Early FN PS90 and 5.7 Pistol
Since I don't have much new to show I thought I would post these two that I bought when they first came out. I had two PS90's but sold one long ago. That is a Pentagon light and laser with every thing zeroed in. I had to install the rails for that rig but the sides of the sights are drilled and taped at the factory. The sling and brass catcher are FN
Back when these things came out, MidwayUSA was selling 2000 round cases of blue box FN ammo that came out to $16.50/box. I bought two of them and still have some left, plus the Red box LE only stuff. Early on I bought a life time supply of FN mags for both guns. Of the thousands of rounds put through these two, not one failure.

I came close to getting an early FN 5.7 pistol, but we discovered late wife#1 had an aversion to semi-autos after her first range trip with another pistol. Something about the slide darting back and forth really unnerved her. The FN pistols were cheap back then, too.

Cool. Do you reload for them? If so, how do you deal with the coating?

Several years ago, while running a gun shop, I bought a PS90 at cost as a project gun. I mounted a Leupold Tactical Prismatic Rifle Scope, 1x14x30mm Illuminated Glass Etched Circle Plex Reticle, a pad activated Laser-Max red laser on the left and a pad activated Streamlight TLR-1 light on the right. I hate to admit how much I have invested in this thing. It is a truly compact weapon system and this one is set up for HD, exactly how I want it. It is a hoot to shoot, although due to its short length and my ape arms, I struggle to find a stable way to hold the gun for offhand accurate distance shots.
I'm still thinking about filing a Form 1 and having it SBR'd.
Now that ammo prices are coming back down I need to put a couple more thousand rounds into stock.

I too have considered the SBR. The original select fire P90 had the much shorter barrel with the SS90 round coming out at 2789 fps that kicks like a 22mag RF with the energy of a long barrel 357 magnum. I'm paraphrasing from Blake Stevens' Browning High Power book.
