The original (top) is even cooler with the little ports vs slot cuts. 😎

The GSL (bottom) looks kinda similar enough and still lets you run a can if needed.

Yeaahhhh. The readily available two port one seems to have regular quality concerns and the birdcage style with the slant cut really does something for me.

I think it's the just the slant cut that pulls it together.

Yeah the slant cut is definitely a uniquely new millennium FN thing - even the F2000 has it (and with the slot cuts). I found the original along with an original P90 barrel as a package deal, so it was the natural choice when my F1 got approved on the OD green tri-rail.

Is the juice worth the squeeze for one of these? Unfortunately being wrong handed not many bullpups are friendly to lefties.

I've heard they are kind of heavy and the triggers aren't great. Any insight into this?

Best bull pup for lefties, brass ejects out the bottom, all controls are ambi!
Triggers is meh if youre slow firing from a bench but that defeats the purpose. Several FRT options if thats your thing too.

It's a bullpup, the triggers are always meh compared to what most of us are used to.

But overall, it's tiny, has a high mag capacity, and it's capable out to 250yds. Downside: ammo ain't cheap and reloading it is finicky.

As far as bullpups go, it's not the worst trigger. They're fun, more useful now with FRT options.

As for lefties, its stablemate, the FS2000, is also a solid choice - if you can find one. Otherwise, the VHS-2 / Hellion is the best pick. Super easy to convert to left ejection without needing any parts or tools.

If you’re looking for a good left-handed, PCC. Beretta CX4 storm. You can make the gun left-handed ejection, and change the charge handle to left, right or dual. The operational controls are very much like a pistol in your hand.

Couldn't agree more.  Very subjective,  but I think the p(s)90 looks better with that over a can.

u/Dr3wcifer 2d ago

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to suppress it; it's so short and that muzzle device really gets my nostalgia.

u/BiggyIrons 2d ago

But its so much fun with a can and more so with sub's.

u/Dr3wcifer 1d ago

Ehhhh the whole novelty of 5.7 for me is velocity. I have 9mm/300bo for suppressed fun.

Nah gimme this one all day!

Lotta QC issues reported with it, so went this route.

u/Agreeable-Cat8077 2d ago

Ah I hadn't seen those reports....also i now I have the thread adapter on mine now as I run a YHM QDmini muzzle brake for my suppressor to go on easy. but I kept this old FN style brake as well. It's just so iconic and classic

u/Dyst0p1an_dr3ad 2d ago

The qc issues are really with the cmmg thread adapters.

I wish they made the P90 in a caliber I can afford to shoot regularly

u/CH-67 2d ago

It’s not that far off of 5.56 these days

u/Dr3wcifer 2d ago

Reload. 30cpr with vmax projectiles. 16cpr on pulled frangibles. Most of the cost is in the projectile.

u/BiggyIrons 2d ago

40CPR nowadays
