So a buddy of mine and I went to a local shooting range today to try out the Glock 17. We were both pretty interested in it and were thinking of getting one. However, the two of us have been avid FPS gamers for quite sometime and have both developed a kind of love of the P90.
So upon seeing one (a Ps90--long barrel semi auto) for sale in the store and then finding out we could rent one. We were torn because we came to try out a pistol but the P90 was there, calling our names. The range is organized in a manner such that you rent guns by caliber. This meant we could pay one rental fee say for a .45 caliber. This allowing us to shoot any variety of .45 guns that were available.
Luckily the range had a FN Herstal Five-seveN pistol which matches the caliber of the P90. So we took the 5.7 pistol and a box of 50 rounds into the range to fire the first weapon either of us have touched since we were just kids. His experience with a revolver at age 12, and mine with a .22 rifle at 14. This really being our first time firing guns since we really cared about firing guns. The pistol went rather well, with only completely missing the silhouette with 2 rounds each. Not a short or real long distance, I'd say 20-30ft maybe. Then we took to the P90 with a second box of 50 rounds starting with the targets near mid range, then moving them out as far as they would go, getting a total of only 6 misses, 3 each. The last 5 shots for each of us being within a 3" circle at just over halfway down the range. I think I'll be picking up the P90 they had for sale pretty soon.
It was really fun to shoot, amazingly accurate, almost no recoil. And, it was basically a P90. $90 well spent IMO.
