Ok, I was one of the first people on the infamous "waiting list" for the new FN PS90's. I actually happened to be at my local store when the FN rep was setting up shop and therefore I was among the very first to get on the list.
Anyway, I was first told it would be here in the Fall of '05. Later that was moved to End of the year '05....which I was told was a sure thing. Now we're rounding out January '06 and there's no end in sight. Since then, I've bought 14 boxes of SS195LF ammo @ $25/box. 6 magazines @ $65/piece. Bringing ,y total investment WITHOUT the firearm to about $725 or so.
I was recently told the price of the PS90 would go up $200 to $1500.00. Bringing the total investment to about $2250 when its all said and done.
Thats a LOT of money for a .22 caliber low-power carbine with hard to find ammo and questionable terminal balistics. Today, I got to thinking about what other toys I could buy with $2250:
a) A new M4 Bushy with an ACOG on it AND a NEW Glock.
b)An FN Special Police Rifle 1A 308...a Leupold MK4 scope AND a NEW CZ P-01
c) A Steyr Scout Rifle in .223....and a New Berretta PX4
d)An IMI UZI AND a NEW Benelli M1 Super 90
.....I could go on and on but you get my point. So I'll think about it for a couple more days but does this seem like a no-brainer? What says you?
