Thanks for the replies, looks like I want to use UMP mags (less "pogo-like") if I go the USC route, and a UMP conversion is just about definite as I don't too much care for the sporter configuration. Thanks for the replies.
 
I honestly don't mind the "sporter" configuration. The grip is just as comfortable as just about any converted one that I've held, and the stock is so skeletonized that sometimes I have to look twice to see which it is. I can live without a folding stock and a ten round mag change with a mag cinch is easy peasy.

It comes down to econmics. Spending $1400 just so that I can spend another thousand or two isn't my game. But, more power to those that do as they seem to be really happy with what they have.

BTW, with a related weapon, the SL8, I find the thumbhole stock to provide one of the most positive and firm grips of any rifle I have fired. My hand almost locks into that thumbhole. No, it's not a weapon that I will be clearing rooms with, the same with the USC, but I'm not clearing as many rooms as I used to, except when I eat stuffed cabbage ;)
 
If I had to choose between the two I'd choose the FN because they seem to hate us less:) But I'd probably buy another 1911 with the money.

If I got a PS90 I'd want the barrel leagally cut down to Stargate SG1 length, and a 5.7 pistol to match; and if something attacked me that was too big and nasty to kill with 5.7, I'll want a .25ACP for backup.:)
 
I'm curious about cutting the length of a barrel on a gun that is arguably marginal to begin with. How much of a velocity difference is there between a P90 and PS90? Is it significant?
 
:uhoh: Uh-oh found out some sobering news, the 5.7 is only marginally better than the .22WM and worse than a .22 Hornet. :barf: Ummm, so much for being a cop killer, more like a cat killer. I kinda like big boy guns (strongly considering both a .338 Lapua and a .458 Lott as next rifle...after the SMG). A .45ACP or 9mm is looking more promising... Anyone know of any manufacturers of MP5s (e.g.: Vector)?
 
bleh, no Hicap mags for the HK... and HK hates you.

FN all the way.

Yeah, the gun was designed to be full auto with.... 3 5.7 rounds hitting you would drop nearly anyone, me thinks.

How bout a beretta storm?

Brügger & Thomet BT96 and MKE T94 are the versions you can get in europe.. not sure if they are sold in to the USA as well, but you would also have to get that stamp(?) that allows you short barrels.
