Ok, something I didn't think about until now is what type of action the PS90 is considered having. Is there a decocker? Is it DAO or SAO? How do you all store yours if you use it for self defense (i.e. 1 in the tube, or with an empty breech so you have to rack it like a shotgun before using it)?

Maybe I should have my gun dealer buddy mail me my owner's manual from the States... unless anyone has a pdf copy. *crosses fingers*

It is a direct blow back design. The barrel rotates a little and moves forward and backwards slightly to allow a tiny delay after ignition. There is also an anti-bounce weight on the bolt.

I keep the magazine loaded but nothing in the chamber. It is very easy and quick to chamber a round when needed. :?

See, I keep the mag loaded at 40 rounds (to not compress the spring all the way). And, I have 1 in the chanber, with the safety on.
Similar here.

  • Mag loaded at 30 rounds in weapon (Less stress on spring for compression)
  • Emply chanber
  • safety on (As always)
  • Carry bag with 3 more mags of 30
  • Blackhawk tactical sling handy in bag but not on weapon.
  • Weapon zipped up in bag as shown (not really handy that way, but oh-well)

Does it have a sensitive spring or something? I have heard to load your mags down, and then I have heard a couple less than maximum capacity.

Is it just personal preference?

I know the PS90 has its weird special mag, just wondering if it is more sensitive being plastic..and just weird looking in general..
