What magnified optic are you running on your ps90 & on what mount? I've got the 1x primary arms microprism on the TROS mount on mine right now, but I want a magnified optic. |

| You'd probably want to stick to the ACOG platform mount and get something lightly magnified with a large field of view and also use something like HB Industries Low Profile Mounts to be able to get the optic low enough to not be goofy and tall. I'm using a Aimpoint Acro mounted right on the top rail and it's already pretty high, I can't imagine the weird positioning you'd have to shoot it in if you put a scope mount on top of the OEM rail. I think I'm leaning towards the Trijicon MRO HD with its ring and dot plus a low-profile mount replacing the OEM rail as one of the best setups for the gun. |

It’s more than the mini acogs people are running according to the specs. I have one coming for another gun, I’ll mock it up and see if it might work. |

I don’t currently have access to my PS90, my safes are buried in moving boxes and hoarding junk so I was wondering approximately what the measurement eye relief needed would be? 4”, 5”, more? I was almost thinking an old Colt 4x scope that used to put on AR15 carry handles might work but probably not enough eye relief. |

Also, it's just a range toy for me. I could understand if someone using this for self-defense didn't want to add all this weight or bulk. I have a T3 can in jail & still waiting on my Form 1 to be approved. It will be even more fun after those two things are complete. |
