Should I get one after the SHTF, bat-shit crazy prices are over?
Post some pics if you own one.

I say get the AR57 upper instead. Same basic functionality, but keep the AR modularity.

http://www.ar15.com/media/viewFile.html?i=29609 Not to hijack a thread, but are any of the AR57 uppers FA capable? I've never handled one. I do have an RRM16, so I am interested in one once the retarded 5.7 prices come back down |

I do have an RRM16, so I am interested in one once the retarded 5.7 prices come back down My SBR lower is not FA, so I cannot speak from direct experience. However, since the operation is simple blowback, I don't see why there'd be any issue with FA action - so I think the upper would be FA capable. |

Yes, they make a FA bolt for them

The PS90 is my favorite gun, one of the most original firearm designs you'll ever come across. It's so compact and light. Left, right handed, doesn't matter. Easy to field strip.
The big drawback is ammo availability, but you can say that about a lot of guns right now. I was finding 50 rds for about $20 before the panic. |

Had one. Really cool gun. But the price of the ammo was just stupid. It was like shooting a .22lr, except way the hell more expensive. It was like $25 or something just to fill the magazine. That's only $.50 a round, I really don't see a problem with that. Regular 5.56fmj stuff was around $.35 in the normal days. |

Only reason I finally bought one was because I was able to get it at dealer price and I snagged 4000 rnds of 5.7 at a going out of business sale for $10-$13 a box. It was like the stars were aligned for me so I could not pass that deal up.
I SBR'd mine last year but I still have not gotten around to finding a short barrel or making arrangements to get mine cut. I need to sort that out soon.

Quoted:
Why, oh why don't they just make a 223 version Because it would be too wide. The bullets are perpendicular to the chamber as they sit in the magazine and turn through 90 degrees as they exit the mag and enter the chamber. II like mine. Before everything got stupid, I never had problems finding ammo to feed it at reasonable prices. A box of 50 seemed to be priced like a box of 20 .223 hunting ammo. II think I'll take it to the range next week. It's been a while. |

I love mine... I say go for it. I bought mine for $1500 a few years ago. It always gets a stare when I take it to the range and IMO is very fun to shoot. It will be the next firearm of mine that I put some work into. I want to SBR it, and put a red dot and a weapon light on it too. I think with that set up its a great home defense/CQC gun. Plus having a 50 round magazine is nice too

Having only handled one, I want one. But ammo and parts availability would be an issue in a SHTF situation. SHTF comes you should already have everything you need. IF part of your plan involves scavenging anything, then you already boarded the fail train. Shit will not be lying around for the picking, and if it is then the voice of admiral Akbar should be ringing in your head. |

Fun little gun to play with for a while. Ergonomics are good. Trigger isn't terrible.
Sight height over bore is a PITA. Ammo used to be silly expensive vs. 223. Now everything is silly expensive. Would be much more fun as an SBR. Sold since it had no application in any practical shooting sports, due to the caliber. |

To each his own, but 50 cents a round for what is just like shooting a .22 was not even remotely worth it to me. I don't care to drop $100 minimum in a single range trip shooting something that is no more fun or powerful than a 10/22. I'd get another one if the cost of the ammo was comparable to 9mm. |

May need to do some research on the 5.7x28 round before you post complete nonsense.

I'm talking about how the round feels to shoot. I know they are more powerful than a .22, but shooting one felt literally no different than plinking with a 10/22. Not worth the cost at all. Maybe if I was rich and had money to absolutely piss away lol |

Maybe if I was rich and had money to absolutely piss away lol .50 cents a round is not bad at all. I bought 1750 rounds at that price since January. Considering 223/5.56 is going for around a buck a round. You do the math. Also, each round has a specific purpose and the 5.7 does it's purpose well.

I wouldn't even entertain the idea of getting one if it cost me $1.20 every time I pulled the trigger haha |

I know that, but realistically, all my PS90 was likely to ever be was an expensive range toy. Just wasn't worth it to me. If you like it, then rock on man, enjoy it. |
