The FN PS90 is a civilian-legal variant of the FN P90 personal defense weapon, designed and manufactured by FN Herstal in Belgium. Introduced in 2005, the PS90 retains the futuristic bullpup design and high-capacity horizontal magazine of its military counterpart but features a 16-inch barrel to comply with civilian firearm regulations. Chambered for the 5.7x28mm cartridge, the PS90 offers low recoil, precision, and adaptability, making it popular for personal defense and recreational shooting.

Unlike the selective-fire P90, the PS90 is a semi-automatic-only firearm, catering to the civilian market in countries where ownership of military-style weapons is restricted. While production figures are not extensively published, the PS90 has seen significant sales in the United States and other nations with robust firearm collector and enthusiast communities. The weapon has been offered in several configurations, including models with Picatinny rail systems for mounting optics and accessories.

The FN PS90 is renowned for its distinct design and connection to the iconic P90, which has been featured prominently in pop culture. While it has not seen widespread service like its military counterpart, the PS90 is admired for its innovation, reliability, and ergonomic design. It has become a favorite among enthusiasts seeking a unique firearm with ties to a groundbreaking platform, blending cutting-edge technology with civilian accessibility.
