a cabin or truck. Not much different in effect from a .22 Magnum bolt rifle, but short, handy, military tough, and with some secondary application as a defensive carbine that the bolt gun couldn't approach. The Five-Seven pistol they tested had accuracy problems. Couldn't hold a 3.5" group at 25 yards. Probably not acceptable for sporting uses FWIW. Self-defense may be a different story. [/QUOTE]
