Just had long discussion with a gentlemen I've known for many years.
He stated the following:
"I bought a PS90 and blew the barrel out shooting the 192 in rapid fire
after 100rds, the barrel bulged badly, he sent it back, and then blew out the replacement barrel just the same, finally the FN distributor sent him a Black (rare at the time), and he blew the barrel out just the same way, finally the distributor in Missouri (I live IN FLA), gave him all his money back, with the agreement that he would not share this problem with anyone, he was told that the lower pressure 197 blue tip ammo would not cause a problem, however the PS90 cannot handle the Higher pressure rounds made for the P90, he also told me that the entire gun except for the stock is made in Missouri, and it is a piece of junk.
This is after I bought my PS90 green with the secret service sight, he told me to get rid of it, that it is just a unreliable pile of junk that looks cool,
I know this guy very well, and he has some distribution level connections
so I'm not totally discounting his statements.
Someone that really knows the weapon, and I mean knows the weapon please make me feel better about my $2000+ purchase (weapon and accessories), where is this weapon made?, is it reliable or just another hi tech pile of junk?, how is the barrel constructed, chrome lined etc. etc. someone please help.
Thank You.
