Looking to pick up a PS90. Not sure if I will stick with 16" barrel or SBR it.

The plan is to have a dedicate can for the PS90. What are my best options for both SBR route and 16" barrel?

I don’t know about best, but I slapped on a Turbo K on mine and it’s been great.

A rim fire suppressor rated for 5.7 was too loud for my liking.

I SBR'd mine.  A can on the skinny barrel (under the shroud, which you'd have to deal with - remove) would be "special" looking.

I have an old school Gemtech Halo on it.

Agreed.  Use a 5.56 can, not a .22 rimfire can that is rated to also handle 5.7.  The small volume of a can designed for .22 isn’t that effective for the greater gas of 5.7

Pretty good timing all things considered! I'm waiting for AU to ship my B&T P90/PS90  can so I can do some reviewing. It's a new dedicated can that uses the factory/clone muzzle devices similar to the Gemtech Halo design from the 2000s. I've always been pretty meh on the suppressor options for the PS90 and sat on my SBR stamp for a long time until this dropped like two weeks ago.

Have a old school Gemtech M4-96D I use on mine and I get massive POI shift when mounted, not baffle striking just huge POI shift (feet not inches).  Anybody else see that or am I just lucky.

I added a Rad 22 to my PS90 SBR and had to max out the adjustment on my red dot just to get on target.
Definitely no strikes.
I’ve since bought centering rods and a spacer but haven’t tried either out yet.

Turbo K still on backorder. Any other good options?
What's the difference between the Turbo K & Turbo T3?

It’s about 1oz, 1” and 4 decibels difference between the 2 according to the specs.
I went with the T3, hope to see it by Christmas.

Thanks. That puts it into perspective.

Any other viable cans for the PS90?

Suppressed PS90 will enviably crack the stock where the takedown button is.

Maybe @Buffman_LT1 has photos

I think a more accurate statement would be FN designed the P90 to fire subsonic ammunition in a regular fashion vs supersonic ammo. People who fire full auto have cracked butt pads over time, and there is the possibly of damaging the stock where the take down button is.

I wanted to post this, but didn't want to spoil everyone's fun.  I just don't think it's a good gun to suppress.

Also, subsonic is pointless.

Looks cool, though.

For those who run the giggle switch and can get good stuff from FN, SB193 works as intended. A subsonic round capable of penetrating multiple types of soft IIIA while providing 12"+ of penetration. Outside of that, for us normies, it's just fun at the range, unless you want to run the expanding copper bullets

From reading various forums and what not I've gathered a good route to go is SBR the gun first then add a .30 cal or 9mm can to tame the initial blast at the muzzle and keep backpressure down.

After that its more about keeping the recoil from beating the stock to death or popping the magazine out. You can swap out the 1.5oz rate reducer for a 3.0oz full tungsten block (pricey @ $192) or go ghetto style with lead golfers tape (like $10) applied all over the bolt carrier. You can get stronger magazine release springs as well but that seems more like a bandaid solution than a real fix. There is also a stock repair/preventative measure you can install as last resort.

Going to buy the CMMG barrel. That looks like the best bet as far as aftermarket barrels go

Not a ringing endorsement for the Sandman K on a PS90 Is your PS90 troublesome without the can?

Had the B+T out this weekend for a few dozen shots to compare it to some other cans. Really pleased so far but need to put more miles on it

So much for SilencerShop being easy. No problems last time I bought cans, but this time around we are 2+ weeks in trying to certify everything with the same error they can't figure out. Keep making different excuses, but nothing they say to do works

I used my Silencerco Omega 300 and it worked great, but I wanted a dedicated suppressor. I bought the GSL P-90 for it and I am waiting (I hope not much longer) for it to be approved. My dealer who is a good friend let me have the flash hider to put on the SBR. I am just now in the waiting game.

I have heard that these are made by the same guy who designed the Gemtech SAR57. We will see how it performs.

I use a Surefire SOCOM mini and it’s great. Zero issues. Arms Unlimited had the B&T P90 specific can for under $600 though.
