Saw a PS90 on my way to Austin yesterday. I've been wanting one for a long time, but hadn't followed up because I couldn't find the ammo anywhere. Now that the ammo supply has loosened up some I had a hard time walking away, but I had already decided to spend my available funds on a black powder pistol.

It is low recoil, flat shooting and accurate. Maybe one day it will be legal to purchase the full power rounds. That would be nice. I think that ridiculous ban is the main reason this caliber has not been more attractive to shooters. Enjoy!
I know I'm *really* late to the party (found this post by searching for five seven)....what holster/setup do you use to carry the five seven? Considering one...gotta get "buy in" from the boss.... :tiphat:

The only holster I could find in about an hour of searching the web (no patience) was an alien gear. It works great.

But I get to shoot it too! :fire

Oh same here. The wife loves my, err her five seven. I couldn't get her to shoot anything but my buckmark because she is recoil sensitive. She has no problem with the five seven though. It is now her home defense pistol.

Like jailbird, I at least get to shoot it.

I have been using a Fobus for OWB and a crossbreed IWB. The toughest thing for me has been to find magazine carriers. The gun is physically a little large, but it is very lightweight and much easier to carry than one would expect.

Man this thread is not helping in curbing my wants.

I really like the sounds of this pistol (would prefer striker-fired, but single action is ok), but I keep thinking for the cost I could buy 2.5 more Glock 19s. And anything worth having is worth having two of (With certain exceptions), so that's $2K+, before ammo.
