Not for me...

If one doesn’t want to pay FN prices, and still hates Bill for selling out on the magazine thing….the PSA offering with 23 rounds and a price tag that beats the other guys is going to sell.

Assuming ammo is available.

 

[meistermash]

Ima purchase one of these as well.
Got the ruger.
And yeah at the time I hated ol Bill.
Ammo though. It's up to a $1.00 a round.
I have ventured into loading for it but in a preliminary capacity.

It's cool, standard capacity is at the awesome level, decent round, fits a real handgun and not an "AR PISTOL", has a Bullpup Carbine or SBR companion, high tech and modern... all pluses.

But now the negatives, which there are many.
1. No mag sharing between handgun and Carbine/SBR. Not a deal breaker, but still a small negative.

2. Sky high ammo, with lots less performance than comparable 5.56 rounds, which are half the price. ALSO, unobtainium AP and Military rounds which makes the whole platform viable, within it's limitations. In other words, the synergy is broken without the good ammo. 😭

3. Can't get any transferable full auto, too new for the pre-86 rule.

4. Even the $500 PSA Pistol, 10 or 12 magazines, a couple thousand rounds and a P90 with a brace of magazines will break my budget badly 😹😹😹 I just can't not go in whole hog if it's a fighting combo.
"Mole's Rules and all that 🤪

Really cool setup, just lots of hurdles to get it how I'd want it, dangit!

My nephew even has the FN 5.7 pistol. He loves it, but... ammo. Says it's a flat shooter, good accuracy, low recoil. I'd like to try it some day, buy a box of ammo and have him bring it over.

A buddy just bought a PS90. Then decided to buy ammo. He's regretting his decision. I told him not to he didn't listen. Lol.
