Pro: It holds 20 rounds, doesn't have much recoil and with the good ammo, it goes through most personal armor like buttah.
Con: They cost a lot for essentially a blow back pistol, it is a large pistol and the ammo is spendy.
Ruger makes a pistol that uses the same ammo and retails for less. I have not shot one, but Ruger makes good pistols.
OTOH, if you want what something spectacular, Keltec announced a 5.7x28 pistol that will use the P90 50 round magazines.
I had an AR57 AR upper that shot that round from the P90 magazines and ejected through the magazine well of the AR. The FN P90 magazines are some interesting technology, the rounds are stacked 90 degrees to the barrel and yet feed reliably.
