The Wait To Finally Get It To The Range Was Worth It

The other gun I took to the range on Saturday was a PS90.

I had always wanted one and had tried a friend's PS90 and found it both a neat design and very fun to shoot. 

So I ended up getting one last year.

 

However, with the 16" barrel it really just doesn't look right. 

So, in accordance with the Laws of the Lord and Man, it was to be duly circumcised.

The Laws of Man caused the most delay in the circumcision ceremony taking place.

First the Form 1 had to be approved.

Then, unfortunately, by the time it was approved, the Law of Supply and Demand caused an issue - no one had the proper short barrel available to purchase anywhere.

This was annoying as many were available when I first purchased it and did the Form 1. But, under no circumstances do you want to have a short barrel in your possession without the approved tax stamp, so it had to wait - by which time they were all out of stock everywhere for months.

Finally CMMG did a run of them, and I got my barrel and the circumcision ceremony could take place. 

The ceremony was then undertaken, and included all the appropriate prayers as well as vocabulary, a drill, a vise, and some other tools, and it was done:

Then I mounted a Holosun 509T, added an Urban ERT Sling kit to the mix (great sling btw) and then took it to the range.

Impressively, the sight was dead on at 100 yards.  Close in, it was good enough to nail steel at both 10 and 7 yards, and with holding on the top of the steel at those ranges I could hit it right on and flip a small disk back and forth as seen below. Closer than 7 yards, the offset between the height of the sight versus the barrel becomes readily apparent and it really shoots predictably low compared to your aiming point.

The PS90 is quite simply ridiculously fun to shoot.  

With a 50 round magazine and no felt recoil, accuracy was great and it was really just plain fun. Tosh couldn't believe how much fun it was to shoot:


I also put on a SilencerCo Hybrid46 Can, which reduced the sound a bit, but not the supersonic cracks of the rounds.


 Lots of fun was had, and it ran absolutely flawlessly.  The only downside is the cost per round.  At nearly $1 a pop, 50 rounds kinda hurts the wallet even as it puts a big smile on your face.

The wait was well worth it.

They are even more fun in full auto, as long as somebody ELSE is paying for the ammo! :-)

Old NFO: Full auto would be absolutely awesome, I just wished that never sufficiently damned Hughes amendment had never passed, Sigh.

Now, all you need is a Stargate....

Aaron said...

Comrade Misfit: Yes, a Stargate and a legal full auto P90 to go with it. But, neither one are likely to come into my possession in reality sadly.
