Ruger P95 Good, Bad and Ugly.

[arakboss]

For those who have owned or had much experience with the Ruger P-95, what are your thoughts on the pistol. Supposedly they made bunches of them but very few have been listed in classifieds lately. I believe the one I am looking at purchasing is this exact pistol. It is the newer poly frame with the accessory rail. Double action trigger is not great but not bad. Single action is better but not super.

Ruger P95 9mm pistol +3 mags +holster

Used Ruger P95 with holster and 3 magazines as pictured. Unknown round count but was rarely shot. Happy to trade and see whats out there but not looking for anything specific. Price is OBO. Item is with my FFL in Tigard and you coordinate with him.

I had one for awhile.
It worked well...shot well for me...I liked the sights and "heft" of the pistol.
Wasn't picky about ammo either.
Just couldn't warm up to the polymer frame , so I traded it off.

Nope. I guess the family member deal fell through.

I never understood why Ruger, of all gun mfgs, could come up with something so abominable.

A friend has one. Not a bad gun, but kinda klunky and heavy. Typical Ruger, it just works.

I had one for a bit. I ended up trading it off to my neighbor and he still brings it out when we go shooting. I never minded the looks and it's dead reliable. It's a bit heavy and the trigger is not he best, but for a beater gun, it's not bad at all. For the price though, I'd rather have a PSA Dagger or a couple other options in that price range.

I had one back in the 90s. Absolutely rock solid reliable. Also butt ugly, kind of clunky, and didn't offer anything over other automatics in the class. It isn't a bad handgun, but I have zero desire to own one again. YMMV.

True!

I once handled, and shot an early P95 and well, to me it seemed kind of cumbersome.

Wasn't the S&W Sigma of the same ilk? Those guns were before my time. We fell into a , another Ruger Klunker. SR9C for the wife. Got rid of that I've got to say though that my first plastic-fantastic purchase was an SR9C compact. I actually LIKE the feel of the nice thick grip. And still have it, with a laser, in the quick access safe with one in the chamber and safety engaged.

It would really take some doing to match the fugliness of a Har Pernt.

Compared to modern polymer firearms, it's not that good but I still have my first carry gun which is the P95PR.

I don't really carry it much anymore but it's a good shooting pistol IMO, but they it's what I started with and what my brother started with that I started practicing with.

Mine didn't like aluminum cased ammo for whatever reason but other than that, it ate everything else.

I passed on the P-85. After handling a bit more I decided it wasn't for me. Moving on to baby Glock now.

 

[VinnieBoomBah]

Late to the party, but from what I have heard the 9mm are solid and reliable but nothing special but for some reason the 45acp ones tend to be extremely accurate

 

[2ndtimer]

I had one for awhile years ago. It was okay, even took a ground squirrel with it. Much preferred the Glock 19 that replaced it. And have since gravitated to CZ P-09 and SP-01.
For you non Washington state guys, a new CZ P-09 can be had for $349 with 19 round magazines.

I caught the autism just by reading this thread so no.

Ugly, heavy, unwieldy and built like a tank.
Looks Russian.
