Saw a black Five-seveN in the movie Transcendence the other week. The camera spent quite a bit of time on the gun (both side and muzzle angles) so you were able to easily identify it. The guy holding the FsN was being mind-controlled and just kind of held it out there for all to see if I remember co...

I don't know about SS195, but SS197 and AE5728 seem to be getting a lot cheaper lately, which is good to see. Have you looked into SS198? It's not exactly cheap, but prices seem a bit lower for that too lately, and it's good ammo. That's a good point. SS198 is indeed a better deal right now than SS...

Oh nevermind, I just checked closely and yours doesn't appear to be a DAO.

If your gun is a DAO, one just sold on Gunbroker for 3,500.

I wouldn't shoot it. Do you know what year the gun was manufactured?

Well, now I have another question. I've called three places around, and all three are to call me if they can Get a Five-Seven In. My question is, what has happened to these pistols? One place I called, Freedom Ammunition, Has two on backorder and is supposed to call me when they come in. But why ar...

All I have ever fired was SS195 for practice, and cleaning my gun after firing 150rds or so seems almost pointless as it is always very clean. Store your SS195 in an ammo box with plenty of desiccant packs and you should be good to go for at least 10 years, but probably much, much longer. I have nev...

Rifles of all calibers from .17 to 45-70, and handguns from 4.25mm (a "Lilliput") through the Dirty Harry .44Mag to .45 Colt, and almost a continuum in between. At various times, I muse about selling one or more, followed by which one(s) would I sell. In...

I hardly use my FsN anymore due to the fact that I can't justify shooting ammo that has an economic value of a dollar or greater per round. As many on here know, I have the fixed sight model which is set from the factory for SS195. Well since I can no longer get any more SS195, I just keep it sealed...

Just saw this at Cabela's but I think I will pass at 30/box. It is comforting though to see such a nice, pretty stack.

Okay, I did some searching on the other forum and found that the double mag dealio is not all it's cracked up to be. Apparently rounds can shake loose on the second mag while firing from the first mag. It's one of those things noob ps90 owners always go for first. lol

I am going to try an Aimpoint type optic on my standard rail. I'm thinking a mag clamp will allow me to get a better cheek weld. Is Damage Industries the place to get a mag clamp now?

Hmmm.. I put a little black wheel bearing grease on the slide rails. It was an old AK trick I learned. You think I should stop? The stuff works really good.

A gunbroker auction. The prices are really coming down. I was scared a few months back that I might have missed the boat on the PS90. I was actually considering buying a 5.7 upper for a while. I'm happy and anxiously awaiting it's arrival.

I see that back in January of 2009, I posted my problems with loading the PS90 magazine--the same as others are having. IFire's video made it look simple, but it was then, and remains, a pain in the a$$. The other day, I decided I'd try loading it from the base end, then compress the spring and loc...

I believe that guns are tools and you should have what you NEED. Self protection is one thing, subsistence hunting is another. Make sure you have the right tool for the job.

Adding a suppressor is not the same as adding barrel length.

Thank you much.

But what I want to know is, when you cut the barrel down to 10.5 inches and then stick a 6 inch suppressor on it, how are the velocity numbers compared to the unaltered PS90 w/ the 16 inch barrel?

I just can't imagine there not being a 28gr factory round available.

Snake-skin is not tactical. Oh wait a min.. I guess it would be if you were hunting snakes. They would never see you coming ~

I'll be honest with you, besides a weapon being somewhat unusual, one of my other big motivations in acquiring a piece, is when the government hints that I shouldn't own it. That's what really got me into collecting guns several years ago; my liberty feeling threatened. If you look at my collection,...

I have really done a lot of reading on both 5.7 sites and can't quite get my question answered. It seems that an SBR with suppressor is about the same length as the stock PS90 before you cut it down. I've read the OAL is very similar between the two. Now, having read articles where suppressors have ...

That ES is not fun to shoot. I speak from experience. The long bbls are fine. Still worthless as a backcountry carry gun for me. Way too big. I will say the BC PC gun you have does shoot very well.

The .41magnum cartridge is an odd-ball, much like the 5.7x28mm cartridge. A real sleeper. Light loads like a .357 and heavy loads like a .44magnum all within the .41magnum's grasp.

I have heard differing opinions on the issue. As many people that have said it is discontinued have said it is still in production just delayed.

OMG I wanna skip 5.7 tracers over water too daddy!!! lol






100 bucks for 25 though..

Some of their loads, yes. That seller had a number of their loads for sale on GB at one point. IIRC they were utilizing Cutting Edge Bullets in one load and a VMAX projectile in another. Did you test the velocity on any of them? I am interested in the tracer ammunition. I just recently read an arti...

There are several firearms out now that shoot 500SW. All of them can handle the round. But I carry a 454 Alaskan for bear defense.

This is going to sound retarded and noobish but I was thinking about putting the fake suppressor on the end. I don't want to SBR it because I appreciate the extra velocity and that fake suppressor seems to eliminate the odd look of such a long barrel projecting from the compact body. Am I going to b...

You have a point, a conspiracy-laden point, but one that I did take into consideration before I posted. If the black helicopter man wants to swoop in and take my guns, he is sure welcome to try.

Molon Labe and all that jazz.

If you notice by my past purchases, practicality is not a prerequisite for me buying a firearm. I am kind of weird. I prefer to buy things that are unusual.

Yeah, put me in the sooo easy camp with regards to loading an FsN. I almost find it relaxing unless I was doing it all day.

Lisa and Jay - I hope you reconsider your thought to move to limiting to one box of ammo and reloading components (as per Lisa's post today regarding the GB auction for the new 32gr projectiles).

Once someone owns something it's a free country and as far as I am concerned they can do what the hell they want with what is now their property.

I talked with an ATF compliance rep at a large outfitter who told me that FsN's are no longer going to be sold to civilians and have either been self-restricted as "military only" by FNH, or are being restricted by our government.
