| | | ok, so i pass by the gun shop alot. well i had some time to waste so i stop in. i look around and keep to myself. then i see an ar-15 with a sign above it. "LOOK! We have an ar-15 (lists the specs.) IN LEFT HAND for all you SOUTHPAWS! Just ask to see it. well the ar under the sign is r/h as %99.9999999999999 of all the rifles/carbines/shotguns, handguns,pistols, and everything else in the world (less cars in england). so i do what the sign says and ask to see it. the reply from the sale guy was less than helpful. "well we dont have one that i can show you"- he says. "but, look at a r/h ar in a mirror, thats what it looks like." yeah, gottcha' dick head. "but, we can order you one, it can be here as soon as late next week." "well, if i wanted one that bad, i would call my buddys over at spikes tactical, and i could have one in a few hours." i reply- he did not think that was funny. i turn and look at some other stuff they have as im leaving. then he says something i cant really hear (see my other rant), and i reply "maybe you should take the sign down then huh?" so till i can get my hands on one to test drive, i guess all i can do is look at some gun porn like this:

| | | Posted by Therrin I have a solution to your problem. Enter the FN PS90. Chambered in the 5.7x28mm cartridge, the PS90 utilizes blowback operation and fires from a closed bolt for greater accuracy and reliability. The PS90’s civilian legal 16.04" cold hammer-forged MIL-SPEC barrel is equipped with an integrated muzzle brake to reduce recoil. Dual magazine latches, cocking handles and an innovative olive drab synthetic thumbhole stock with a molded-in sling attachment point help make the PS90 fully ambidextrous. Models with 10- or 30-round polymer detachable magazines are available. http://www.fnhusa....ic/m/FNM0178mb.png
I started out righty, but due to gradual vision loss in my right eye I've been forced to switch to left-eye-dominant. Which works fine for shooting handguns, as I can easily adjust for that, but with rifles/shotguns... it means I have to start learning to shoot with a lefty-hold. And it introduces all the problems that go with that. Gah.
| FN makes many fine firearms, the ps90 is well built and is a very compact unit. im sure it will follow into the area that the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr_AUG has started. the problem i see with the PS90 is the round. its a wildcat, much like the .17 cal rimfires or the .222swift. it really has no purpose. the 5.7x28, is a pistol round made for the FN57, a very fast, flat running round that "goes away" once it hits "something" or falls like a brick after it effective range- maybe the first "safe round" ever made. but, having a side arm and rife that fire the same ammo is a wise choice...i think- but i would use a bigger round. enter the plr-16, (.223/5.56mm) and there we are again- same type of issue, too much round for a hand gun, not enough for a rifle. slower still is the 1911 / tommy gun (both .45acp)- you just cant win here. as for the rifle itself, i have held more than one. i shot one at the last "event" at the club where i shoot. but the $2800-3000 price tag and cost/supply of ammo told me it was more like a novelty. im not in the market for a l/h or ambi rifle. but its not that hard with todays cnc machines to make an ar in l/h. i would buy one if the $ were the same as a standard (sub $700 built).
