Yeah, I think I remember reading on a thread here that Secret Service guys at la Casa Blanca carry these.

Post by: Pyskee on March 24, 2007, 11:16:22 PM: There's a lot of SF and Secret Service guys that use them, like nosmo said. And like pilz said, drivers and vehicle crews like the compact size.

Also, from what I've seen, SWAT is starting to use them. A guy I know up in Kansas had a hostage situation happen right next door and took pictures of SWAT officers with P90's.

Post by: usafcajun on April 08, 2007, 08:19:22 PM: I'll take a belt-fed .308 if you're selling! :) I know the PS-90 I own is a great little gun. I can fire a 50 rd mag at a steel plate target while at a fast walk and have all the rounds hit. It's a fast rd and the black tips will cut through steel plate no problem.....but then so will .223 and .308 AP rds.
