A Taurus 5.7 carbine.

Thats a recipe for hilarity.

I enjoy the round in the Fn 5.7, and short of investing in a brace I'm just looking at options.

MSRP $1300? FN PS90 isn't too far off...

Taurus has never made and Diamondback firearms. They only handled sales and distribution, and that partnership ended years ago. Diamondback is their own company.

I got to fondle the DBX at the Outdoor Show earlier this year. It's really light. Handles nice, too. I like that is uses FN mags, but for folks that recently bought the Ruger 57, they're planning a version that takes those mags, too. My only complaint is the price. Retail it's what I paid for my PS90. But it's also piston driven, and is much lighter. The PS90 isn't heavy, but it's not well balanced.

If I didn't own the PS90, I'd probably get the DBX, but since I have the PS90, another $1200 5.7 gun is a hard pill to swallow. Especially considering, I can carry 50 rounds in the PS90, but the biggest mag for the DBX is 30 rounds. If it was $800, I'd be all over it, however.
