I think he might have the folding back-up sight. It folds down into the rail. It's hard to tell from that picture. Unless his is one of the ones that came with the other bigger sight and he removed it for some reason...

edit: like this

Oh that's pretty slick!

The PS90 is going to be SBR'd and I'll be purchasing an Suppressor for it shortly. I'm also debating on which red dot I want to use on it. I'd like to get a 1.5 ACOG with a RMR mounted to the side or on top of the ACOG. Or I may just end up with an Aimpoint. I like having BUIS with this model over the TR.

Just curious. I don't know much about those PS90s. Is ammo hard to find for them?

Oh you have an SBR?


No, it's got a pinned and welded Vortex on it making it the absurd legal requirement of 16.25". As a side note, it's a middy 1/7 too.

Oooooo nice a 14.5 middy!!! I like!
But alas I too long all my guns in a boating accident! So what ever I have managed to reaquire by then is what I'd have to take!

Absolutely not. Where I live, Gander Mountain, Bass Pro, and all the local gun shops/shooting ranges have a relatively large stock of it. At Bass Pro they usually have a few cases of both SS197SR and SS195LF (which are the two main civilian types of 5.7).

They usually run about $20 for 50rds of SS197SR and $24 for 50rds of SS195LF. You can also get specialty ammo from Elite Ammunition's website. They have AP, Subsonic, tracer, etc... but it's about double the price of the normal stuff. I'm hoping to start reloading myself soon though.

I would probably just take the CZ.

I know how much some people hate and mock pistol grip shotguns, But I love mine and it is very fun to shoot with the right loads.

hmmmmmm, decisions decisions..... LOL


Go with the Sig and the CZ, since you have more 9mm. Unless of course the zombies are the fast moving aggressive types, as in 28 days/weeks later. Then of course go with the .357 pistol and magnum 3" loads for the shot gun.

Thanks for the advice. If I am throwing 3inch slugs out of the Maverick 88, I would defiantly throw the original stock back on. Slugs with a pistol grip. ouch.

Handgun: Glock 19 or FiveseveN (if the it can wait another month or two my handgun choice will probably change to an FNP45 Tactical)

Since the P90 is so small I am usually able to carry a shotgun easily. But if I can only have 2 I'll stick with my first answers.


Just to add....

My Bride would be carrying her Sub2K and Glock 19 (she has extensive medical knowledge and is a pharmacist so her role will primarily be medic and need extra space for supplies). I am considering purchasing her a Vector Uzi, MP5 PDW clone, or a B&T TP9 also. We're obviously fans of subguns.

My AK for a long gun. My son would take the 10/22. I only have a few pistols, so I'd probably keep the Kel-Tec P11 in my front pocket like usual and carry the Makarov in its shoulder holster; I don't have a holster for the Taurus 24/7 yet, so it usually rides in a Maxpedition pack or backpack as backup.
God was my co-pilot, but our plane crashed in the mountains and I ate him.

In theory, there's no difference between practice and theory. In practice, there is.

I'd have to go with my SCAR 16S and my Para 1911. As much as I would like to keep my M1A, it's simply too heavy to lug around and use as a primary weapon, and I couldn't carry nearly enough ammo. The 1911 carries fewer rounds than my FNP40, but I very much prefer both it's feel and the .45 ACP round it fires over the FNP. My Lee-Enfield would be nice, but it's length, lack of ammo capacity, odd ball caliber, and over all age keep it from being a practical weapon.
