4 Best Suppressors for the 5.7×28 FN PS90
FN's motto is "Carry the Future," and there are few firearms on the market today that look more futuristic than their PS90, and when you add a suppressor to one, it is a sweet compact rifle. These ultra cool rifles are chambered in the fast 5.7x28 cartridge that FN developed for speed and carry capacity. The cartridge responds well to being suppressed and with the 5.7 gaining traction as a pistol cartridge, there are some really great options to 5.7x28 FN PS90 suppressors.
What makes the PS90 so cool
Chambered in the 5.7x28mm cartridge, the FN PS90 utilizes blowback operation and fires from a closed bolt for greater accuracy and reliability. Dual magazine latches, cocking handles, and an innovative synthetic thumbhole stock with a molded-in sling attachment point help make the FN PS90 fully ambidextrous. Sci-fi TV fans might recall that the show Stargate SG-1 prominently featured the FN PS90. Yep - it's that cool.
With its unique bullpup design, you almost don't mind the 16" barrel length requirement to keep it legal, and it definitely helps keep the PS90 down to a compact size. In fact, the bullpup design practically begs for a suppressor. That's where we come in. Being a bullpup rifle, adding a silencer doesn't have much affect on the balance of the rifle. This is a key thing to keep in mind.
Since the 5.7x28 cartridge can be fired through a variety of different suppressors designed for different calibers, there are a variety of different suppressor options that work. The list includes two rimfire options and two rifle-caliber options.

5.7x27 pistol compatibility
One thing that you may wonder is will these silencers work with a pistol chambered in 5.7x27. The short answer is yes as long as your pistol has the extended and threaded barrel to accept a suppressor. This includes the Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7, and the Palmetto State Armory Rock 5.7. Not all pistol-specific silencers are designed to handle the pressures from the 5.7. That is why it is important to buy from the experts.
