If the weapon/triggergroup is manufactured after 1989, from what I understand, and you do not have correct paperwork, it is.

That is why I would never own a PS90/5.7x28 caliber weapon except as a toy.

Whatever you get, I think a first handgun should be 9mm. That way you will go and shoot it more as ammo is cheaper, recoil is less, etc. If you don't train with it enough to put the lead on target when it counts, caliber doesn't matter one bit.

The neat thing about the P90 is a marked lack of recoil, and the fact that while the SS190 round is like an ice-pick with only a small stretch cavity and very small permanent cavity, even at the points where it tumbles, it WILL punch through body-armor and if you put 30-40 of them on a person...it adds up.

Since I cannot own a full-auto P90, and I want the problem solved in as little hits as possible while not totally giving up ammunition capacity, the 9mm makes more sense for me. 16 rounds in a compact package + a spare magazine=31 rounds everywhere I go, 16 ready immediately. Really like my G19/MTAC

I trained with the USSS, and they were average shooters. I think they made the wrong choice with their service weapons.

I personally like the Glock 9mm option. However, I train with the Sig 229.

I voted for the shotgun for close quarter combat shooting. Actually, I'd like to have the handgun on standby if I'm going to use the shotgun as my primary before running out of ammo.

Wow.....lol.....Lack of recoil? lol I can not believe that no one here even knows what an FN FIVE_SEVEN is.....the least recoil pistol make.....weighs 1.2 pounds........and that it is what the "Fort Hood" shooter used to shoot over 100 times in 30 seconds......I mean every CIA.....NSA agent carries one !!!! By the time you get two rounds off at someone with an FN.......he can put 6 or 7 on you .....and with a muzzle velocity of over 2,000 ft a second......your guns mentioned here are at about 900 ft a second

Better than a bullet ricocheting all over the place. Besides, if they're hiding around the corner, then I can shoot through the wall/corner with a slug.
